Abstract

An arrangement of discrete objects is analyzed. First and second characteristics are extracted from an actual arrangement of discrete objects and an ideal arrangement of points, respectively, and the first and second characteristics are compared. Each characteristic is invariant, to within an angular constant, under an affine transformation of the respective arrangement.
