The Intensity Distance take into accont only the norm of the relative intersection between X and Y, which the Angular Distance cannot. If DA(X,Y) is close to 0 (resp. close to pi/2), then DI(X,Y) will be close to 0 (resp. close to pi/2). The DI(X,Y) may be diffrent from the DA(X,Y) for intermediate values depending on ow X and Y intersect.
For a given intermediate DA(X,Y), we may have :
DI(X,Y) closer to 0 as X and Y intersect on few high components
DI(X,Y) closer to pi/2 as X and Y intersect on many low components
Any situation between these two extremes (in that case DI(X,Y) is not particulary usefull).
