A Metric for Finite Sets of Displacements

چکیده
ABSTRACT There are various useful metrics for finding the distance between two points in Euclidean space. Metrics for finding the distance between two rigid body locations in Euclidean space depend on both the coordinate frame and units used. A metric independent of these choices is desirable. This paper presents a metric for a finite set of rigid body displacements. The methodology uses the principal frame (PF) associated with the finite set of displacements and the polar decomposition to map the homogenous transform representation of elements of the special Euclidean group SE(N-1) onto the special orthogonal group SO(N). Once the elements are mapped to SO(N) a bi-invariant metric can then be used. The metric obtained is thus independent of the choice of fixed coordinate frame i.e. it is left invariant. This metric has potential applications in motion synthesis, motion generation and interpolation. Three examples are presented to illustrate the usefulness of this methodology.

متن کاملCompleteness results for metrized rings and lattices
The Boolean ring $B$ of measurable subsets of the unit interval, modulo sets of measure zero, has proper radical ideals (for example, ${0})$ that are closed under the natural metric, but has no prime ideal closed under that metric; hence closed radical ideals are not, in general, intersections of closed prime ideals. Moreover, $B$ is known to be complete in its metric. Togethe...
متن کاملConvexity and Geodesic Metric Spaces
In this paper, we first present a preliminary study on metric segments and geodesics in metric spaces. Then we recall the concept of d-convexity of sets and functions in the sense of Menger and study some properties of d-convex sets and d-convex functions as well as extreme points and faces of d-convex sets in normed spaces. Finally we study the continuity of d-convex functions in geodesic metr...

متن کاملThe Wijsman structure of a quantale-valued metric space
We define and study a quantale-valued Wijsman structure on the hyperspace of all non-empty closed sets of a quantale-valued metric space. We show its admissibility and that the metrical coreflection coincides with the quantale-valued Hausdorff metric and that, for a metric space, the topological coreflection coincides with the classical Wijsman topology. We further define an index of compactnes...
