Coverage-Recon: Coordinated Multi-Drone Image Sampling with Online Map Feedback

Coverage-Recon closes the loop between a drone team’s image-sampling motion and the 3D map being reconstructed from those images. Rather than planning a sweep in advance, the controller reads the evolving reconstruction and steers the fleet toward the regions where new viewpoints will most improve the map.
