Method Detail

find_nearest

public float find_nearest(Mat samples,
                 int k,
                 Mat results,
                 Mat neighborResponses,
                 Mat dists)

Finds the neighbors and predicts responses for input vectors.

For each input vector (a row of the matrix samples), the method finds the k nearest neighbors. In case of regression, the predicted result is a mean value of the particular vector's neighbor responses. In case of classification, the class is determined by voting.

For each input vector, the neighbors are sorted by their distances to the vector.

In case of C++ interface you can use output pointers to empty matrices and the function will allocate memory itself.

If only a single input vector is passed, all output matrices are optional and the predicted value is returned by the method.

The function is parallelized with the TBB library.

Parameters:

samples - Input samples stored by rows. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of number_of_samples x number_of_features size.

k - Number of used nearest neighbors. It must satisfy constraint: k <= "CvKNearest.get_max_k".

results - Vector with results of prediction (regression or classification) for each input sample. It is a single-precision floating-point vector with number_of_samples elements.

neighborResponses - Optional output values for corresponding neighbors. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of number_of_samples x k size.

dists - a dists

train

public boolean train(Mat trainData,
            Mat responses,
            Mat sampleIdx,
            boolean isRegression,
            int maxK,
            boolean updateBase)

Trains the model.

The method trains the K-Nearest model. It follows the conventions of the generic "CvStatModel.train" approach with the following limitations:

• Only CV_ROW_SAMPLE data layout is supported.
• Input variables are all ordered.
• Output variables can be either categorical (is_regression=false) or ordered (is_regression=true).
• Variable subsets (var_idx) and missing measurements are not supported.

Parameters:

trainData - a trainData

responses - a responses

sampleIdx - a sampleIdx

isRegression - Type of the problem: true for regression and false for classification.

maxK - Number of maximum neighbors that may be passed to the method "CvKNearest.find_nearest".

updateBase - Specifies whether the model is trained from scratch (update_base=false), or it is updated using the new training data (update_base=true). In the latter case, the parameter maxK must not be larger than the original value.
