Interface IIndexFilter

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractIndexFilter, AbstractVisualLocationIndexFilter, AttendedAudioEventFilter, AttendedVisualLocationFilter, NearestAuralFilter, NearestVisualLocationFilter, NumericIndexFilter, ValueVisualLocationFilter, VectorVisualLocationFilter

public interface IIndexFilter

interface that is responsible for the second stage of a perceptual index search. The first stage is handled by the IFeatureMap and provides a list of candidates. the index filters then accept/reject and provide the ability to sort the results using the comparator
