Description

create_class_knncreate_class_knnCreateClassKnnCreateClassKnnCreateClassKnn creates a k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) data structure. This can be either used to classify data or to approximately locate nearest neighbors in a NumDimNumDimNumDimNumDimnumDim-dimensional space.

Most of the operators described in Classification/K-Nearest-Neighbor use the resulting handle KNNHandleKNNHandleKNNHandleKNNHandleKNNHandle.

The k-NN classifies by searching approximately the nearest neighbors and returning their classes as result. With the used approximation, the search time is logarithmically to the number of samples and dimensions.

The dimension of the feature vectors is the only parameter that necessarily has to be set in NumDimNumDimNumDimNumDimnumDim.

Execution Information

This operator returns a handle. Note that the state of an instance of this handle type may be changed by specific operators even though the handle is used as an input parameter by those operators.

Parameters

NumDimNumDimNumDimNumDimnumDim (input_control)  number-array HTupleHTupleHtuple (integer) (int / long) (Hlong) (Hlong)

Number of dimensions of the feature.

Default value: 10

KNNHandleKNNHandleKNNHandleKNNHandleKNNHandle (output_control)  class_knn HClassKnn, HTupleHTupleHtuple (handle) (IntPtr) (HHandle) (handle)

Handle of the k-NN classifier.

Result

If the parameters are valid, the operator create_class_knncreate_class_knnCreateClassKnnCreateClassKnnCreateClassKnn returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If necessary, an exception is raised.
