While the use of remotely controlled UAV reduces the rate of human casualties in hazardous environments, it is reported that most of UAV accidents are caused by human factor errors. Automated path planning is required and because of the multi-objective nature of UAV's missions, several heuristic approaches to path planning have been proposed in order to automate UAV's navigation. While solving multi-objective problems requires the search for a set of pareto-optimal points, it requires the involvement of the user to select the desired result from the solution space. In this paper, we propose a variant of Self-Organizing Map approach to finding a compromised solution for a multi-objective path planning problem that does not require user involvement. Preliminary tests conducted in virtual environments have shown the immunity of our algorithm to local minima, and its efficiency to respond to multiple objectives. © 2012 IEEE. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84876065766&doi=10.1109%2fICARCV.2012.6485293&partnerID=40&md5=7ac49f5cb8371641567fefe19028855f id_number: 10.1109/ICARCV.2012.6485293 full_text_status: none publication: 2012 12th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, ICARCV 2012 place_of_pub: Guangzhou pagerange: 995-1000 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467318716 citation: Pierre, D.M. and Zakaria, N. and Pal, A.J.
