The unmanned ship global path
planning method provided by the invention covers the whole process from departure to sailing to an
open sea area and then to entering the port, firstly sets detailed sailing routes and parameters, distinguishes three routes of departure,
open sea area and entering the port, configures or dynamically calculates the resolution and safety distance of each segment of A star planning grid, and finally calculates the global path of the unmanned ship according to the resolution and safety distance of each segment of A star planning grid. Dividing a planning area according to navigation routing points, obtaining sea chart obstacle data in the planning area, performing
data point interpolation
processing, planning a path by applying an A star
algorithm of a corresponding grid resolution under the condition of considering the safe distance of the unmanned ship aiming at each section of area, and performing path point simplification
smoothing to ensure that all obstacles are avoided; and finally, seamlessly splicing the three paths of departure,
open sea area and arrival to form a complete and safe global
navigation path. According to the method, specific requirements of different sea areas are considered, a more refined path planning strategy is provided, an efficient and safe navigation scheme is provided for the unmanned ship, and the accuracy and efficiency of path planning are improved.
