The article analyzes similarity of closed polygonal curves in Frechet metric, which is stronger than the well-known Hausdorff metric and therefore is more appropriate in some applications. An algorithm that determines whether the Frechet…
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…
The paper presents a discrete variation of the Frechet distance between closed curves, which can be seen as an approximation of the continuous measure. A rather straightforward approach to compute the discrete Frechet distance between two…
The Frechet distance is a metric to compare two curves, which is based on monotonous matchings between these curves. We call a matching that results in the Frechet distance a Frechet matching. There are often many different Frechet…
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…
The Fr\'echet distance is a popular similarity measure that is well-understood for polygonal curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$: near-quadratic time algorithms exist, and conditional lower bounds suggest that these results cannot be improved…
We introduce a new distance measure for comparing polygonal chains: the $k$-Fr\'echet distance. As the name implies, it is closely related to the well-studied Fr\'echet distance but detects similarities between curves that resemble each…
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;…
The Frechet distance is a well-studied and very popular measure of similarity of two curves. Many variants and extensions have been studied since Alt and Godau introduced this measure to computational geometry in 1991. Their original…
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…
The \emph{Fr\'echet distance} is a well studied similarity measures between curves. The \emph{discrete Fr\'echet distance} is an analogous similarity measure, defined for a sequence $A$ of $m$ points and a sequence $B$ of $n$ points, where…
The Fr\'echet distance is a commonly used distance measure for curves. Computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal curves of $n$ vertices takes roughly quadratic time, and conditional lower bounds suggest that approximating to…
The Fr\'echet distance is a popular measure of dissimilarity for polygonal curves. It is defined as a min-max formulation that considers all direction-preserving continuous bijections of the two curves. Because of its susceptibility to…
Since its introduction to computational geometry by Alt and Godau in 1992, the Fr\'echet distance has been a mainstay of algorithmic research on curve similarity computations. The focus of the research has been on comparing polygonal…
Let $P$ be a polygon with $k$ vertices. Let $R$ and $B$ be two simple, interior disjoint curves on the boundary of $P$, with $n$ and $m$ vertices. We show how to compute the Fr\'echet distance between $R$ and $B$ using the geodesic…
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.…
A suitable measure for the similarity of shapes represented by parameterized curves or surfaces is the Fr\'echet distance. Whereas efficient algorithms are known for computing the Fr\'echet distance of polygonal curves, the same problem for…
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…
Given two simplicial complexes in R^d, and start and end vertices in each complex, we show how to compute curves (in each complex) between these vertices, such that the Fr\'echet distance between these curves is minimized. As a polygonal…
We present simple and practical $(1+\eps)$-approximation algorithm for the Frechet distance between curves. To analyze this algorithm we introduce a new realistic family of curves, $c$-packed curves, that is closed under simplification. We…
