Is there a way to create a Dubins path given a set of waypoints?

I want my UAV model to fly through a set of waypoints, is there any way I can decompose the path into dubins connections i.e straight line segments and circular arcs?

Yeah, but this requires start pose and goal pose. I want to connect a set of waypoints. How can I do that?

with "interpolate" and "poses" in this page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/uav/ref/uavdubinspathsegment.interpolate.html

The connect method of uavDubinsConnection can accept pairs of start and goal poses. Assume your waypoints are defined as a Nx4 matrix. Each row is one waypoint in [x, y, z, course angle] format. The following two lines should provide N-1 dubin's path connecting all your waypoints.
connector = uavDubinsConnection;
connector.connect(waypoints(1:end-1, :), waypoints(2:end, :))
