Comprehensive performance evaluation and three-dimensional UAV trajectory path planning under multiple constraints

Published on 2026-06-25 by @OXFORD

Abstract: AbstractThe Kepler Optimization Algorithm (KOA), as a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, has demonstrated promising performance in various optimization tasks. However, its performance is still constrained by slow convergence speed, limited convergence accuracy, and an imbalance between exploration and exploitation capabilities. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a multi-strategy improved Kepler Optimization Algorithm, termed the Sophisticated Policies-based Kepler Optimi[...]


Our summary: The paper introduces the Sophisticated Policies-based Kepler Optimization Algorithm (SPKOA) to enhance the original Kepler Optimization Algorithm. SPKOA employs techniques such as Latin Hypercube Sampling and a dynamic Lévy flight mechanism to improve exploration and exploitation balance. Experimental results indicate that SPKOA outperforms existing algorithms in both optimization accuracy and three-dimensional UAV path planning under complex constraints.
