We study the $c$-approximate near neighbor problem under the continuous Fr\'echet distance: Given a set of $n$ polygonal curves with $m$ vertices, a radius $\delta > 0$, and a parameter $k \leq m$, we want to preprocess the curves into a…
The Fr\'echet distance is a commonly used similarity measure between curves. It is known how to compute the continuous Fr\'echet distance between two polylines with $m$ and $n$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in $O(mn (\log \log n)^2)$ time;…
We study two fundamental problems dealing with curves in the plane, namely, the nearest-neighbor problem and the center problem. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a set of $n$ polygonal curves, each of size $m$. In the nearest-neighbor problem, the goal…
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…
It is unlikely that the discrete Fr\'echet distance between two curves of length $n$ can be computed in strictly subquadratic time. We thus consider the setting where one of the curves, $P$, is known in advance. In particular, we wish to…
Computing the Fr\'{e}chet distance for surfaces is a surprisingly hard problem and the only known algorithm is limited to computing it between flat surfaces. We adapt this algorithm to create one for computing the Fr\'{e}chet distance for a…
Approximate near-neighbors search (\textsc{ANNS}) is a long-studied problem in computational geometry. %that has received considerable attention by researchers in the community. In this paper, we revisit the problem and propose the first…
A set of piecewise linear functions, called polylines, $P_1,\ldots,P_L$ each with at most $n$ vertices can be simplified into a polyline $M$ with $k$ vertices, such that the Fr\'echet distances $\epsilon_1,\ldots,\epsilon_L$ to each of…
In the first part of this thesis, we consider an instance of Frechet distance problem in which the speed of traversal along each segment of the curves is restricted to be within a specfied range. This setting is more realistic than the…
A polygonal curve $P$ with $n$ vertices is $c$-packed, if the sum of the lengths of the parts of the edges of the curve that are inside any disk of radius $r$ is at most $cr$, for any $r>0$. Similarly, the concept of $c$-packedness can be…
We study approximate-near-neighbor data structures for time series under the continuous Fr\'echet distance. For an attainable approximation factor $c>1$ and a query radius $r$, an approximate-near-neighbor data structure can be used to…
The fine-grained complexity of computing the Fr\'echet distance has been a topic of much recent work, starting with the quadratic SETH-based conditional lower bound by Bringmann from 2014. Subsequent work established largely the same…
This paper describes an implementation of fast near-neighbours queries (also known as range searching) with respect to the Fr\'echet distance. The algorithm is designed to be efficient on practical data such as GPS trajectories. Our…
We give the first subquadratic-time approximation schemes for dynamic time warping (DTW) and edit distance (ED) of several natural families of point sequences in $\mathbb{R}^d$, for any fixed $d \ge 1$. In particular, our algorithms compute…
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…
We study a map matching problem, the task of finding in an embedded graph a path that has low distance to a given curve in R^2. The Fr\'echet distance is a common measure for this problem. Efficient methods exist to compute the best path…
We study the problem of sub-trajectory nearest-neighbor queries on polygonal curves under the continuous Fr\'echet distance. Given an $n$ vertex trajectory $P$ and an $m$ vertex query trajectory $Q$, we seek to report a vertex-aligned…
Let $m$ and $n$ be the numbers of vertices of two polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any fixed $d$ such that $m \leq n$. Since it was known in 1995 how to compute the Fr\'{e}chet distance of these two curves in $O(mn\log (mn))$ time, it…
We study data structures for storing a set of polygonal curves in ${\rm R}^d$ such that, given a query curve, we can efficiently retrieve similar curves from the set, where similarity is measured using the discrete Fr\'echet distance or the…
For two closed curves on a plane (discrete version) and local criteria for similarity of points on the curves one gets a potential, which describes the similarity between curve points. This is the base for a global similarity measure of…
