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
samplesInput samples stored by rows. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of <number_of_samples> * k size.
kNumber of used nearest neighbors. Should be greater than 1.
resultsVector with results of prediction (regression or classification) for each input sample. It is a single-precision floating-point vector with <number_of_samples> elements.
neighborResponsesOptional output values for corresponding neighbors. It is a single- precision floating-point matrix of <number_of_samples> * k size.
distOptional 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.
