Abstract
In order to compare two two-dimensional sets of points (P , P , . . . , P ; G , G , . . . G ), an equation system is solved that can be obtained by generating a transformation equation for the first set of points with variable parameters and determining the values of the parameters for which the sum over all squared distances between the transformed points P ′ of the first set and the assigned points G of the second set assumes a minimum, the values of the parameters obtained in this way being used as a measure of the similarity of the sets of points (P , P , . . . , P ; G , G , . . . G ).
