I just updated the servers http://magicshop.cloudapp.net with a new build. I apologize that I had to take down the servers for a few minutes during the upgrade.
>From Ido:
OK, like everything in IDF (Israeli army) the algorithm has three parts:
1. Pre-processing - creating road probability map based on the user's clicks and a prior.
2. Computing shortest path (Dijkstra)
3. Post-processing - smoothing the path.
Changes are:
a. I sped things up (mainly by doing some of the calculations in lower resolution, and simplifying the flow/removing redundant modules) [affects stages 1&3]
b. I added a module that creates "shortcuts" along ridges in the road probability map (might introduce a minor performance improvement, but mainly makes sure the road won't wander off too often) [mainly affects stage 1 (and maybe a tiny little bit of 2)]
c. I added a simple junction detector that occasionally finds a junction (and forces a node) [affects stage 3]
Ido
I also added debugging code. We have had a few crashes down in the processing code which leads to an occasional 503 from the web site. I have modified the service to record the url when this happens so we can hopefully track it down.
Thanks,
J.M.
