Abstract:We propose a new effective method of finding the minimal geodesic path in a 2D environment with polygonal obstacles. We describe continuous solution that uses visibility graph for polygonal obstacles. The problem of binary image vectorization and approximation is solved with a controlled accuracy. GPU computation is used to speed up the calculations.
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.
