摘要： The present disclosure provides a map optimization method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium. Here, the map optimization method includes: obtaining an original map, the original map including an explore zone, a covered zone, an obstacle zone; determining and deleting an error zone from the explore zone in view of the covered zone and the obstacle zone. According to the technical solution of the present disclosure, in view of points in zones of different properties in the original map, and the localization principle, an error zone is determined and deleted from the original map, thereby realizing the optimization of the original map, such that the optimized map is closer to the actual map. This enables the autonomous mobile device to execute tasks more efficiently based on the optimized map.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a method for stochastic inspections on power grid lines based on unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted edge computing. According to the method, a stochastic distributed inspection unmanned aerial vehicle is adopted to acquire video images on a target power grid area, which can reduce funds and time costs of inspections. With assistance of superior unmanned aerial vehicle, a goal is to minimize energy consumption of an unmanned aerial vehicle system and extend operation time of the unmanned aerial vehicles under same payload conditions, while processing video image data collected from the inspection unmanned aerial vehicles. The near-far effect generated by communications between mobile unmanned aerial vehicles is eliminated by introducing a NOMA, and position coordinates, system resource allocations and task offload decision schemes are solved by using a method of combining a DDPG algorithm in a Deep reinforcement learning with a genetic algorithm.
