HistogramIntersection

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl

Calculates normalized histogram intersection norm.

Syntax

void avl::HistogramIntersection
(
	const avl::Histogram& inHistogram1,
	const avl::Histogram& inHistogram2,
	float& outHistIntersection
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
inHistogram1	const Histogram&	First input histogram
inHistogram2	const Histogram&	Second input histogram
outHistIntersection	float&

Description

The operation computes the normalized histogram intersection defined as: \[\frac{ {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {\min \left( {inHistogram{1_j},inHistogram{2_j} } \right)} } }{ {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {inHistogram{2_j} } } }\]

Remarks

Data sets for the input histograms cannot be empty, otherwise an error with appropriate description occurs,
inHistogram1 and inHistogram2 must have the same BinSizes, otherwise an error with appropriate description occurs.
