Taxicab geometry or Manhattan geometry is geometry where the familiar Euclidean distance is ignored, and the distance between two points is instead defined to be the sum of the absolute differences of their respective Cartesian coordinates, a distance function (or metric) called the taxicab distance, Manhattan distance, or city block distance.
The use of the EMD as a distance measure for monochromatic images was described in 1989 by S. Peleg, M. Werman and H. Rom. [11] The name "earth mover's distance" was proposed by J. Stolfi in 1994, [14] and was used in print in 1998 by Y. Rubner, C. Tomasi and L. G. Guibas. [1]
The Minkowski distance or Minkowski metric is a metric in a normed vector space which can be considered as a generalization of both the Euclidean distance and the Manhattan distance. It is named after the Polish mathematician Hermann Minkowski .
Manhattan distance r = 1 Manhattan distance r = 2. In cellular automata, the von Neumann neighborhood (or 4-neighborhood) is classically defined on a two-dimensional square lattice and is composed of a central cell and its four adjacent cells. [1]
A sphere formed using the Chebyshev distance as a metric is a cube with each face perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes, but a sphere formed using Manhattan distance is an octahedron: these are dual polyhedra, but among cubes, only the square (and 1-dimensional line segment) are self-dual polytopes.
It is also known as Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA), Torgerson Scaling or Torgerson–Gower scaling. It takes an input matrix giving dissimilarities between pairs of items and outputs a coordinate matrix whose configuration minimizes a loss function called strain, [2] which is given by (,,...,) = (, (),) /, where denote vectors in N-dimensional space, denotes the scalar product between ...
The Canberra distance is a numerical measure of the distance between pairs of points in a vector space, introduced in 1966 [1] and refined in 1967 [2] by Godfrey N. Lance and William T. Williams. It is a weighted version of L ₁ (Manhattan) distance . [ 3 ]
In mathematics, a Euclidean distance matrix is an n×n matrix representing the spacing of a set of n points in Euclidean space. For points x 1 , x 2 , … , x n {\displaystyle x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n}} in k -dimensional space ℝ k , the elements of their Euclidean distance matrix A are given by squares of distances between them.
