From Pixels to Paths: How to Implement Shortest Path Algorithms on Sea-Ice Raster Data
Unlock Arctic trade routes by converting Sea-Ice GeoTIFFs into routable network graphs. Learn the Python pipeline for POLARIS risk modeling, A* pathfinding, and handling 16-million-node grids. The “Shortest Path” Fallacy in Polar Navigation In standard logistics, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. In the Arctic, a straight line is a disaster…
