This thesis addresses a number of key issues on defining and learning distance metric. The main focus is on the supervised metric learning and covariance distance between patches and its manifold explanation. The major innovations in this work are enumerated as follows: Based on supervised metric learning, a new semantic distance metric learning framework is proposed. Our guiding principle is to preserve the local neighborhoods based on specially designed distance as well as to maximize the distances between data that are not in the same neighborhood in the semantic space. Without any assumption about the structure and the distribution of the input data, this can be done by solving an optimization problem with relatively small amount of training data. Furthermore, the low-level feature space can be mapped to the high-level semantic space by a linear transformation. The proposed method can be used as a pre-processing step to help the common machine learning algorithms to find a better solution. This approach is not limited to problems of clustering and classification, but also is suitable to regression proble
