In recent decades,the asymptotically optimal Rapidly-exploring Random Tree* (RRT*) algorithm has attracted extensive attention.In order to solve the problems of slow convergence and high costs of generating path,an improved APF-Informed-RRT* fusion algorithm for UAV trajectory planning is proposed.In combination with the Informed sampling strategy,the algorithm constrains the random points in the elliptic space,and improves the search efficiency.After the new algorithm finds the nearest node,the improved APF is introduced to generate high-quality new nodes.The target point and random sampling point are attractive to the nearest node of the growing tree,and the obstacle is repulsive to it.Then,the direction of resultant force is taken as the growth direction of the random tree to solve the problem of local minimum value and greatly decrease the convergence time.Compared with RRT* and Informed-RRT*,the new algorithm is superior and effective.

    To solve the problem of two-dimensional trajectory tracking of fixed-wing UAV under crosswind conditions,a trajectory tracking algorithm with adaptive guidance length is proposed based on nonlinear guidance law.Firstly,a kinematic model of the UAV after introducing wind disturbance is established,the nonlinear guidance law with a fixed guidance length is theoretically analyzed,and its wind resistance performance is discussed.Then,based on the performance and flight velocity of the UAV itself,a method of adaptive guidance length is proposed,and the side offset distance integral is introduced into the lateral acceleration command to offset the crosswind interference.To solve the problem that the trajectory error of the UAV is too large when the waypoint is switched,an arc waypoint switching strategy is designed.Finally,the numerical simulation is carried out in the case of crosswind interference.The results show that the method can effectively suppress crosswind interference,and has high tracking accuracy at waypoint switching.The precise tracking of the desired trajectory of the fixed-wing UAV under the condition of crosswind interference is realized.

    For the problem of UAV path planning in complex multi-obstacle environment,an algorithm based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) is proposed.Firstly,the stability of the algorithm is enhanced by unifying the obstacle environment modeling,optimizing the fitness function,and using chaotic particle initialization to diversify the particle swarm.Then,the acceleration constant of the traditional Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is replaced by the adaptive acceleration coefficient to avoid falling into local minimum,while improving the efficiency of the algorithm converging to the global optimal solution.Finally,the encoding method of the particle search trajectory in the traditional PSO is replaced by the encoding of UAV motion,which is used to improve the optimality of the solution and search for the optimal path solution.The simulation results show that the IPSO can effectively solve the problems of the traditional PSO in UAV path planning in the complex multi-obstacle environment.In comparison with Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO),Differential Evolution (DE),Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) and traditional PSO,the improved algorithm has significantly improved the path optimization accuracy and stability in different scenarios of static environments.In comparison with Dynamic Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO), the new algorithm can also be better adapted to the dynamic environment.

    Strong sea clutter is the interference term that has the greatest impact on the target detection performance of sea radar,and the performance of the existing single detection quantity and multi-feature joint detection algorithms is extremely unstable.To solve the above problems,a sea radar target detection algorithm based on clustering is proposed.The algorithm extracts three feature quantities,that is,Relative Amplitude Variance (RAV),Relative Average Power (RAP) and Relative Vector Entropy (RVE).The k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) algorithm in the clustering algorithm is modified to complete a kNN detector with controllable false alarm.In this feature space,the kNN detector is used to separate the target from clutters.The experimental results of measured radar data show that when the observation time is 0.512 s and 1.024 s, the average detection probability of this algorithm is 56.2% and 58.3% higher than that of the fractal based detector respectively (in HH polarization mode),and 29.2% and 31.3% higher than that of the three-feature-based detector respectively.It can be concluded that this algorithm can realize the sea radar target detection under complex sea conditions,and the detection effect is obviously better than that of the detector algorithm based on three features.

    A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image target classification method is proposed by combining Bi-dimensional Variational Mode Decomposition (BVMD) with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).The original SAR images are decomposed by BVMD into a series of modes,which reflects the global and detail information of the targets.Afterwards,a suitable CNN architecture is designed to classify different modes and output the posterior probability vectors.Then,those posterior probability vectors are fused by using the Bayesian theory.Finally,the target label is decided according to the fused probabilities.Through the combination of the advantages of BVMD and CNN,the proposed method improves the classification performance comprehensively.In the experiments,the proposed method is tested based on MSTAR dataset under four typical scenarios and compared with the existing methods.The results show the superiority of the proposed method.

    For most traditional defogging algorithms,there are problems such as color imbalance and low visibility after processing images.In this paper,a bilateral filtering transmittance optimization algorithm based on fog line priori is proposed.Firstly,the pixels are clustered into fog lines in RGB space,and the adaptive module is introduced to predict the atmospheric light value.Secondly,the transmittance of the image is preliminarily optimized according to the combination of atmospheric scattering model with context regularization.At the same time,the transmittance is corrected based on the minimum channel,which makes the transmittance map smoother and prevents the transmittance difference between adjacent depth-of-field areas from being too large.Then,the transmittance is optimized for the second time through bilateral filtering to make it more accurate.Moreover,the atmospheric light value and transmittance are input into the atmospheric scattering model for defogging to obtain a clear image.Finally,the defogged image is color-enhanced to improve the color authenticity and brightness of the image.The experimental results show that this method improves the subjective visual effect to the human eye.This method has significant advantages in the objective evaluation indicators such as Structural Similarity (SSIM),Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR),corner detection number,Universal Quality Index (UQI),Natural Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE) and processing time.

    Flight action recognition is of great significance to evaluate the quality of flight training and improve the pilots driving skills.In the flight action sequence data,the flight state data at a certain time and some flight parameter data corresponding to the state make a very important contribution to flight action recognition,but the traditional attention mechanism only focuses on the contribution value of the upper-layer state features and ignores the influence of the lower-layer features.In order to effectively extract the key feature representation of flight parameter data,the Focus Attention (FA) mechanism is proposed,which extends the traditional attention mechanism,further focuses attention and learns the contribution of its lower-layer features to the upper layer.At the same time,the FA mechanism is extended to the BiLSTM network and the FA-BiLSTM network model is proposed.The model not only focuses on the flight state data at the critical time in the flight action sequence,but also can learn the key flight parameter data in the flight state.Experiments show that this method effectively improves the accuracy of flight action recognition,and the weighted average accuracy reaches 94%.
