This paper presents an improved ant colony algorithm for the path planning of the omnidirectional mobile vehicle. The purpose of the improved ant colony algorithm is to design an appropriate route to connect the starting point and ending point of the environment with obstacles. Ant colony algorithm, which is used to solve the path planning problem, is improved according to the characteristics of the omnidirectional mobile vehicle. And in the improved algorithm, the nonuniform distribution of the initial pheromone and the selection strategy with direction play a very positive role in the path search. The coverage and updating strategy of pheromone is introduced to avoid repeated search reducing the effect of the number of ants on the performance of the algorithm. In addition, the pheromone evaporation coefficient is segmented and adjusted, which can effectively balance the convergence speed and search ability. Finally, this paper provides a theoretical basis for the improved ant colony algorithm by strict mathematical derivation, and some numerical simulations are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) plays an irreplaceable role in the field of artificial intelligence. The traditional visual SLAM algorithm is stable assuming a static environment, but has lower robustness and accuracy in dynamic scenes, which affects its localization accuracy. To address this problem, a semantic SLAM system is proposed that incorporates ORB-SLAM3, semantic segmentation thread and geometric thread, namely DeepLabv3 + _SLAM. The improved DeepLabv3 + semantic segmentation network combines context information to segment potential a priori dynamic objects. Then, the geometry thread uses a multi-view geometry method to detect the motion state information of the dynamic object. Finally, a new ant colony strategy is proposed to find the group of all dynamic feature points through the optimal path, and avoids traversing all the feature points to reduce the dynamic object detection time and improve the real-time performance of the system. By conducting experiments on public data sets, the results show that the method proposed in this paper effectively improves the positioning accuracy of the system in a high-dynamic environment compared with similar algorithms, and the real-time performance of the system is improved.INDEX TERMS DeepLabv3 + _SLAM, semantic, high-dynamic environment, new ant colony strategy.
