متن کاملSimilarity Measure for Multi-attribute Data
Efficient recognition of haptic data such as 3D motion capture data and sign language sensory data can have wide applications in the interactive computer animation and sign language automatic translation areas. For this purpose, we propose a similarity measure for multi-attribute haptic data, a new form of multimedia signal. The proposed similarity measure, based on singular value decomposition...
