Among the investigated methods to find the best camera positions, two of them are studied, namely the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the Genetic Algorithms (GA). After having performed experiments to compare the algorithms, the hybridization of GA and PSO is investigated. To validate the proposed method, it is simulated area of irregular shapes with the cameras mounted on a Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). V-REP is used to simulate the UAVs in an indoor environment and satellite images are used for a large outdoor area. The simulation validates the efficiency of the proposed method to find the optimal position of cameras. Then by using the images acquired it is possible to monitor the area and to compute a full mosaic of it. © 2017 IEEE.
