An overview of path tortuosity measures for tracking and monitoring
Adam Li, Shahram Payandeh · 2016
This paper presents an overview of various paradigms which were used in order to define and measure path tortuosity. The paper further explores various aspects from each measure in order to form a basis for a general set of rules and methodologies. These can then be utilized and compared in various tracking and monitoring applications. Through literature review, an overview of a number of applications which tortuosity can occur are defined. This combined with definitions of various measures, the paper establishes a clear approach in regard to various advantages and disadvantages of these measures. Through example simulations, the paper demonstrates sample measurements of path tortuosity.
