Distance-based classification of handwritten symbols
We study online classification of isolated handwritten symbols using distance measures on spaces of curves. We compare three distance-based measures on a vector space representatio...

On the J-divergence of intuitionistic fuzzy sets with its application to pattern recognition
The importance of suitable distance measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) arises because of the role they play in the inference problem. A concept closely related to o...

Comparing top k lists
Motivated by several applications, we introduce various distance measures between “top k lists.” Some of these distance measures are metrics, while others are not. For each of...

An Experiment with Distance Measures for Clustering
Distance measure plays an important role in clustering data points. Choosing the right distance measure for a given dataset is a non-trivial problem. In this paper, we study vario...

Using Infrared Sensors and the Phong Illumination Model to Measure Distances
Currently, the viability of infrared IR as an accurate means of measuring distance depends on extensive prior knowledge of the surface. More speci cally, the manner in which a sur...
