Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for identifying lines in a heat map representative of overlap between two data sets. In an aspect, a method includes generating a heat map comprising a plurality of data points that represent similarities between a first data set and a second data set. The method further includes identifying areas of the heat map within a region of the heat map comprising a potential match line, identifying short lines formed via subsets of the data points respectively contained within the areas, merging the short lines to form a long line, determining degrees of continuity along the long line, and identifying a portion of the long line associated with a degree of continuity above a continuity threshold.
