Abstract:

Fast Marching Methods are numerical schemes for computing solutions to the non-linear Eikonal equation and related static HamiltonJacobi equations. Based on entropy-satisfying upwind schemes and fast sorting techniques, they yield consistent, accurate, and highly ecient algorithms. They are optimal in the sense that the computational complexity of the algorithms is O(N log N), where N is the total number of points in the domain. The schemes are of use in a variety of applications, including problems in shape osetting, computing distances from complex curves and surfaces, shape-from-shading, photolithographic development, computing rst arrivals in seismic travel times, construction of shortest geodesics on surfaces, optimal path planning around obstacles, and visibility and re ection calculations. In this paper, we review the development of these techniques, including the theoretical and numerical underpinnings, provide details of the computational schemes including higher order versions, and demonstrate the techniques in a collection of dierent areas.
