The success of popular algorithms such as k-means clustering or nearest neighbor searches depend on the assumption that the underlying distance functions reflect domain-specific n...
Abstract. Estimating the degree of similarity between images is a challenging task as the similarity always depends on the context. Because of this context dependency, it seems qui...
Retrieval techniques based on pure similarity metrics are often suffered from the scales of image features. An alternative approach is to learn a mapping based on queries and rele...
A new scheme of learning similarity measure is proposed for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). It learns a boundary that separates the images in the database into two parts. Im...

Distance metric is widely used in similarity estimation. In this paper we find that the most popular Euclidean and Manhattan distance may not be suitable for all data distribution...
