  2. A* search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm

    Dijkstra's algorithm, as another example of a uniform-cost search algorithm, can be viewed as a special case of A* where ⁠ = ⁠ for all x. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] General depth-first search can be implemented using A* by considering that there is a global counter C initialized with a very large value.

  3. Any-angle path planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Any-angle_path_planning

    Any-angle path planning algorithms are pathfinding algorithms that search for a Euclidean shortest path between two points on a grid map while allowing the turns in the path to have any angle. The result is a path that cuts directly through open areas and has relatively few turns. [ 1 ]

  4. Celestial cartography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_cartography

    Celestial cartography, [1] uranography, [2] [3] astrography or star cartography [citation needed] is the aspect of astronomy and branch of cartography concerned with mapping stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects on the celestial sphere. Measuring the position and light of charted objects requires a variety of instruments and techniques.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_navigation

    A diagram of a typical nautical sextant, a tool used in celestial navigation to measure the angle between two objects viewed by means of its optical sight. Celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation, is the practice of position fixing using stars and other celestial bodies that enables a navigator to accurately determine their actual current physical position in space or on the ...

  6. Rapidly exploring random tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidly_exploring_random_tree

    A rapidly exploring random tree (RRT) is an algorithm designed to efficiently search nonconvex, high-dimensional spaces by randomly building a space-filling tree.The tree is constructed incrementally from samples drawn randomly from the search space and is inherently biased to grow towards large unsearched areas of the problem.

  7. Isomap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomap

    Isomap is used for computing a quasi-isometric, low-dimensional embedding of a set of high-dimensional data points. The algorithm provides a simple method for estimating the intrinsic geometry of a data manifold based on a rough estimate of each data point’s neighbors on the manifold. Isomap is highly efficient and generally applicable to a ...

  8. Star chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_chart

    A celestial map by the Dutch cartographer Frederik de Wit, 1670. A star chart is a celestial map of the night sky with astronomical objects laid out on a grid system. They are used to identify and locate constellations, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and planets. [1] They have been used for human navigation since time immemorial. [2]

  9. Space mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_mapping

    The space mapping concept has been extended to neural-based space mapping for large-signal statistical modeling of nonlinear microwave devices. [9] [10] Space mapping is supported by sound convergence theory and is related to the defect-correction approach. [11] A 2016 state-of-the-art review is devoted to aggressive space mapping. [12]
