OrthogonalDistance Concept Reference

Definition

Requirements of an orthogonal distance class supporting incremental distance updates. To optimize distance computations transformed distances are used. E.g., for an Euclidean distance the transformed distance is the squared Euclidean distance.

◆ max_distance_to_rectangle()

FT OrthogonalDistance::max_distance_to_rectangle ( Query_item  q,
Kd_tree_rectangle< FT, D r,
std::vector< FT > &  dists 
)

Returns the transformed distance between q and the point on the boundary of r farthest to q.

The vector dists has the size of the dimension of the data points and is filled with the distance in each dimension.

◆ min_distance_to_rectangle()

FT OrthogonalDistance::min_distance_to_rectangle ( Query_item  q,
Kd_tree_rectangle< FT, D r,
std::vector< FT > &  dists 
)

Returns the transformed distance between q and the point on the boundary of r closest to q.

The vector dists has the size of the dimension of the data points and is filled with the distance in each dimension.
