Abstract

The need to analyze and visualize distances between objects arises in many use cases. Although the problem to calculate the distance between two polygonal objects may sound simple, real-world scenarios with large models will always be challenging, but optimization techniques – such as space partitioning – can reduce the complexity of the average case significantly. Our contribution to this problem is a publicly available benchmark to compare distance calculation algorithms. To illustrate the usage, we investigated and evaluated a grid-based distance measurement algorithm.
