In this work, we first formulate the inspection path planning problem as an extended travelling salesman problem (TSP) in which both the coverage and obstacle avoidance were taken into account. An enhanced discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm is then proposed to solve the TSP, with performance improvement by using deterministic initialization, random mutation, and edge exchange. Finally, we take advantage of parallel computing to implement the DPSO in a GPU-based framework so that the computation time can be significantly reduced while keeping the hardware requirement unchanged. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, experimental results are included for datasets obtained from UAV inspection of an office building and a bridge. date: 2017 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0926580517303825 id_number: 10.1016/j.autcon.2017.04.013 full_text_status: public publication: Automation in Construction volume: 81 pagerange: 25-33 refereed: TRUE issn: 0926-5805 projects: QG.16.29 citation: Phung, Manh Duong and Quach, Cong Hoang and Dinh, Tran Hiep and Quang, Ha (2017) Enhanced discrete particle swarm optimization path planning for UAV vision-based surface inspection.
