Abstract: An improved system and method for digital image classification is provided. A host computer having a processor is coupled to a memory storing thereon reference feature data. A graphics processing unit (GPU) having a processor is coupled to the host computer and is configured to obtain, from the host computer, feature data corresponding to the digital image; to access, from the memory, the one or more reference feature data; and to determine a semi-metric distance based on a Poisson-Binomial distribution between the feature data and the one or more reference feature data. The host computer is configured to classify the digital image using the determined semimetric distance.
