An efficient and locality-oriented Hausdorff distance algorithm: Proposal and analysis of paradigms and implementations

作者:

Highlights:

• I propose the first morphological implementation of the Hausdorff Distance (HD). Although Serra has proved that it can be computed using mathematics, he did not provide nor propose any tangible implementation. I am the first to propose a morphological implementation (there could be many) and I compare it using different paradigms (CPU and GPU) to the state-of-the-art.

• The proposed algorithm is much faster than the state-of-the-art (work of Taha and Hanbury published in TPAMI) when we consider both the CPU and the GPU for the worst case and for tasks such as image registration.

• I provide the most extensive evaluation of performance of the Hausdorff distance in the literature (considering different paradigms and programming languages).

• When we consider the CPU, my proposal is up to 8 times faster than the Taha-Hanbury implementation for image registration and 22337 times faster for the worst case. In the case of the GPU, it is even faster than that.
