pyriemann.utils.distance.distance_riemann(A, B)

Affine-invariant Riemannian distance between SPD matrices.

The affine-invariant Riemannian distance between two SPD matrices A and B is:

\[d(\mathbf{A},\mathbf{B}) = {\left( \sum_i \log(\lambda_i)^2 \right)}^{1/2}\]

where \(\lambda_i\) are the joint eigenvalues of \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\).

Parameters

Andarray, shape (…, n, n)

First SPD matrices, at least 2D ndarray.

Bndarray, shape (…, n, n)

Second SPD matrices, same dimensions as A.

Returns

dndarray, shape (…,) or float

Affine-invariant Riemannian distance between A and B.
