An Algorithm to Find the Shortest Path through Obstacles of Arbitrary Shapes and Positions in 2D by Gilles Labonté

“…It has the appreciable advantage of not having to find mathematical formulas to represent the obstacles: it works directly with a digital image of the terrain and is implemented solely with standard graphical functions. Key to this algorithm is the definition of digraphs, the edges of which are built with obstacle bitangents and border enveloping convex arcs that incorporate the fundamental features of shortest paths. …”
