-This paper proposes a modified version of the Fast Marching Method (FMM), called Fat Fast Marching Method (FFMM), which produces a much more accurate path than the path generated by the original FMM with the approximated ODE solution. Given a complicated environment which has a long optimal path and a very large maximum cost value that results in high gradients, FFMM is faster than FMM. Furthermore, the tree structure result, a TP diagram of FFMM with path recovery rules, makes dynamic path planning of pursuit-evasion problems possible. By providing the shortest path produced by the path recovery rules in every time slot and the avoidance of re-planning in most situations, the pursuer now has a greater chance to intercept the evader in real time spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
