With the increasing demand for marine monitoring, use of coverage path planning based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images to assist multiple surface vehicles (USVs) has shown great potential in applications. However, achieving accurate map modeling and optimal are still key challenges that restrict its widespread application. To this end, an innovative algorithm UAV-assisted USVs is proposed. First, a semantic segmentation YOLOv5-assisted prompting segment anything model (SAM) designed establish model. By refining axial, length, width, coordinate information obstacles, enables YOLOv5 generate object bounding box prompts then assists SAM automatically accurately extracting obstacles coastlines complex scenes. Based model, multi-objective stepwise optimization further The divides complete into two parts, straight paths turning paths, both length number turns designed, respectively, optimize each type step by step, which significantly improves effect. Experiments prove various scenarios, proposed achieves 100% coverage, redundancy rate less than 2%, it superior existing advanced algorithms turns. This research provides feasible technical solution efficient tasks lays foundation supervision.

This paper investigates a Terminal Line-of-Sight Angle-Constrained Target Tracking Guidance (TLATT) for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). Dynamic target tracking technology has wide application potential in fields such as maritime rescue, countering illegal fishing, border and coastal defense. These tasks always necessitate the USVs intercepting with specified (LOS) angle. In majority of existing moving methodologies, constraints associated terminal LOS angle have not been comprehensively studied. Addressing these issues, guidance, constrained by angle, is presented to guide defender specific direction. context general problem, definitions errors precisely explained within inertial frame. Then, relative acceleration derived employing back-stepping mathematical induction. The course control strategy, formulated incorporating both distance into acceleration, developed horizontal plane. Distinct from approaches that employ switching logics satisfy constraints, our proposed guidance integrates unified framework, resulting enhanced accuracy robustness dynamic scenarios. results simulations indicate method can successfully restrain distances decrease. effectiveness verified via experimental results.
