What is the fastest algorithm to calculate the minimum distance between two sets of points?
问题 I want to find the minimum distance between two polygons. I have to find the minimum of shortest distance between each vertex of first shape with all of the vertices of the other one. Something like the Hausdorff Distance, but I need the minimum instead of the maximum. 回答1: Perhaps you should check out ( PDF warning! Also note that, for some reason, the order of the pages is reversed ) "Optimal Algorithms for Computing the Minimum Distance Between Two Finite Planar Sets" by Toussaint and
