Canonical Diffeomorphisms of Manifolds Near Spheres by Wang, Bing, Zhao, Xinrui

“…Abstract For a given Riemannian manifold $$(M^n, g)$$ ( M n , g ) which is near standard sphere $$(S^n, g_{round})$$ ( S n , g round ) in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology and satisfies $$Rc \ge n-1$$ R c ≥ n - 1 , it is known by Cheeger–Colding theory that M is diffeomorphic to $$S^n$$ S n . …”

Scalable near identical image and shot detection by Chum, O, Philbin, J, Isard, M, Zisserman, A

“…Both methods are designed so that only a small amount of data need be stored for each image. In the case of near-duplicate shot detection it is shown that a weak approximation to histogram matching, consuming substantially less storage, is sufficient for good results. …”
