2
Shortest paths among polygonal obstacles
Input: A set of h polygonal obstacles with a total of n vertices, and two points s and t Output: A shortest path from s to t that avoids the obstacles t free space s obstacle
3
Shortest path queries Build a shortest path map (SPM), such that for any query point t, compute the shortest path from s to t t t t s obstacle
4
Our problem: the L1 version
L1 shortest path: a path with minimum L1 distance The path can be arbitrarily polygonal But the distance is measured by L1 metric vertical distance e horizontal distance The L1 distance of e = the horizontal distance + the vertical distance
5
Previous work (a single shortest path)
Studied by Clarkson, Lee, Kapoor, Widmayer, Wu, Wong, Vaidya, Chen, Klenk, Tu, Inkulu, etc. O(nlogn) time and O(n) space, Mitchell 92’ O(T+n+hlogh) time and O(n) space, Chen and Wang 11’ T = O(n+hlog1+εh) : the time for triangulating the free space, Bar-Yehuda and Chazelle, 94’
6
Previous work and our new result (shortest path queries)
Mitchell 92’ Time for building an SPM: O(nlogn) Space: O(n) Query time: O(k+logn) k: the number of edges of the path Our new result (in this talk) Time for building an SPM: O(T+n+hlogh) O(n+hlog h) time, if a triangulation is given
7
More… Our algorithm runs in Θ(T) time Why?
building an SPM is equivalent to triangulating the free space Why? Lower bound: T=Ω(n+hlogh) Given a triangulation, build an SPM in O(n+hlogh) time Given an SPM obtain a triangulation in O(n) time
8
Our approach (previous work)
Reduce the problem to the convex case where all obstacles are convex Solve the convex case O(n+hlogh) time and O(n) space an SPM is also built Open: Building an SPM for the general (non-convex) problem the key: solving a sub-problem optimally
9
The key sub-problem a shortest path from s to t s c r t P
The green region is the Voronoi region of r, denoted by VR(r) d
10
The key sub-problem Each site has a weight : the length of
the L1 shortest path from s to it c Goal: Compute the L1 geodesic Voronoi diagram for the sites that influence P only through cd, or compute the Voronoi region for each site P N: the number of vertices of P M: the number of red sites d
11
Difficulties How to handle the interactions of the bisectors? c
Goal: building the SPM in O(n+hlogh) time Goal for solving the sub-problem: O(M+N) time P d
12
The standard approaches
O((N+M)log(N+M)) overall O(nlogn) time Continuous Dijkstra paradigm Sweeping Divide-and-conquer Our approach: incremental O(N+M)
13
Bisectors of two weighted sites
middle segment A bisector: a middle segment, and two half-lines, vertical or horizontal
14
Our algorithm Order the sites r1, r2, … rm by
the sub-segments of cd contained in their cells from c to d r1 c r2 r3 P r4 d
15
Obtaining the rays r1 c r2 Middle segments must appear in the Voronoi
diagram r3 P r4 r5 d
16

22
