Member Function Documentation

static Ptr<KNearest> cv::ml::KNearest::create ( )

static

Creates the empty model.

The static method creates empty KNearest classifier. It should be then trained using StatModel::train method.

virtual float cv::ml::KNearest::findNearest	(	InputArray	samples,
		int	k,
		OutputArray	results,
		OutputArray	neighborResponses = `noArray()`,
		OutputArray	dist = `noArray()`
	)		const

pure virtual

Finds the neighbors and predicts responses for input vectors.

Parameters

samples	Input samples stored by rows. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of `<number_of_samples> * k` size.
k	Number of used nearest neighbors. Should be greater than 1.
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> * k` size.
dist	Optional output distances from the input vectors to the corresponding neighbors. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of `<number_of_samples> * k` size.

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.
