A method for comparing a plurality of geometrical data representations each representing a spatial boundary surface of a corresponding geometrical object which surface changes over a selected extent of the object bounded thereby through providing the plurality of geometrical data representations on a common format basis, including scaling so as to each to have a common selected extent, to thereby result in a plurality of standardized spatial boundary surface geometrical data representations and comparing them at a plurality of matching section locations along each of the common extents at each of which there is a section outline curve representations. Comparing selected features of the commonly scaled section outline curve representations for such representations at corresponding ones of the selected matched section locations provides a basis for determining similarity therebetween.
