Coverage Strategy for Target Location in Marine Environments Using Fixed-Wing UAVs

In this paper, we propose a coverage method for the search of lost targets or debris on ocean surface. The OSCAR data set is used to determine marine currents and differential evolution genetic filter optimize sweep direction lawnmower get angle maximum probability containment. position target determined by particle filter, where particles are moved final probabilistic distribution obtained fitting positions Gaussian distribution. algorithm then that covers highest containment cells before less probable ones. tested with variety parameters compared other popular optimization algorithms.
