A curve whose beginning and ending points are the same point.

Measurement space

Software; Image processing

Feature space

Software; Image processing

In pattern recognition, a set of all possible n-tuples ( x i , x2, ..., x,) that can be used to represent n features of a pattern. See also: measurement space.
