Last-mile Drone Precision Delivery and Distribution Model for Port Cities
As the lack of research on scenario-specific characteristics of logistics drones,a last-mile drone model is proposed for application in southwest region,particularly in suburban and rural areas with hilly and mountainous terrains.For the needs of delivery process,the proposed dual-objective model introduces a"path planning+image registration delivery"approach.To ensure flight safety,the model uses the A*algorithm and ground hazard zone classification for"jumping"path planning strategy.The"template+SURF"algorithm is employed for quick localization and efficient unloading.The proposed path planning model has been validated through tests in real scenarios while avoiding the fire hazard area.It demonstrates a more than 50%improvement in efficiency compared to manual delivery.The proposed model can achieve 88%alignment accuracy with 14%of power consumption,which is 7%higher than the traditional SIFT algorithm in terms of power consumption and 57%higher in terms of accuracy.Compared with the Desnet algorithm,it is 18%lower in terms of power consumption and 7%lower in terms of accuracy.The designed system can greatly improve the distribution and delivery accuracy of logistics UAVs in hilly and mountainous areas,as well as in areas with a high degree of housing similarity.
