Sublinear Time Algorithms for Earth Mover's Distance
We study the problem of estimating the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) between probability distributions when given access only to samples of the distributions. We give closeness t...

Fast Contour Matching Using Approximate Earth Mover's Distance
Weighted graph matching is a good way to align a pair of shapes represented by a set of descriptive local features; the set of correspondences produced by the minimum cost matchin...

Approximate earth mover's distance in linear time
The earth mover's distance (EMD) [16] is an important perceptually meaningful metric for comparing histograms, but it suffers from high (O(N3 log N)) computational complexity...

Matching Point Sets with Respect to the Earth Mover's Distance
Let A and B be two sets of m resp. n weighted points in the plane, with m ≤ n. We present (1 + ) and (2+ )-approximation algorithms for the minimum Euclidean Earth Mover’s Dis...

Differential Earth Mover's Distance with Its Applications to Visual Tracking
The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) is a similarity measure that captures perceptual difference between two distributions. Its computational complexity, however, prevents a direc...
