I would caution about restricting to the [0, 1] range in the functions.  Internal to imshow in Matplotilb we are currently doing this rescaling (because we are using Agg to do some resampling for us) and it has caused a fair amount of trouble, particularly in images with large dynamic range.

This is the existing arrangement, by the way; we've always assumed and used this inside essentially all algorithms. 

You'd need significant dynamic range before floating point distance becomes an issue, I imagine?
