Path planning process. The process begins with interpretation of the map image. The target is identified on the basis of predetermined criteria. The next obstacles are identified, and the result is an image that is segmented into target, obstacle, near obstacle (unsafe zone), and safe zones. A series of potential paths are generated. Finally, rules are used to select the optimal path.
