Path planning for unmanned air vehicles based on B-spline curve and new potential-field algorithm
Xiaoping Han · Journal of Shandong University of Technology · 2012
In this paper,the path-planning problem for unmanned air vehicles was considered.We introduced a new potential function for path planning that has the remarkable feature based on B-Spline curve and new potential-field algorithm.We proved that the gradient vector of the potential could be used to search the path for unmanned air vehicles.Then we used B-Spline curve to revise and smooth the searching path.This new method makes great progress in moving amongst stationary obstacles situations.
