Resumen
Adaptive sampling of the marine environment may improve the accuracy of marine numerical prediction models. This study considered adaptive sampling path optimization for a three-dimensional (3D) marine observation platform, leading to a path-planning strategy based on evolutionary deep reinforcement learning. The low sampling efficiency of the reinforcement learning algorithm is improved by evolutionary learning. The combination of these two components as a new algorithm has become a current research trend. We first combined the evolutionary algorithm with different reinforcement learning algorithms to verify the effectiveness of the combination of algorithms with different strategies. Experimental results indicate that the fusion of the two algorithms based on a maximum-entropy strategy is more effective for adaptive sampling using a 3D marine observation platform. Data assimilation experiments indicate that adaptive sampling data from a 3D mobile observation platform based on evolutionary deep reinforcement learning improves the accuracy of marine environment numerical prediction systems.
