Method Detail

distance

public double distance(NumberVector v1,
              NumberVector v2)

Description copied from interface: PrimitiveDistanceFunction

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

Specified by:

distance in interface NumberVectorDistanceFunction<NumberVector>

Specified by:

distance in interface PrimitiveDistanceFunction<NumberVector>

Specified by:

distance in class AbstractPrimitiveDistanceFunction<NumberVector>

Parameters:

v1 - first DatabaseObject

v2 - second DatabaseObject

Returns:

the distance between two given DatabaseObjects according to this distance function

norm

public double norm(NumberVector v)

Description copied from interface: Norm

Compute the norm of object obj.

Parameters:

v - Object

Returns:

Norm

minDist

public double minDist(SpatialComparable mbr1,
             SpatialComparable mbr2)

Description copied from interface: SpatialPrimitiveDistanceFunction

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

Parameters:

mbr1 - the first MBR object
