A distance measure between plant architectures

A distance measure between plant architectures

In many biological fields (e.g. horticulture, forestry, botany), a need exists to quantify different types of variability within a set of plants. In this paper, we propose a method to compare plant individuals based on a detailed comparison of their architectures. The core of the method relies on an adaptation of an algorithm for comparing rooted tree graphs, recently proposed by Zhang in theor...

A measure of distance between judgment sets

In the literature on judgment aggregation, an important open question is how to measure the distance between any two judgment sets. This is relevant for issues of social choice: if two individuals hold different beliefs then we might want to find a compromise that lies somewhere between them. We propose a set of axioms that determine a measure of distance uniquely. This measure differs from the...

A distance measure between labeled combinatorial maps

Combinatorial maps are widely used in image representation and processing, however map matching problems have not been extensively researched. This paper addresses the problem of inexact matching between labeled combinatorial maps. First, the concept of edit distance is extended to combinatorial maps, and then used to define mapping between combinatorial maps as a sequence of edit operations th...
