Bachelor’s Thesis on Efficient Least-Cost Path Modelling

How can large topographic datasets be reduced while still producing realistic least-cost paths? In her Bachelor’s thesis, HESCOR research assistant Lena Perlberg explores how wavelet-based compression can be combined with graph-based routing to enable more realistic and computationally efficient least-cost path analyses.
