Method and apparatus for exhaustive enumeration of correspondence in a set of descriptors

摘要

The present invention utilizes a set of D descriptors for each of N items. A value K' representing a number of descriptors, and a value K for a number of items that should support an hypothesis are generated, preferably via user input. Collections involving K or more items for which there is an association involving a selection of values across at least K' of the D descriptors are identified, and preferably reported to the user.
