Class LongLSHSketcher<OBJECT>

java.lang.Object

org.openimaj.lsh.sketch.LongLSHSketcher<OBJECT>

Type Parameters:

OBJECT - Type of object being sketched

All Implemented Interfaces:

Sketcher<OBJECT,long[]>

public class LongLSHSketcher<OBJECT>
extends Object
implements Sketcher<OBJECT,long[]>

A Sketcher that produces bit-string sketches encoded as long arrays. Only the least-significant bit of each hash function will be appended to the final sketch. The length of the output array will be computed such that the bit from each hash function is contained.
