Method Detail

correlation

public double correlation(Histogram thisHistogam,
                          int displacement,
                          Histogram otherHistogram)

Description copied from interface: HistogramCorrelation

The implementation of a histogram correlation or distance measure.

Specified by:

correlation in interface HistogramCorrelation

Parameters:

thisHistogam - the first histogram

displacement - the value to displace the otherHistogram (e.g. for optimal correlation, minimum distance between the two)

otherHistogram - the second (not displaced) histogram

Returns:

the correlation between a histogram and a displaced histogram

plotCorrelation

public void plotCorrelation(Histogram thisHistogram,
                            int displacement,
                            Histogram otherHistogram,
                            java.lang.String fileName,
                            java.lang.String title)

Description copied from interface: HistogramCorrelation

Plots two histograms and the intersection between the two.

Specified by:

plotCorrelation in interface HistogramCorrelation

Parameters:

thisHistogram - the first histogram

displacement - the value to displace the otherHistogram (e.g. for optimal correlation between the two)

otherHistogram - the second (not displaced) histogram

fileName - Where to save the plot.

title - The title of the plot.
