Efficient Proximity Queries on Simplified Height Maps
Summary: Proposes height-map simplification to accelerate shortest-path proximity queries on 3D surfaces. Compared with point-cloud and TIN baselines, simplification yields speedups, and proximity queries on simplified map run up to 5x/1,340x faster <=10% error. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
