N2 - Given two compact convex sets P and Q in the plane, we compute an image of P under a rigid motion that approximately maximizes the overlap with Q. More precisely, for any >0, we compute a rigid motion such that the area of overlap is at least 1- times the maximum possible overlap. Our algorithm uses O(1/) extreme point and line intersection queries on P and Q, plus O((1/ 2)log(1/)) running time. If only translations are allowed, the extra running time reduces to O((1/)log(1/)). If P and Q are convex polygons with n vertices in total that are given in an array or balanced tree, the total running time is O((1/)logn+(1/2)log(1/)) for rigid motions and O((1/)logn+(1/)log(1/)) for translations.
