Description:
An Introduction to Discrete Frechet Distance and Its Applications
Dr. Binhai Zhu, Professor, Computer Science Department
MSU-Bozeman
Abstract
Frechet distance was first introduced by Maurice Frechet in 1906.
It has been widely used to measure the similarity of polygonal chains
since early 1990s. In this talk I will introduce the discrete Frechet distance,
which is simpler and sometimes biologically more meaningful than the
(continuous) Frechet distance, and some of its applications. I will also
describe several research problems for graduate students.
While containing some technical details, this talk is expected to be
understandable by the general public.
