Figure 1. Distances between two locations (blue circles).

Figure 1

(A) The Euclidean distance corresponds to the straight line between two places and does not consider terrain characteristics as road network and obstacles, (B) the least-cost distance takes into account the terrain conductance associated, in this case,with travelling time to determine the optimal (least costly) pathway, (C) the resistance distance integrates multiple pathways using the conductance.
