Mountain biodiversity is under unprecedented threat due to climate change and excessive human activity. Although protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstone of nature conservation, it increasingly hard for isolated PAs maintain species ecological processes they depend on in long term. Linking reserves form a large connected conservation network regarded as optimal measure, but research this field...

Abstract Management of animal populations requires spatially explicit knowledge movement corridors, such as those used during seasonal migrations. Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking data allow for mapping corridors from directly observed movements, but are absent many populations. We developed a novel statistical corridor modelling approach that predicts cost‐distance models fit to migrat...

This paper presents a new robot navigation system that can operate on a sketch floor map provided by a user. This sketch map is similar to floor plans as shown at the entrance of buildings, which does not contain accurate metric information and details such as obstacles. The system enables a user to give navigational instructions to a robot by interactively providing a floor map and pointing ou...

In this paper we address the problem of finding paths for small groups of characters in an urban environment taking tactical information into account. This approach presents a way to plan the paths using an existing road map and extending this to a network of corridors. The road map is searched for a globally useful path, after which the corresponding corridors are traversed to find a tacticall...
