Survey on computational-intelligence-based UAV path planning

Zhao, Yijing, Zheng, Zheng, Liu, Yang·2018·Knowledge-Based Systems

Abstract

Abstract The key objective of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path planning is to produce a flight path that connects a start state and a goal state while meeting the required constraints. Computational intelligence (CI) is a set of nature-inspired computational methodologies and approaches for addressing complex real-world problems for which mathematical or traditional modelling does not perform well. It has been applied in the field of UAVs since it can yield effective, accurate and rapid solutions. This article provides an overview of studies on UAV path planning based on CI methods published in major journals and conference proceedings. We survey relevant studies with respect to different CI algorithms utilized in UAV path planning, the types of time domain in UAV path planning, namely, offline and online, and the types of environment models, namely, 2D and 3D. It is observed that CI methods outperform traditional methods on online and 3D problems. The analysis is useful for identifying key results from UAV path planning research and is leveraged in this article to highlight trends and open issues.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
