Calculates the maximum distance between a point and any possible point of a given hyper-cube.
Calculates the maximum distance between a point and
any possible point of a given hyper-cube. In the euclidean
case, this is the distance to the hyper-cube b's corner that
is furthest to the point a, no matter whether a
is contained in b or not.
Calculates the minimum distance between a point and any possible point of a given hyper-cube.
Calculates the minimum distance between a point and
any possible point of a given hyper-cube. In the euclidean
case, this is the distance to the hyper-cube b's corner that
is closest to the point a, if a lies outside of b,
or zero, if a lies within b.
Composes this distance so that a threshold is applied to point-point distances.
Composes this distance so that a threshold is applied to
point-point distances. If the point-point distance of the
underlying measure returns a value less than or equal the given threshold,
then instead the value 0L is returned. This allows for
quicker searches so that a nearest neighbour becomes an
approximate nn within the given threshold (the first
arbitrary point encountered with a distance smaller than
the threshold will be returned).
Note that the threshold is directly compared to the result
of distance, thus if the underlying measure uses a skewed
distance, this must be taken into account. For example, if
euclideanSq is used, and points within a radius of 4 should
be approximated, a threshold of 4 * 4 = 16 must be chosen!
Applies a filter to this measure by constraining distances
to objects b which lie within the given IntSquare.
Applies a filter to this measure by constraining distances
to objects b which lie within the given IntSquare. That
is, if for example distance( a, b ) is called, first it
is checked if b is within hyperCube. If so, the underlying
measure is calculated, otherwise, Long.MaxValue is returned.
This behaviour extends to the minDistance and maxDistance
methods.
A value which will never be exceeded by the measure.
