Recognition of Paths and Curves in the 2-Dimensional Euclidean Geometry

Abstract

This paper presents global differential invariants of curves and paths in the 2-dimensional Euclidean geometry for the groups of Euclidean transformations M (2) and special Euclidean transformations M + (2). For these groups, analogues of the fundamental theorem for Euclidean curves are obtained in terms of global differential invariants of a path and a curve. Moreover, for given two paths(or curves) with the common differential G-invariants, evident forms of all Euclidean transformations that maps one of the paths (or curves) to the other are found.
