Parameters:

config - Parameterization

Method Detail

distance

public FloatDistance distance(V o1,
                              V o2)

Computes the distance between two given DatabaseObjects according to this distance function.

Specified by:

distance in interface DistanceFunction<V extends DatabaseObject,FloatDistance>

Parameters:

o1 - first DatabaseObject

o2 - second DatabaseObject

Returns:

the distance between two given DatabaseObject according to this distance function

distance

public FloatDistance distance(Integer id1,
                              V o2)

Returns the distance between the two specified objects.

Specified by:

distance in interface DistanceFunction<V extends DatabaseObject,FloatDistance>

Overrides:

distance in class AbstractDistanceFunction<V extends DatabaseObject,FloatDistance>

Parameters:

id1 - first object id

o2 - second DatabaseObject

Returns:

the distance between the two objects specified by their objects ids

distance

public FloatDistance distance(Integer id1,
                              Integer id2)

Returns the distance between the two objects specified by their objects ids. If a cache is used, the distance value is looked up in the cache. If the distance does not yet exists in cache, it will be computed an put to cache. If no cache is used, the distance is computed.

Specified by:

distance in interface DistanceFunction<V extends DatabaseObject,FloatDistance>

Overrides:

distance in class AbstractDistanceFunction<V extends DatabaseObject,FloatDistance>

Parameters:

id1 - first object id

id2 - second object id

Returns:

the distance between the two objects specified by their objects ids

loadCache

private void loadCache(File matrixfile)
                throws IOException

Throws:

IOException
