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

Method Detail

normalizeRequest

void normalizeRequest(ChunkTypeRequest request)

can be used to expand variables or special values

Parameters:

these are self-templating. The master copy is installed and during the search processing a copy is instantiated.

Parameters:

request -

Returns:

getWeight

int getWeight()

accept

boolean accept(ChunkTypeRequest template)

getComparator

java.util.Comparator<ChunkTypeRequest> getComparator()
