ab: Summary: This paper introduces associated near sets of distance functions
    called merotopies. An associated set of a function is a collection
    containing members with one or more common properties. This study has
    important implications in discerning patterns shared by members of an
    associated set. The focus in this paper is on defining and
    characterising distance functions relative to structures that are
    collections of sufficiently near (or apart) rough sets.
    Naimpally-Peters-Tiwari distance functions define approach spaces that
    are extended metric spaces. An important side-effect of this work is
    the discovery of various patterns that arise from the descriptions
    (perceptions) of associated set members. An application of the proposed
    approach is given in the context of camouflaged objects.
