vectorized implementation of the Modified Hausdorff Distance

Vectorized implementation of the Modified Hausdorff Distance (MHD)

as described by Dubuisson and Jain in:

M. P. Dubuisson and A. K. Jain. A Modified Hausdorff distance for object

matching. In ICPR94, pages A:566-568, Jerusalem, Israel, 1994.

Function description:

mhd = vectorized_MHD (setA,setB)

it takes as inputs two sets of n-dimensional points (#samples, #dimensions)

and returns the MHD between the two sets.

The vectorized implementation is computationally more efficient than the

for-loop version at the cost of ram memory.
