Abstract

We introduce a measure for computing the similarity between multiple polylines and a polygon, that can be computed in O(km2n2) time with a straightforward dynamic programming algorithm. We then present a novel fast algorithm that runs in time O(kmn logmn). Here, m denotes the number of vertices in the polygon, and n is the total number of vertices in the k polylines that are matched against the polygon. The effectiveness of the similarity measure has been demonstrated in a part-based retrieval application with known ground-truth.
