[postgis-users] Same, similar et al

[Bob Pawley]

Hi Sandro

Absolutely, if it's something people want.

I developed the first part a few months ago, just as something to do . I 
compare relative distance of points(intersections) of the object, overriding 
the actual distances(size) and ignoring any spatial reference (placement).

The result is an array set of numbers that should match if the two objects 
are the same.

This system can be easily scaled to improve resolution. At the moment I use 
a resolution of 100 points.

I still need to develop a method of analyzing the arrays ( and perhaps, 
giving a percent evaluation of sameness) for which I have some ideas.

I will probably need some help in making it an actual Postgis function if 
that is what you have in mind.

Bob

Will you share it ?
