closest point of approach
(nautical, navigation) An estimated point in which the distance between two objects, of which at least one is in motion, will reach its minimum value; abbreviated CPA. The estimate is used to evaluate the risk of a collision of e.g. two ships.
Iterative closest point
a point cloud registration algorithm employed to minimize the difference between two clouds of points.
Closest pair of points problem
The closest pair of points problem or closest pair problem is a problem of computational geometry: given points in metric space, find a pair of points with the smallest distance between them.
Distance of closest approach
The distance of closest approach of two objects is the distance between their centers when they are externally tangent.
Closest string
In theoretical computer science, the closest string is an NP-hard computational problem, which tries to find the geometrical center of a set of input strings.
