Abstract

The subject of this paper are algorithms for measuring the similarity of patterns of line segments in the plane, a standard problem in, e.g. computer vision, geographic information systems, etc. More precisely, we will define feasible distance measures that reflect how close a given pattern H is to some part of a larger pattern G. These distance measures are generalizations of the well known Fréchet distance for curves. We will first give an efficient algorithm for the case that H is a polygonal curve and G is a geometric graph. Then, slightly relaxing the definition of distance measure we will give an algorithm for the general case where both, H and G, are geometric graphs.
