The Nautical δ-Corridor: A Connectivity-Preserving, Depth-Admissible Navigation Corridor for Autonomous Ship Navigation
Autonomous ships must show not only that their planned track is safe, but that the water they may need for an evasive manoeuvre is safe as well. This paper develops the nautical δ-corridor: a bounded, connected region of navigable water around a reference track on a bathymetric occupancy grid, in which the obstacle set...
