Abstract

We propose a process for determining approximated matches, in terms of the bottleneck distance, under color preserving rigid motions, between two colored point sets A,B@?R^2, |A|@?|B|. We solve the matching problem by generating all representative motions that bring A close to a subset B^' of set B and then using a graph matching algorithm. We also present an approximate matching algorithm with improved computational time. In order to get better running times for both algorithms we present a lossless filtering preprocessing step. By using it, we determine some candidate zones which are regions that contain a subset S of B such that A may match one or more subsets B^' of S. Then, we solve the matching problem between A and every candidate zone. Experimental results using both synthetic and real data are reported to prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
