Hey Christoph, Yes, that information was very useful :D I think that the Hausdorff distance is not useful in my case since the comparison has to be done taking into account the sequence of the points. The Fréchet distance solves this in a very interesting way.
That information led me to more information regarding the comparison/clustering of trajectories for which I would like to know if someone has some experience in: - Trajectory-OPTICS http://www-kdd.isti.cnr.it/~nanni/papers/T-focusing-MSTD05.pdf - partial Fréchet distance http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/~yusu/papers/partialFrechet.pdf - reparametrization as described for the Fréchet distance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9chet_distance I understand the general idea behind Fréchet distance but I can't get my head around those equations. They are totally un-intuitive for me and the free-space diagram even more. If someone could pull some light into the topic I would really appreciate it.
