Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating and presenting off-road travel routes based on terrain and obstruction analysis. The method includes a Threat Analyzer () for assessing threats that may impede progress, a Graph Builder () for constructing a graph representing an individual's environment, a Route Generator () for generating a route that avoids the threats, and a Route Presenter () for guiding the individual along the route. The Threat Analyzer () includes an Obstruction Analyzer () for detecting obstructions in aerial imagery. The Graph Builder () includes a Cost Evaluator () that takes into account traversal speeds for individuals across various types of terrain. The Route Presenter () overlays the route on aerial imagery and provides real-time guidance as the individual traverses the route.
