Package viper.comparison.distances

Interface Summary

AttrDistance	Like Filterable, Distances are a way of associating distance with data.
Distance	Like Filterable, Distances are a way of associating distance with data.
Distances.QuickValueDistance	Sometimes, it is convenient to save on computations for values that are compared over-and-over; this distance functor allows cacheing operations when performing multiple comparisons between the same attributes.
Distances.SmartValueDistance	An extended distance function object that can deal with both don't-care values and blackout values.
Distances.ValueDistance	An interface for simplifying implementation of a distance metric; instead of implementing all of AttrDistance, you can just pass this to Distances.HelperAttrDistance.
MeasureDistance	Like Filterable, Distances are a way of associating distance with data.

Class Summary

AttrMeasure	Associates distance and metric with a specific type of attribute for a specific descriptor to Object Analysis type evaluation.
DefaultMeasures	Stores the default measure information for each attribute type.
DistanceHolder
Distances	Utility class containing a variety of different standard distance measures.
Distances.DefaultDifference	A simple differnece object, which keeps track of some information about a computed difference.
Distances.HelperAttrDistance	Converts one of the value distance function objects into a AttrDistance.
Distances.HelperMeasureDistance	Converts one of the value distance function objects into a MeasureDistance.

Exception Summary

IgnoredValueException	Thrown when a distance cannot be determined, since it is completely within an ignored region.
UnknownDistanceException	Runtime exception that is thrown when trying to get a distance that has not been registered.
