I have two heatmaps of the same image and I want to compare them. Can I use the "Earth Mover's Distance" metric for differences or similarities between them? I heard "jaccard simmilarity metric" too.
In short, I am trying to learn what are the…

Nearest neighbor search vs Near duplicate detection
I was searching for a few AI/ML and non-AI/ML solutions for the "Near duplicate detection" problem (text, image, audio), I found that there is a similar/exact problem i,e, "Nearest neighbor search" which is also seems handled exactly the same way as…

Find the "center" of some histograms with EMD as the distance metric
Given some histograms of the same number of buckets, I need to find the "center" of those histograms. The "center" is a histogram such that the sum of Earth Mover's Distances to it from all other histograms is the minimum.
For example, given 4…
