摘要: Two planar figures aresimilar if a scaled version of one them can be moved so that it coincides with the second figure. The problem checking whether two are similar is relevant to both computational geometry and pattern recognition. An efficient algorithm known for polygonsP andQ similar(1) purpose this note give an figuresP when no longer constrained polygons. We anO(n logn) time solving each figure consists collection (possibly intersecting) straight line segments, circles, ellipses. Our easily modified which include other geometric patterns as well. also prove our optimal.
