It is important to monitor the pipeline on a regular basis to reduce the possibility of leaks, spills, and theft. This inspection also serves to record real occurrences and their environmental impacts. With the support of advanced GPS, sensors, and communication technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide the support of intelligent inspection for pipeline systems. UAV path planning is an important part of pipeline inspection, which is to design a flight path with the least cost or time in advance. This chapter introduces the development of mathematical models and efficient solution algorithms for UAV path planning. The model strictly considers multiple inspection missions, the intricate terrain threats, and the harsh operational requirements. Meanwhile, for the complex structure and the large scale of pipeline, improved intelligent algorithm is used to improve the efficiency of model solution.
