Detailed Description

template<class T = int>
class prapi::HistogramIntersection< T >

Histogram intersection calculates the intersection between two feature distributions.

The result of this measure is HI = 1-sum_i=1..N(min(S_i,M_i)), where S and M represent the sample and model distributions, respectively. N is the length of the distributions.

Public Methods
	HistogramIntersection ()
	Construct a new HistogramIntersection proximity measure.
void	setNormalized (bool normalize)
	Set the normalized state.
bool	isNormalized (void)
	Get the normalize state.
double	getProximity (const util::List< T > &sample, const util::List< T > &model, double stopAfter=MAXDOUBLE) const throw (ProximityException&)
	Proximity between two lists.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T = int> prapi::HistogramIntersection< T >::HistogramIntersection (    )  [inline]

Construct a new HistogramIntersection proximity measure. The measure is normalized by default.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T> double prapi::HistogramIntersection< T >::getProximity (  const util::List< T > &    sample, const util::List< T > &    model, double    stopAfter = MAXDOUBLE )  const throw (ProximityException&) [virtual]

Proximity between two lists. Parameters: sample  the list to be classified model  the model stopAfter  A value that can be used in optimizing the performance of a proximity measure. Classifiers may set this value to inform the proximity measure to stop if it notices the proximity will be over a certain value. For example, the kNN classifier sets this value to the kth smallest proximity so far. If a sample is not closer than that, then it makes no sense to inspect it any more. Implements prapi::ProximityMeasure< T >.

template<class T = int> void prapi::HistogramIntersection< T >::setNormalized (  bool    normalize )  [inline]

Set the normalized state. If true, then all feature vectors given to this proximity measure are normalized prior to calculating the proximity. If false, then the feature vectors are assumed to be normalized a priori. In the latter case, the computational performance of the measure will be significantly higher. The default value is true.
