The Fr\'{e}chet distance is a well-studied similarity measure between curves that is widely used throughout computer science. Motivated by applications where curves stem from paths and walks on an underlying graph (such as a road network),…

We propose sublinear algorithms for probabilistic testing of the discrete and continuous Fr\'echet distance - a standard similarity measure for curves. We assume the algorithm is given access to the input curves via a query oracle: a query…

We study metric data structures for curves in doubling spaces, such as trajectories of moving objects in Euclidean $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the distance between two curves is measured using the discrete Fr\'echet distance. We design data…

The Fr\'echet distance is a popular distance measure between trajectories or curves in space, or between walks in graphs. We study computing the Fr\'echet distance between walks in the $d$-dimensional grid graphs, i.e. $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where…

Computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal curves takes roughly quadratic time. In this paper, we show that for a special class of curves the Fr\'echet distance computations become easier. Let $P$ and $Q$ be two polygonal curves…

In this paper we study a wide range of variants for computing the (discrete and continuous) Fr\'echet distance between uncertain curves. We define an uncertain curve as a sequence of uncertainty regions, where each region is a disk, a line…

The Fr\'echet distance is a distance measure between trajectories in $\Bbb{R}^d$ or walks in a graph $G$. Given constant-time shortest path queries, the Discrete Fr\'echet distance $D_G(P, Q)$ between two walks $P$ and $Q$ can be computed…

Given a curve $P$ with points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a streaming fashion, and parameters $\varepsilon>0$ and $k$, we construct a distance oracle that uses $O(\frac{1}{\varepsilon})^{kd}\log\varepsilon^{-1}$ space, and given a query curve $Q$…

All known algorithms for the Fr\'echet distance between curves proceed in two steps: first, they construct an efficient oracle for the decision version; second, they use this oracle to find the optimum from a finite set of critical values.…

The similarity of two polygonal curves can be measured using the Fr\'echet distance. We introduce the notion of a more robust Fr\'echet distance, where one is allowed to shortcut between vertices of one of the curves. This is a natural…
