摘要：Given two shapes A and B in the plane with Hausdorff distance 1, is there a shape S with Hausdorff distance 1/2 to and from A and B? The answer is always yes, and depending on convexity of A and/or B, S may be convex, connected, or disconnected. We show a generalization of this result on Hausdorff distances and middle shapes, and show some related properties. We also show that a generalization of such middle shapes implies a morph with a bounded rate of change. Finally, we explore a generalization of the concept of a Hausdorff middle to more than two sets and show how to approximate or compute it.
