Pathfinding in Open Terrain

چکیده
Pathfinding involves solving a planning problem with agents seeking optimal paths from a start state to a goal state. The pathfinding process involves utilizing the full state space information available to agents to find the least expensive route to the goal. However most solutions to the pathfinding problem have solely focused on using graph based terrain representations and graph search algorithms to obtain a path. This paper replaces part of the search with a direct geometrical solution. We provide some preliminary indication of the potential merit of the approach.

Real-Time Pathfinding in Unknown Terrain via Reconnection with an Ideal Tree
In real-time pathfinding in unknown terrain an agent is required to solve a pathfinding problem by alternating a time-bounded deliberation phase with an action execution phase. Real-time heuristic search algorithms are designed for general search applications with time constraints but unfortunately in pathfinding they are known to produce poor-quality solutions. In this paper we propose p-FRITR...

متن کاملDHPA* and SHPA*: Efficient Hierarchical Pathfinding in Dynamic and Static Game Worlds
In 2004, Botea et al. published the HPA* algorithm (Hierarchical Pathfinding A*), which is the first detailed study of hierarchical pathfinding in games. However, HPA* can be optimized. In this paper, we introduce the DHPA* and SHPA* hierarchical pathfinding algorithms, along with a metric for comparing the dynamic performance of pathfinding algorithms in games. We show that DHPA* searches up t...

متن کاملApplication of the Laminar Navier-Stokes Equations for Solving 2D and 3D Pathfinding Problems with Static and Dynamic Spatial Constraints: Implementation and Validation in Comsol Multiphysics
Pathfinding problems consist in determining the optimal shortest path, or at least one path, between two points in the space. In this paper, we propose a particular approach, based on methods used in Computational Fluid Dynamics, that intends to solve such problems. In particular, we reformulate pathfinding problems as the motion of a viscous fluid via the use of the laminar Navier-Stokes equat...
