Abstract

An optimized coverage-path planning method for a single unmanned surface mapping vessel (USMV) is implemented with a system including a computer processor executing a computer program loaded in a storage device and implanting the method. The method includes rasterizing and initializing an environmental map, and an unmanned vessel outputting position data and obstacle data according to the environmental map so that path planning is started to provide a target point to the unmanned vessel. In case of tripping in a local optimum at a current-level map for the target point, the map level is updated in an ascending order until the highest level, in order to identify a map level in which the target point is found.
