Consider the natural question of how to measure the similarity of curves in the plane by a quantity that is invariant under translations of the curves. Such a measure is justified whenever we aim to quantify the similarity of the curves'…
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 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…
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…
Let $P$ be a polygonal curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ of length $n$, and $S$ be a point-set of size $k$. The Curve/Point Set Matching problem consists of finding a polygonal curve $Q$ on $S$ such that the Fr\'echet distance from $P$ is less than a…
Given two polygonal curves, there are many ways to define a notion of similarity between them. One popular measure is the Fr\'echet distance which has many desirable properties but is notoriously expensive to calculate, especially for…
We give algorithms to compute the Fr\'echet distance of trees and graphs with bounded tree width. Our algorithms run in $O(n^2)$ time for trees of bounded degree, and $O(n^2\sqrt{n \log n})$ time for trees of arbitrary degree. For graphs of…
The Fr\'echet distance is a popular distance measure for curves which naturally lends itself to fundamental computational tasks, such as clustering, nearest-neighbor searching, and spherical range searching in the corresponding metric…
The Fr\'echet distance is a popular metric for curves; however, its bottleneck character is a disadvantage in many applications. Here we introduce two variants of the Fr\'echet distance to cope with this problem and expand the work on…
Let $P$ be a polygonal curve in $\mathbb{R}^D$ of length $n$, and $S$ be a point set of size $k$. The Curve/Point Set Matching problem consists of finding a polygonal curve $Q$ on $S$ such that its Fr\'echet distance from $P$ is less than a…
We study several polygonal curve problems under the Fr\'{e}chet distance via algebraic geometric methods. Let $\mathbb{X}_m^d$ and $\mathbb{X}_k^d$ be the spaces of all polygonal curves of $m$ and $k$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$,…
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…
Simplifying polygonal curves at different levels of detail is an important problem with many applications. Existing geometric optimization algorithms are only capable of minimizing the complexity of a simplified curve for a single level of…
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…
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…
We introduce new distance measures for comparing straight-line embedded graphs based on the Fr\'echet distance and the weak Fr\'echet distance. These graph distances are defined using continuous mappings and thus take the combinatorial…
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 well-studied and very popular measure of similarity of two curves. The best known algorithms have quadratic time complexity, which has recently been shown to be optimal assuming the Strong Exponential Time…
The Fr\'echet distance is a similarity measure between two curves $A$ and $B$: Informally, it is the minimum length of a leash required to connect a dog, constrained to be on $A$, and its owner, constrained to be on $B$, as they walk…
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…
