Abstract: We present simple and practical (1+eps)-approximation algorithm for the Frechet distance between curves. To analyze this algorithm we introduce a new realistic family of curves, c-packed curves, that is closed under simplification. We believe the notion of c-packed curves to be of independent interest. We show that our algorithm has near linear running time for c-packed curves, and show similar results for other input models.
