Abstract
A system for generating a path for navigating an environment, the system comprising a bounding volume hierarchy, BVH, generation unit operable to generate a BVH comprising a plurality of bounding volumes representing one or more objects in the environment, a BVH analysis unit operable to identify information about the geometry of the environment from the BVH, and a path planning unit operable to generate a path through the environment in dependence upon the identified geometry.
