Use and interaction of navigation strategies in regionalized environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, three experiments are reported that studied the use and interaction of navigation strategies both during the learning of a virtual environment and during subsequent route planning tasks. Special interest concerned the role of regions within the environments. Results from Experiment 1 suggest that the regions are perceived and encoded in spatial memory very early during the process of learning an environment. During navigation such regional information could be used to overcome missing or imprecise spatial information on the detailed level. Experiments 2 and 3 studied the use and interaction of route planning strategies that are applied after an environment has been learned. Results suggest (i) that human route planning takes into account regionconnectivity and is not based on place-connectivity alone, (ii) that route planning takes into account the distribution of multiple target locations and (iii) that route planning takes into account the complexity of alternative paths. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملTowards a Cognitive Model for Human Wayfinding Behavior in Regionalized Environments
Human wayfinding operates very very differently from traditional deterministic algorithms owing to a) restrictions in working memory resulting in subjective regionalized maps, and b) flexible adoption of different navigation strategies. While a number of cognitive strategies have been proposed for human wayfinding, these have been hard to evaluate thoroughly owing to a lack of computational sim...
متن کاملGPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...
