The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle path
planning method based on global search and meta-
heuristic optimization, and the method comprises the steps: firstly building an unmanned aerial vehicle path planning model under complex constraints, determining a
fitness function and a constraint condition thereof, setting
algorithm initialization parameters, carrying out the
chaotic mapping of an initialization
population position, and carrying out the optimization of the
algorithm; and performing loop iteration solution by using a meta-
heuristic optimization
algorithm, outputting a
global optimal path, finally realizing the
global optimal path on the unmanned aerial vehicle, and calculating a
flight distance corresponding to the optimal path to complete unmanned aerial vehicle path planning. According to the method, a meta-
heuristic algorithm, namely a crown
porcupine algorithm, is combined with
tabu search, the global search capability is enhanced, and meanwhile,
population initialization is optimized in combination with
chaotic mapping, so that the randomness and unpredictability are increased, the algorithm can converge more quickly, and the robustness of the algorithm is improved. The method has obvious advantages in solving the problem of path planning with complex environment and complex constraint, and solves the problem of path planning of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the three-dimensional complex mountain environment.
