Abstract

This paper deals with questions from convex geometry related to shape matching. In particular, we consider the problem of matching convex figures minimizing the area of the symmetric difference. The main theorem of this paper states, that if we just match the two centers of gravity the resulting symmetric difference is within a factor of 11/3 from the optimal one. This leads to efficient approximate matching algorithms for convex figures.
