public interface SimilarityMeasure
An interface for classes which measures the degree of similarity between two
Geometry
s.
The computed measure lies in the range [0, 1].
Higher measures indicate a great degree of similarity.
A measure of 1.0 indicates that the input geometries are identical
A measure of 0.0 indicates that the geometries
have essentially no similarity.
The precise definition of "identical" and "no similarity" may depend on the
exact algorithm being used.- Author:
