In data analysis, the self-similarity matrix is a graphical representation of similar sequences in a data series.
Similarity can be explained by different measures, like spatial distance (distance matrix), correlation, or comparison of local histograms or spectral properties (e.g. IXEGRAM[1]). This technique is also applied for the search of a given pattern in a long data series as in gene matching.[citation needed] A similarity plot can be the starting point for dot plots or recurrence plots.
Definition edit
To construct a self-similarity matrix, one first transforms a data series into an ordered sequence of feature vectors , where each vector describes the relevant features of a data series in a given local interval. Then the self-similarity matrix is formed by computing the similarity of pairs of feature vectors
where is a function measuring the similarity of the two vectors, for instance, the inner product . Then similar segments of feature vectors will show up as path of high similarity along diagonals of the matrix.[2] Similarity plots are used for action recognition that is invariant to point of view [3] and for audio segmentation using spectral clustering of the self-similarity matrix.[4]
