Edit distance matching has been used in literature for word spotting with characters taken as primitives. The recognition rate however, is limited by the segmentation inconsistenci...
Distance permutation indexes support fast proximity searching in high-dimensional metric spaces. Given some fixed reference sites, for each point in a database the index stores a...
