Path Planning above a Polyhedral Terrain
— We consider the problem of path planning above a polyhedral terrain and present a new algorithm that for any p ≥ 1, computes a (c + ε)-approximation to the Lp-shortest path ...

Flying over a polyhedral terrain
We consider the problem of computing shortest paths in three-dimensions in the presence of a single-obstacle polyhedral terrain, and present a new algorithm that for any p 1, comp...

New results on shortest paths in three dimensions
We revisit the problem of computing shortest obstacle-avoiding paths among obstacles in three dimensions. We prove new hardness results, showing, e.g., that computing Euclidean sh...

Smugglers and border guards: the GeoStar project at RPI
We present the GeoStar project at RPI, which researches various terrain (i.e., elevation) representations and operations thereon. This work is motivated by the large amounts of hi...

Flying Fast and Low Among Obstacles
— Safe autonomous flight is essential for widespread acceptance of aircraft that must fly close to the ground. We have developed a method of collision avoidance that can be use...
