======================
"Near set theory provides methods that can be used to extract resemblance
information from objects contained in disjoint sets, i.e., it provides a
formal basis for the observation, comparison, and classification of objects.
The discovery of near sets begins with choosing the appropriate method to
describe observed objects. For example, collections of digital images viewed
as disjoint sets of points provide a rich hunting ground for near sets."
<...>
"The Near set Evaluation and Recognition (NEAR) system, is a system
developed to demonstrate practical applications of near set theory to the
problems of image segmentation evaluation and image correspondence. It was
motivated by a need for a freely available software tool that can provide
results for research and to generate interest in near set theory"

Subject: A good measure of distance for pixel intensities
Hi!
Background: I want to compare two images that are identical in many respects
(pixel-wise) but are different in the pixel intensity values they have. I'm
aware of the many image comparison methods out there, but I want to keep it
very very simple (for all the image analysists: these two images are
artificial and made through the same process with some differences without
any spatial translation).
What I am doing right now: is calculating the euclidian distance between the
pixel intensities of the 2 images. The mean of all the distances (if the
image is 500*500 pixels then there are 500^2 distances) gives me a measure
of how similar those images are.
My question is: is the euclidian distance really the best option when
comparing natural numbers that can only range between 0 and 255, or should I
use some other measure of distance or transform the pixel intensities first?
Thanks in advance!
