KD-tree nearest neighbor searcher

The KDTreeSearcher class implements a KD-tree search algorithm for nearest neighbor queries. It stores training data and supports various distance metrics along with their parameter values for performing a KD-tree search. The KD-tree algorithm partitions the training data into a hierarchical tree structure and performs search operations by traversing the tree to reduce the number of distance computations. It facilitates nearest neighbor queries using knnsearch and radius queries using rangesearch.

You can either use the KDTreeSearcher class constructor or the createns function to create an KDTreeSearcher object.

Source Code: KDTreeSearcher

The KDTreeSearcher class contains the following properties:

Point data, specified as an N×P numeric matrix where each row is an observation and each column is a feature. This property is private and cannot be modified after object creation.

Data of class single is stored and searched in single precision, any other numeric class is converted to double.

The type and value of the distance parameter depends on the selected Distance metric and can be any of the following:

  • For 'minkowski', a positive scalar exponent (default 2).
  • Empty for other metrics ('euclidean', 'cityblock', 'chebychev'). Attempting to set a non-empty value for these metrics will result in an error.

The KDTreeSearcher class offers the following public methods:

KDTreeSearcher: obj = KDTreeSearcher (X)
KDTreeSearcher: obj = KDTreeSearcher (X, name, value)

obj = KDTreeSearcher (X) constructs a KDTreeSearcher object with training data X using the default 'euclidean' distance metric. X must be an N×P numeric matrix, where rows represent observations and columns represent features.

obj = KDTreeSearcher (X, name, value) allows customization through name-value pairs:

NameValue
'Distance'Distance metric, specified as a character vector ('euclidean', 'cityblock', 'minkowski', 'chebychev'). Default is 'euclidean'.
'P'Minkowski distance exponent, a positive scalar. Valid only when 'Distance' is 'minkowski'. Default is 2.
'BucketSize'Maximum number of data points in the leaf node of the KD-tree, a positive integer. Default is 50.

You can also create a KDTreeSearcher object using the createns function.

'Distance' and 'P' override the searcher’s own metric for that call only; the Distance and DistParameter properties keep their values. The tree is built from the data alone, so changing the metric does not rebuild it. 'Cov' and 'Scale' are not accepted, since they belong to metrics a kd-tree cannot search.

KDTreeSearcher: [idx, D] = knnsearch (obj, Y)
KDTreeSearcher: [idx, D] = knnsearch (obj, Y, name, value)

[idx, D] = knnsearch (obj, Y, K) returns the indices idx and distances D of the K nearest neighbors in obj.X to each point in Y, using the distance metric specified in obj.Distance.

  • obj is a KDTreeSearcher object.
  • Y is an M×P numeric matrix of query points, where P must match the number of columns in obj.X.
  • idx contains the indices of the nearest neighbors in obj.X.
  • D contains the corresponding distances.

idx is always of class double. D is of class single when either obj.X or Y is single, in which case the distances are computed in single precision, and of class double otherwise.

[idx, D] = knnsearch (obj, Y, name, value) allows additional options via name-value pairs:

NameValue
'K'A positive integer specifying the number of nearest neighbors to find. Default is 1. A value larger than the number of observations in the training data is answered with all of them, since there are no more neighbors to return.
'IncludeTies'Logical flag indicating whether to include all neighbors tied with the Kth smallest distance. Default is false. If true, idx and D are cell arrays.
'SortIndices'Logical flag indicating whether to sort the indices by distance. Default is true.

KDTreeSearcher: [idx, D] = rangesearch (obj, Y, r)
KDTreeSearcher: [idx, D] = rangesearch (obj, Y, r, name, value)

[idx, D] = rangesearch (obj, Y, r) returns the indices idx and distances D of all points in obj.X within radius r of each point in Y, using the distance metric specified in obj.Distance.

  • obj is a KDTreeSearcher object.
  • Y is an M×P numeric matrix of query points, where P must match the number of columns in obj.X.
  • r is a nonnegative scalar specifying the search radius.

idx is always of class double. D is of class single when either obj.X or Y is single, in which case the distances are computed in single precision, and of class double otherwise.

[idx, D] = rangesearch (obj, Y, r, name, value) allows additional options via name-value pairs:

NameValue
'SortIndices'Logical flag indicating whether to sort the indices by distance. Default is true.

idx and D are cell arrays where each cell contains the indices and distances for one query point in Y.
