Abstract:
Navigation systems and methods are provided. A classifier is configured to transform a received image of a terrain into a classified image in which patches of pixels from the received image are represented as being in one of a specified number of material classes, each associated with respective terrain parameters. A physical traversability module is configured to determine, for the material parameters, a terrain topography and given vehicle parameters, a degree of traversability of the vehicle through the terrain as represented by the received image, to yield a traversability map. A routing module is configured to derive traversability measure(s) for route(s) through the classified image and with respect to the traversability map, between a given origin and a given destination or within a region with respect to a user-defined mission. A graphical user interface is configured to display the route(s) according to the traversability measure(s).

Claim (Index 6):
A navigation method through a terrain, the method comprising:\n transforming a terrain-related data into a classified representation of the terrain in terms of a specified number of material classes, wherein each material class being associated with respective material parameters; generating, based on the classified representation of the terrain, a terrain topography and given vehicle dynamic parameters, and using a predetermined vehicle physical dynamic model comprising vehicle behavior patterns associated with the material parameters, a degree of physical traversability of the vehicle through the terrain, to yield a vectorial dynamic physical traversability map of the terrain comprising physical traversability measures of specific points or regions in the terrain in different directions and further comprising possible movement directions and possible directions of approach and departure of the vehicle at the specific points or regions and along the specific regions thereof; deriving, based on the vectorial dynamic physical traversability map of the terrain, at least one traversability measure for at least one route through the terrain between a given origin and a given destination, and applying a full physical simulation of a vehicle's motion to the whole at least one route and further providing a route information concerning the physicality of the vehicle's motion along the at least one route based on the given vehicle dynamic parameters, the terrain topography, the classified representation of the terrain and using the predetermined vehicle physical dynamic model.
