Abstract:Clustering is the task of partitioning a given set of geometric objects. This is thoroughly studied when the objects are points in the euclidean space. There are also several approaches for points in general metric spaces. In this thesis we consider clustering polygonal curves, i.e., curves composed of line segments, under the Fréchet distance. We obtain clusterings by minimizing an objective function, which yields a set of centers that induces a partition of the input.The objective functions we consider is th… Show more
