Minimum cost routes calculation by means of digital elevation models

Year: 1990

Type: article

Abstract: This work deals with the calculation of minimum energy routes based on data extracted from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The cost is a function of the terrain slope, and path distance. In order to keep the computer (IBM-PC-XT-like)time within reasonable limits, instead of a real terrain, it was used a synthetic model. On a personal workstation a larger set of data can be used. As conclusion it was seen that it is possible to use personal computers for these time consuming calculations, and graphically display the results.
