Dimension-Specific Search for Multimedia Retrieval [PDF]

, 2009
Observing that current Global Similarity Measures (GSM) which average the effect of few significant differences on all dimensions may cause possible performance limitation, we propose the first Dimension-specific Similarity Measure (DSM) to take local dimensionspecific constraints into consideration.
