The Hausdorff distance is a measure of (dis-)similarity between two sets which is widely used in various applications. Most of the applied literature is devoted to the computation for sets consisting of a finite number of points. This has…

We consider the directed Hausdorff distance between point sets in the plane, where one or both point sets consist of imprecise points. An imprecise point is modelled by a disc given by its centre and a radius. The actual position of an…

Computing the similarity of two point sets is a ubiquitous task in medical imaging, geometric shape comparison, trajectory analysis, and many more settings. Arguably the most basic distance measure for this task is the Hausdorff distance,…

The Hausdorff distance (HD) is a robust measure of set dissimilarity, but computing it exactly on large, high-dimensional datasets is prohibitively expensive. We propose \textbf{ProHD}, a projection-guided approximation algorithm that…

We show that the Hausdorff distance for two sets of non-intersecting line segments can be computed in parallel in $O(\log^2 n)$ time using O(n) processors in a CREW-PRAM computation model. We discuss how some parts of the sequential…

The Hausdorff distance is a fundamental measure for comparing sets of vectors, widely used in database theory and geometric algorithms. However, its exact computation is computationally expensive, often making it impractical for large-scale…

The Hausdorff distance is a relatively new measure of similarity of graphs. The notion of the Hausdorff distance considers a special kind of a common subgraph of the compared graphs and depends on the structural properties outside of the…

We study edit distance computation with preprocessing: the preprocessing algorithm acts on each string separately, and then the query algorithm takes as input the two preprocessed strings. This model is inspired by scenarios where we would…

We discuss a method to estimate the measure of a compact set which is approximated using the Hausdorff distance by a sequence of compact sets. We do this by considering corresponding fattenings of the sequence of compact sets and showing…

We revisit the classical polygonal line simplification problem and study it using the Hausdorff distance and Fr\'echet distance. Interestingly, no previous authors studied line simplification under these measures in its pure form, namely:…

For any two point sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of size up to $n$, the Chamfer distance from $A$ to $B$ is defined as $\text{CH}(A,B)=\sum_{a \in A} \min_{b \in B} d_X(a,b)$, where $d_X$ is the underlying distance measure (e.g., the…

We study the computational complexity of determining the Hausdorff distance of two polytopes given in halfspace- or vertex-presentation in arbitrary dimension. Subsequently, a matching problem is investigated where a convex body is allowed…

To measure the shape similarity of point sets, various notions of the Hausdorff distance under translation are widely studied. In this context, for an $n$-point set $P$ and $m$-point set $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we consider the task of…
