Abstract :
Automated route planning over digital synthetic terrain is of importance to systems involving simulated human entities. Using a route planner whose sole criteria is minimizing distance and elevation change, we analyze the effects of terrain resolution on path quality, and compare human and computer generated paths. We conclude that with some measures, the computer generated route plans are reasonably difficult to distinguish from human generated plans.<>
