Abstract | Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problems of image processing. This success comes from two reasons, a physical one, since it computes a physical cost to transport an element of mass between two images or two histograms, and a statistical one, since it is a cross-bin metric (as opposed to a bin-wise metric). In computer vision, these features are useful since small variation of illuminance can shift the histogram. However, histograms are not a sufficient statistic to discriminate images since they ignore all geometric correlations. In addition, transport also called flow of an histogram loose the information of geometric flow to warp one image on to an other. This paper proposes a new construction of EMD between images. This construction approximates the EMD between two images, by computing a pixel-wise transport at the complexity cost of computing an EMD between 1-D Histograms and preserves the geometrical and topological structure of the image. This construction simply relies on a segmentation of the image (also called superpixelization of the image). Results on matching on images shows the stability of the method even when the superpixelizations are highly inconsistent across images. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
