We propose a novel face image similarity measure based on Hausdorff distance (HD). In contrast to conventional HD-based measures, which are generally applied in the image space (s...
Current approaches for answering queries with imprecise constraints require users to provide distance metrics and importance measures for attributes of interest. In this paper we ...
We propose three distance measures for genetic search space. One is a distance measure in the population space that is useful for understanding the working mechanism of genetic al...
In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture ...
We propose a region-based method to extract semantic foreground regions from color video sequences with static backgrounds. First, we introduce a new distance measure for backgrou...
