Efficient Angle-Aware Coverage Control for Large-Scale Map Reconstruction using Drone Networks

An angle-aware coverage controller that scales to large reconstruction areas by accounting for the viewing angle each drone contributes to a surface, not just its position. The formulation keeps the optimisation tractable as the map grows.
