- 按PRISMA框架筛选2015-2026年文献,聚焦覆盖最大化与能耗平衡

基于无人飞行器(UAV)的环境监测需要在能量限制、操作约束和几何复杂性下实现最大覆盖范围的路径规划。本文报告了针对自主无人机覆盖导向环境监测路径规划的系统文献回顾(SLR)的研究协议及初步结果。该回顾遵循PRISMA 2020框架,在Scopus与Web of Science中检索2015至2026年间发表的研究。重点涵盖路径规划、覆盖路径规划与信息路径规划,关注算法类别、覆盖与能耗指标、障碍物处理、环境几何表示及环境约束。目前共识别562条记录,剔除161条重复后,对401条唯一记录进行标题、摘要与关键词筛选。其中247项进入全文评估阶段(235项合格,12项边界情况待定)。初步分析显示,研究高度集中于覆盖导向建模、多无人机协同与能耗感知优化,但显式考虑天气、不确定性或障碍密集环境的论文较少。多数研究依赖仿真验证,凸显潜在的仿真到现实差距;近年研究呈现对强化学习、混合优化与几何感知规划的兴趣上升。早期发现表明该领域活跃但分散,亟需结构化整合以识别成熟技术与未解难题,为真实环境监测任务提供支持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Environmental monitoring with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires route planning methods that maximize covered area while handling energy limits, operational constraints, and geometric complexity. This paper reports the protocol and preliminary results of an ongoing systematic literature review (SLR) on autonomous UAV route planning for coverage-oriented environmental monitoring. The review follows the PRISMA 2020 framework and searches Scopus and Web of Science for studies published between 2015 and 2026. The protocol focuses on path planning, coverage path planning, and informative path planning, with emphasis on algorithmic families, coverage and energy metrics, obstacle handling, geometric environment representations, and environmental constraints. At the current stage, 562 records have been identified, 161 duplicates have been removed, and 401 unique records have been screened by title, abstract, and keywords. From these, 247 studies were retained for full-text eligibility assessment (235 eligible and 12 borderline records to be resolved during full-text review). A preliminary analysis of the retained studies suggests strong concentration on coverage-oriented formulations, multi-UAV coordination, and energy-aware optimization, while fewer studies explicitly address weather, uncertainty, or obstacle-rich environments. Most retained studies rely on simulation-based validation, highlighting a potential simulation-to-reality gap, and recent publications show increasing interest in reinforcement learning, hybrid optimization, and geometry-aware planning. These early findings indicate an active but fragmented research landscape and support the need for a structured synthesis to identify mature techniques and unresolved gaps for realistic environmental monitoring missions.
