The Hausdorff Distance is a mathematical construct to measure the "closeness" of two sets of points that are subsets of a metric space.
Such a measure may be used to assign a scalar score to the similarity between two trajectories, data clouds or any sets of points.
This function will return the Hausdorff Distance between two sets of points.

| Version | Published | Release Notes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6.0.0 | An option for data visualization is now included. |
||
| 1.4.0.0 | Based on user comments, the algorithm for large data sets was updated for performance. |
||
| 1.3.0.0 | The code now automatically switches to a secondary algorithm when there is insufficient memory to compute and store a matrix containing distances between all constituent points. It also allows the user to manually choose the desired algorithm. |
||
| 1.2.0.0 | Generalizes the code to allow N-dimensional point sets. This update is inspired by file 27905, which has a good implementation of HD beyond 2-D sets of points. |
||
| 1.1.0.0 | Edits Added the matrix of distances as an output option. Fixed a bug that would cause an error if one of the sets was a single point. Removed excess calls to "size" and "length". - May 2010 |

| 1.0.0.0 |
