Kronecker product graph matching

摘要

In this paper the Interpolator-based Kronecker product graph matching (IBKPGM) algorithm for performing attributed graph matching is presented. The IBKPGM algorithm is based on the Kronecker product graph matching (KPGM) formulation. This new formulation incorporates a general approach to a wide class of graph matching problems based on attributed graphs, allowing the structure of the graphs to be based on multiple sets of attributes. Salient features of the IBKPGM algorithm are that no assumption is made about the adjacency structure of the graphs to be matched, and that the explicit calculation of compatibility values between all vertices of the reference and input graphs as well as between all edges of the reference and input graphs are avoided.
