A* path planning algorithm for autonomous underwater vehicles based on electronic charts
Abstract
This paper models the ocean environment based on electronic charts and image processing technology, and combines a bidirectional search strategy to improve the efficiency of the A* algorithm. Simulation experiments show that in electronic chart environments with different precision, the computational efficiency of the bidirectional A* algorithm is significantly higher than other algorithms, and it is suitable for path planning in large-scale sea areas.
