Automatic route planning for GPS art generation

In this paper, we present a novel approach for the automated route generation of global positioning system (GPS) artwork. The term GPS artwork describes the generation of drawings by leaving virtual traces on digital maps. Until now, a creation of these images has required a manual planning phase in which the artists design the route by hand. Once the route for this artwork has been planned, GPS devices have been used to track the movement. Using the presented solution, the lengthy planning phase can be significantly shortened and art creation is open to a broader public.
