Abstract

In this paper we present an evaluation of six well established line segment distance functions within the scope of line segment matching. We show analytically, using synthetic data, the properties of the distance functions with respect to rotation, translation, and scaling. The evaluation points out the main characteristics of the distance functions. In addition, we demonstrate the practical relevance of line segment matching and introduce a new distance function.
