An Approximate Path Finding Algorithm for Bridging Special Obstacles

This paper presents an algorithm, which is used to find the shortest path between two given nodes in a grid with sparse polygon obstacles. Among these obstacles some of them may be bridged. The algorithm executes the search using a “don't change direction” heuristic along the line towards the t...
