  • Method for interpolating an intermediate polygon p from two polygons p1 and p2
    Patent number: 8253739
    Abstract: A method for interpolating an intermediate polygon P from two polygons P1 and P2. The method includes, in at least one embodiment, defining a similarity measure based on a geometrical reference object, the geometrical reference object being associated with the two polygons P1 and P2; and based on the similarity measure, determining an initial pair of corresponding points. Based on this initial pair of corresponding points, in at least one embodiment of the method, a sequence of pairs of corresponding points is determined from which sequence the intermediate polygon is interpolated.
