The MPEG-7 dominant color descriptor (DCD) is an effective, compact, and intuitive representation of salient colors in an image region and is very useful for contentbased image re...
In this paper, we present a general guideline to find a better distance measure for similarity estimation based on statistical analysis of distribution models and distance function...

Similarity search is widely used in multimedia retrieval systems to find the most similar ones for a given object. Some similarity measures, however, are not metric, leading to e...
The performance of many computer vision and machine learning algorithms critically depends on the quality of the similarity measure defined over the feature space. Previous works...
Conventional similarity metrics used to sustain diversity in evolving populations are not well suited to sequential decision tasks. Genotypes and phenotypic structure are poor pre...
