This paper describes a novel method which extends the search algorithm of a k-d tree for aligning and merging range images. If the nearest neighbor point is far from a query, many...
A reverse nearest neighbor (RNN) query returns the data objects that have a query point as their nearest neighbor (NN). Although such queries have been studied quite extensively in...

In this paper we present a novel technique for nearest neighbor searching dubbed neighborhood approximation. The central idea is to divide the database into compact regions repres...
Given two sets of points P and Q, a group nearest neighbor (GNN) query retrieves the point(s) of P with the smallest sum of distances to all points in Q. Consider, for instance, t...
Nearest neighbour search (NNS) is an old problem that is of practical importance in a number of fields. It involves finding, for a given point q, called the query, one or more po...
