Parameters

signature1

Type: Emgu.CVIInputArray
First signature, a size1 x dims + 1 floating-point matrix. Each row stores the point weight followed by the point coordinates. The matrix is allowed to have a single column (weights only) if the user-defined cost matrix is used.

signature2

Type: Emgu.CVIInputArray
Second signature of the same format as signature1 , though the number of rows may be different. The total weights may be different. In this case an extra 'dummy' point is added to either signature1 or signature2

distType

Type: Emgu.CV.CvEnumDistType
Used metric. CV_DIST_L1, CV_DIST_L2 , and CV_DIST_C stand for one of the standard metrics. CV_DIST_USER means that a pre-calculated cost matrix cost is used.

cost (Optional)

Type: Emgu.CVIInputArray
User-defined size1 x size2 cost matrix. Also, if a cost matrix is used, lower boundary lowerBound cannot be calculated because it needs a metric function.

lowerBound (Optional)

Type: SystemSingle
Optional input/output parameter: lower boundary of a distance between the two signatures that is a distance between mass centers. The lower boundary may not be calculated if the user-defined cost matrix is used, the total weights of point configurations are not equal, or if the signatures consist of weights only (the signature matrices have a single column).

flow (Optional)

Type: Emgu.CVIOutputArray
Resultant size1 x size2 flow matrix
