A Column Generation Approach for the Graph Matching Problem
Alexandre S. Freire, Roberto Marcondes Cesar Junior, Carlos Eduardo Ferreira · 2010
Graph matching plays a central role in different problems for structural pattern recognition. Examples of applications include matching 3D CAD models, shape matching and medical imaging, to name but a few. In this paper, we present a new integer linear formulation for the problem and employ a combinatorial optimization technique, called “column generation”, in order to solve instances of the problem. We also present computational experiments with generated instances.
