Abstract

A Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path planning is presented, which involves choosing path representation and designing appropriate metric to measure the quality of the constructed network. Unlike our previous work in which genetic algorithm (GA) was used to implement implicit learning, the learning in the proposed algorithm is explicit, and the BOA is applied to implement such explicit learning by building a Bayesian network of the joint distribution of solutions. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach can overcome some drawbacks of other path planning algorithms. It is also suggested that the learning mechanism in the proposed approach might be suitable for other multivariate encoding problems.
