We introduce a new distance measure, which is more robust to the presence of outliers than the previously used measure, as well as a new variant of the search algorithm and a new search strategy. We also present experimental results, which show that these enhancements offer significant tangible improvements in performance. %B Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2008.
