cache

private OnDiskUpperTriangleMatrix cache

The distance cache

Constructor Detail

DiskCacheBasedFloatDistanceFunction

public DiskCacheBasedFloatDistanceFunction(OnDiskUpperTriangleMatrix cache)

Constructor.

Parameters:

cache - Distance matrix

Method Detail

distance

public FloatDistance distance(DBIDRef id1,
                     DBIDRef 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 DBIDDistanceFunction<FloatDistance>

Specified by:

distance in class AbstractDBIDDistanceFunction<FloatDistance>

Parameters:

id1 - first object id

id2 - second object id

Returns:

the distance between the two objects specified by their objects ids

getDistanceFactory

public FloatDistance getDistanceFactory()

Description copied from interface: DistanceFunction

Method to get the distance functions factory.

Specified by:

getDistanceFactory in interface DistanceFunction<DBID,FloatDistance>

Specified by:

getDistanceFactory in class AbstractDBIDDistanceFunction<FloatDistance>

Returns:

Factory for distance objects

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object
