Abstract

The aim of this research is oriented to the development of a modeling pathway between verbal route descriptions made in natural environment and geo-referenced information. The objective is to identify a conceptual and structural relationship between a navigation description and a spatial representation. The approach is experimented in the context of foot orienteering. The experimental results obtained have supported derivation of a logical model of navigation knowledge in natural environments. The model developed is based on actions and landmarks. The results are compared to similar studies made in urban environments. On top of the proposed model, we introduce an ant colony based algorithm whose objective is to geo-localize routes described in natural environment. A prototype validates the approach and shows that the algorithm performs with acceptable computing time, and that it provides acceptable solutions.
