9 results about "Hausdorff distance" patented technology

In mathematics, the Hausdorff distance, or Hausdorff metric, also called Pompeiu–Hausdorff distance, measures how far two subsets of a metric space are from each other. It turns the set of non-empty compact subsets of a metric space into a metric space in its own right. It is named after Felix Hausdorff. Informally, two sets are close in the Hausdorff distance if every point of either set is close to some point of the other set.
