Abstract

To address the issues of excessive inflection points and long planning times in paths generated by the Fast Marching Tree (FMT*) algorithm due to redundant exploration, this paper proposes an Ellipse Constraints FMT* (EC-FMT*) algorithm. The EC-FMT* algorithm first introduces ellipse constraints to limit the exploration range of the algorithm and incorporates a direct connection strategy to minimize unnecessary searches, thereby shortening the path planning time. To tackle the problem of numerous inflection points, the algorithm employs a parent node reselection strategy to refine the path and eliminate unnecessary turns. Simulation experiments show that when the number of sampling points is 1000, 1500, and 2000, respectively, the EC-FMT* algorithm achieves significant reductions in average planning time compared to FMT*, RRT*, and APF-Dynamic FMT*, ranging from 81.9% to 84.72%, 86.15% to 89.78%, and 77.12% to 85.76%. Additionally, the number of inflection points is also reduced. Furthermore, the EC-FMT* algorithm reduces the number of iterations by 84.72% to 87.03% compared to FMT* and by 80.89% to 85.55% compared to APF-Dynamic FMT*. These results demonstrate that the EC-FMT* algorithm effectively mitigates redundant exploration, shortens path planning time, and enhances path quality.
