The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster patrol path decision-making method under resource constraint, and relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle path planning, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the
discretization of an actual to-be-patrolled physical position, and constructing an undirected
topological graph; generating steady-
state distribution of each patrol node according to topological constraints and importance degrees of the nodes; generating a plurality of transfer matrixes with the same steady-
state distribution and different transfer characteristics according to a multi-stage entropy driving
random matrix optimization
algorithm; initializing the position of a navigator according to the
transfer matrix and determining a selected path; according to the reference path of the navigator, the self-adaptive active positioning decision is realized under the positioning constraint to ensure the
path tracking effect; according to path selection and tracking of the navigator, the follower and the navigator form a humanoid
marshalling cluster through a reward function; and according to the multi-state
transfer matrix and the humanoid
marshalling, automatically switching to the next
transfer matrix when a transfer frequency threshold value is reached, and realizing unmanned aerial vehicle cluster intelligent patrol path decision under resource constraint.
