Matching word images has many applications in document recognition and retrieval systems. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is popularly used to estimate the similarity between word imag...
This paper introduces a new method for shape registration by matching vector distance functions. The vector distance function representation is more flexible than the conventional...
We present a taxonomy for local distance functions where most existing algorithms can be regarded as approximations of the geodesic distance defined by a metric tensor. We categor...
The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) is a similarity measure that captures perceptual difference between two distributions. Its computational complexity, however, prevents a direc...
We introduce a method that enables scalable image search for learned metrics. Given pairwise similarity and dissimilarity constraints between some images, we learn a Mahalanobis d...
