However, achieving optimal sensor deployment for time-of-arrival (TOA)-based localization is challenging due to the highly dynamic and stratified nature of the oceanic propagation environment. The uncertainty in target positions, compounded by measurement noise, hinders the performance of conventional location-based approaches in determining optimal sensor configurations. Moreover, the reliance on strict mathematical assumptions further limits the applicability of these techniques in practical, uncertain oceanic environments. To address these limitations, this study proposes a quantum-inspired optimal deployment framework for TOA-based localization in a three-dimensional, uncertain, and stratified oceanic environment. A mesh grid-based uncertainty mitigation strategy is introduced to estimate target locations under uncertainty. Incorporating Snell’s law and ray-tracing theory, a min-max optimization model is formulated based on the A-optimality criterion. To overcome restrictive analytical assumptions, a Quantum-Enhanced Sparrow Search Algorithm (QESSA) with multiple adaptive strategies is proposed to determine optimal sensor deployments.

In addition, we constructed a multi-view ship dataset, MULTI-SHIP, for training and validating the proposed model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that, compared with YOLOv8, TAD-YOLO improves the meanAverage Precision (mAP50-95) by 1.8 %, 1.9 %, and 3.5 % on the MULTI-SHIP, Seaships, and WSODD datasets, respectively, while reducing the number of parameters and GFLOPs by 30 % and 26 %. Moreover, it exhibits stronger robustness under various weather conditions. Finally, we deployed the model on a USV equipped with a Jetson Orin Nano Super platform and tested it on real images captured during actual USV operations.

Path planning and collision avoidance control serve as pivotal technologies for realizing autonomous navigation systems. This paper explores an integrated strategy for these critical components, addressing two key challenges: traditional path planners exhibit slow computation speeds, impeding rapid responses to environmental changes; and avoidance controllers based on dynamic constraints risk local optima. To resolve these issues, a parallel guidance and control framework is proposed, emphasizing real-time interaction between the avoidance controller and path planner. The avoidance controller uses local sensor data to manage immediate collision risks, while the path planner optimizes global path using updated state constraints. By integrating environmental awareness and kinematic information, this approach overcomes local optimization issues and dynamically adapts paths to reconcile planned trajectories with actual vessel dynamics. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces collision probabilities by aligning planned paths with real-time vessel positions and headings. This research enhances USV navigation reliability in complex water environments through integrated global planning and local reactive control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19403,"journal":{"name":"Ocean Engineering","volume":"341 ","pages":"Article 122533"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144996645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
