Abstract

Graph matching and graph edit distance are fundamental concepts instructural pattern recognition. In this paper, the weighted mean ofa pair of graphs is introduced. Given two graphs, G andG', with d(G, G') being the edit distance of G andG', the weighted mean of G and G' is a graphG'' that has edit distances d(,iG, G) and(G'', G') to G and G', respectively,such that d(G, G'') + d(G'',G') = d(G, G'). We'll show formalproperties of the weighted mean, describe a procedure for itscomputation, and give examples.
