pub fn frechet_decide_certified(
a: &[DVec3],
b: &[DVec3],
eps: f64,
) -> Result<FrechetDecision, FrechetError>Expand description
A certified decision for whether the continuous Fréchet distance between
a and b is at most eps, unlike frechet_at_most
(cheaper, but its module docs say plainly it is not certified).
§Design
The decision is monotone non-decreasing in eps, and every distance or
foot value it reads is within a conservative bound margin of the true
value. If the computed free space already permits a monotone
path at the smaller leash eps - margin, the true free space at eps
– a superset, since a true distance is at most margin above its
computed value – permits it too, so the answer is certainly
FrechetDecision::AtMost. Symmetrically, if even the computed free
space at the larger leash eps + margin – a superset of the true free
space at eps – fails to permit a path, the true one certainly does
not, so the answer is certainly FrechetDecision::MoreThan. Otherwise
the true distance is provably within margin of eps and the decision
is FrechetDecision::Undecided.
§Errors
An empty polyline, a non-finite coordinate, or a negative or non-finite
eps.
