چکیده

The Fréchet distance between two curves in a metric space is a measure of the similarity between the curves. We present a discrete variation of this measure. It provides good approximations of the continuous measure and can be efficiently computed using a simple algorithm. We also consider variants of discrete Fréchet distance, and find an interesting connection to measuring distance between theories. keywords: Fréchet distance, metrics, curves, polygonal curves

Computing the discrete Fréchet distance upper bound of imprecise input is NP-hard

The Fréchet distance is a natural measure of similarity between two curves [4]. The Fréchet distance between two curves is often referred to as the “dog-leash distance”. Alt and Godau [4] presented an algorithm to compute the Fréchet distance between two polygonal curves of n and m vertices in O(nm log(nm)) time. There has been a lot of applications using the Fréchet distance to do pattern/curv...

Protein Chain Pair Simplification Under the Discrete Fréchet Distance

For protein structure alignment and comparison, a lot of work has been done using RMSD as the distance measure, which has drawbacks under certain circumstances. Thus, the discrete Fréchet distance was recently applied to the problem of protein (backbone) structure alignment and comparison with promising results. For this problem, visualization is also important since protein chain backbones can...

A New Merging Process for Data Integration Based on the Discrete Fréchet Distance

The overlay process is currently one of the main computational solutions used to integrate several data layers from different sources. Unfortunately, it is problematic when trying to overlay many layers. This leads to several geometric problems such as the management of sliver polygons. This paper proposes a new merging process to complement the vector overlay for data integration of several la...
