The geometric type of this kind of function was originally developed for computer vision but is now used in, among other applications, fingerprint recognition.
The geometric type of this kind of function was originally developed for computer vision but is now used in, among other applications, fingerprint recognition. A function of this type is used by the Rabin-Karp algorithm to efficiently search for examples of plagiarism. Rainbow tables list pre- calculated outputs of these functions, which in most practical examples have pairs of values that map to the same output, called a collision. Algorithms to generate them include SHA-1 and MD5, which output an index based on the input, called a "key"; those indices, which are also known by this term, can be listed in a map or table named for them. Give this term associated with the tagging of objects using a pound sign.
