- I have been reading a few papers in segmentation of environments
- into regions. Apparently, this is done by humans to create cognitive
- maps of some areas. These regions in turn, form part of a hierarchy.
-
- Here is my question, What are the advantages of using a hierarchy
- to subdivide an environment? Are there any computational advantages?
