Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are extensively employed for urban image captures and the reconstruction of large-scale 3D models due to their affordability and versatility. However, most commercial flight software lack support for the adaptive capture of multi-view images. Furthermore, the limited performance and battery capacity of a single UAV hinder efficient image capturing of large-scale scenes. To address these challenges, this paper presents a novel method for multi-UAV continuous trajectory planning aimed at the image captures and reconstructions of a scene. Our primary contribution lies in the development of a path planning framework rooted in task and search principles. Within this framework, we initially ascertain optimal task locations for capturing images by assessing scene reconstructability, thereby enhancing the overall quality of reconstructions. Furthermore, we curtail energy costs of trajectories by allocating task sequences, characterized by minimal corners and lengths, among multiple UAVs. Ultimately, we integrate considerations of energy costs, safety, and reconstructability into a unified optimization process, facilitating the search for optimal paths for multiple UAVs. Empirical evaluations demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in facilitating collaborative full-scene image captures by multiple UAVs, achieving low energy costs while attaining high-quality 3D reconstructions.
