Abstract

We consider the following geometric pattern matching problem: Given two sets of points in the plane, P and Q, and some (arbitrary) @d0, find a similarity transformation T (translation, rotation and scale) such that h(T(P),Q)0 controls the approximation. Our approximation is on the size of the subset, B@?P, such that h(T(B),Q)(1-@e)|P| with high probability.
