in this embodiment, in consideration of the movement characteristics of the unmanned ship, a bezier transition curve is constructed for processing the turning point and the turning point, and smooth optimization processing is performed.
Because the traditional artificial potential field method has the problems of easy sinking of local minimum points and unreachable targets, and the requirement on area coverage needs to be met when the traditional artificial potential field method is applied to search path planning, the embodiment improves the artificial potential field method as follows:
according to known obstacle information in a search area provided by an electronic chart, constructing a repulsive potential field function U when a manual potential field method is adopted for local path planning o (X) regarding a round area with the ship position of the unmanned ship as the center and tau as the radius as an area where the unmanned ship body is located, namely a forbidden area, and setting the safe distance of the unmanned ship as D safe The maximum detection distance of the unmanned ship sensor is D sen Setting a plurality of unmanned boats obstacle avoidance decision partitions comprising:
T < d (X, X) o )≤D safe Is set as an emergency outer expansion area, D safe <d(X,X o )≤D s Is set as a conventional obstacle avoidance zone, wherein D s =D sen -D safe D is to s <d(X,X o )≤D sen Is set as an emergency contraction zone, d (X, X o )>D sen The area of the unmanned aerial vehicle is set as a safety area, and each unmanned aerial vehicle obstacle avoidance decision partition is provided with a corresponding partition repulsive potential field function, wherein the repulsive potential field function U o (X) being capable of characterizing the distance relationship d (X, X) between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the target point g ) The corresponding formula is:

in the present embodiment, the distance relationship d (X, X) g ) Introducing repulsive potential field function U o In (X), namely:
the repulsive force of the obstacle to the unmanned ship is gradually reduced in the process that the unmanned ship approaches to the target position, the resultant force is directed towards the direction of the attractive force, and the unmanned ship can always move towards the target position.
As shown in fig. 4, the safe zone: distance d (X, X) between unmanned ship and obstacle o ) Greater than the maximum detection distance D of the unmanned ship sensor sen The distance between the unmanned ship and the obstacle in the area is far, and obstacle avoidance is not needed;
normally avoid the obstacle region: the distance between the unmanned ship and the obstacle in the area is proper, and the repulsive force coefficient function is not required to be adjusted;
emergency constriction zone: in order to prevent the obstacle from leaving the detection range of the unmanned ship sensor, the repulsive force potential field function needs to be adjusted to reduce the repulsive force born by the unmanned ship;
emergency out-expansion zone: the obstacle invades the safety field of unmanned ship and practically has collision danger, and in this region, in order to prevent unmanned ship and obstacle from colliding, the repulsive force potential field function needs to be adjusted to increase the repulsive force that unmanned ship receives for unmanned ship keeps away from the obstacle.
In a specific embodiment, in S5, as shown in fig. 2, the unmanned ship first obtains the coordinates of the target or the unknown obstacle in the sensor coordinate system through the sensor, and converts the coordinates of the target or the unknown obstacle in the sensor coordinate system into the coordinates of the target or the unknown obstacle in the global coordinate system, which specifically includes the following steps:
s51: it is assumed that the sensor is located at a point (x r 0), during the navigation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the position of the sensor coordinate system of the sensor relative to the ship body coordinate system is fixed, the azimuth angle and the distance of the target or the unknown obstacle relative to the unmanned aerial vehicle can be measured through the unmanned aerial vehicle sensor, and if the coordinates of the unknown obstacle under the sensor coordinate system are (d, theta) 1 ) Firstly converting the coordinates of an unknown obstacle in a sensor coordinate system into coordinates (x ', y') in a ship body coordinate system according to a coordinate transformation formula, wherein the corresponding coordinate transformation formula is as follows:
s52: the obtained coordinates of the unknown obstacle in the hull coordinate system are calculated according to the global coordinates (x u ,y u ) And a coordinate transformation formula for transforming the coordinates (x b ,y b ) The corresponding coordinate transformation formula is:
wherein alpha is u Is unmanned ship navigation direction and global coordinate system O 0 x 0 Included angle of axial direction.
In this embodiment, a method of multi-sensor fusion is adopted to detect the target and the unknown obstacle, so as to improve the detection precision and further improve the efficiency of the searching process.
Because the unknown obstacle can change the situation in the unmanned ship sailing process, the original planning path possibly becomes an unreachable area because of the intrusion of the unknown obstacle, and therefore, a local obstacle avoidance method used in the process of approaching the dynamic obstacle is adopted to finish the local dynamic obstacle avoidance of the unknown obstacle.
In a specific embodiment, in the step S5, when the unknown obstacle is detected, the unmanned aerial vehicle determines whether there are clear obstacle avoidance target points according to the coordinates of the unknown obstacle in the global coordinate system, and selects different methods for obstacle avoidance:
as shown in fig. 5a, when the unmanned aerial vehicle detects an unknown obstacle through the sensor and can detect the boundary of the unknown obstacle, if the unmanned aerial vehicle can find an obstacle avoidance target point according to the coordinates of the unknown obstacle under the global coordinate system, an artificial potential field method is adopted to plan a path for obstacle avoidance, but the artificial potential field method is based on path planning with an accurate target point, and when the size of the unknown obstacle exceeds the detection range of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the boundary of the unknown obstacle in the navigation direction cannot be confirmed, and further the clear obstacle avoidance target point cannot be obtained.
As shown in fig. 5b, if the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot find the obstacle avoidance target point according to the coordinates of the unknown obstacle in the global coordinate system, the unmanned aerial vehicle detects the unknown obstacle through the sensor and the boundary L of the unknown obstacle in the Ox axis direction of the hull coordinate system x Out of the detection range of unmanned boats, namely L x >(D sen -D safe ) When the unmanned ship is in the forward direction, the boundary length L of the unknown obstacle on the right side of the origin O in the Oy axis direction of the ship body coordinate system is determined y_right Boundary length L located to the left of origin O y_left The comparison relation between the swept area widths D of the unmanned ship in the straight line along the parallel line is selected to avoid the obstacle by adopting a Bug1 algorithm or a Bug2 algorithm, the Bug algorithm is simple and convenient to calculate, the shape of a global map and the shape of an obstacle do not need to be known, in order to meet the coverage requirement of a search area when the unmanned ship avoids an unknown obstacle, the existing Bug algorithm is improved, and different obstacle avoidance methods are provided based on the improved Bug algorithm, as shown in fig. 6, and the method specifically comprises the following steps of;
mode 1: as shown in fig. 7, when the sensor detects L of an unknown obstacle y_right Not less than D/2 and L y_left When the speed is less than D/2, the unmanned ship breaks away from the unknown obstacle by adopting a Bug2 algorithm, sets m-line as a global path, and selects to turn to the left to navigate so as to bypass the unknown obstacle, and leaves the unknown obstacle when meeting the m-line again, and re-navigates to the original planning path to continue navigating;
mode 2: as shown in fig. 8, when the sensor detects L of an unknown obstacle y_right < D/2 and L y_left When the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the unknown obstacle is not less than D/2, the unmanned aerial vehicle breaks away from the unknown obstacle by adopting a Bug2 algorithm, an m-line is set as a global path, the unmanned aerial vehicle selectively turns to the right to navigate so as to bypass the unknown obstacle, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle meets the m-line again, the unmanned aerial vehicle leaves the unknown obstacle and sails on the original planning path again;
