Signature Quadratic Form Distance
Christian Beecks, Merih Seran Uysal, Thomas Seidl · 2010
The Signature Quadratic Form Distance is an adaptive similarity measure for flexible content-based feature representations of multimedia data. In this paper, we present a deep survey of the mathematical foundation of this similarity measure which encompasses the classic Quadratic Form Distance defined only for the comparison between two feature histograms of the same length and structure. Moreover, we give the benefits of the Signature Quadratic Form Distance and experimental evaluation on numerous real-world databases.
