A Novel Second-Order Scheme for the Multi-Stencil Fast Marching Method
A paper entitled "A Second Order Multi-Stencil Fast Marching Method With a Non-Constant Local Cost Model" has been recently published in the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing. The proposed scheme has been applied to optimal course planning of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a flooding episode, and achieves better tradeoff between the distance travelled by the UAV and the amount of visited flooded land than previous state-of-the-art schemes of the Fast Marching method.
