ocl::KNearestNeighbour

class ocl::KNearestNeighbour : public ocl::CvKNearest

The class implements K-Nearest Neighbors model as described in the beginning of this section.

ocl::KNearestNeighbour

Computes the weighted sum of two arrays.

class CV_EXPORTS KNearestNeighbour: public CvKNearest
{
public:
    KNearestNeighbour();
    ~KNearestNeighbour();

    bool train(const Mat& trainData, Mat& labels, Mat& sampleIdx = Mat().setTo(Scalar::all(0)),
        bool isRegression = false, int max_k = 32, bool updateBase = false);

    void clear();

    void find_nearest(const oclMat& samples, int k, oclMat& lables);

private:
    /* hidden */
};

ocl::KNearestNeighbour::train

Trains the model.

C++: bool ocl::KNearestNeighbour::train(const Mat& trainData, Mat& labels, Mat& sampleIdx=Mat().setTo(Scalar::all(0)), bool isRegression=false, int max_k=32, bool updateBase=false)

Parameters:

• 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.

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.

ocl::KNearestNeighbour::find_nearest

Finds the neighbors and predicts responses for input vectors.

C++: void ocl::KNearestNeighbour::find_nearest(const oclMat& samples, int k, oclMat& lables)

Parameters:

• samples – Input samples stored by rows. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of size.
• k – Number of used nearest neighbors. It must satisfy constraint: CvKNearest::get_max_k().
• labels – 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.

ocl::kmeans

Finds centers of clusters and groups input samples around the clusters.

C++: double ocl::kmeans(const oclMat& src, int K, oclMat& bestLabels, TermCriteria criteria, int attemps, int flags, oclMat& centers)

Parameters:

• src – Floating-point matrix of input samples, one row per sample.
• K – Number of clusters to split the set by.
• bestLabels – Input/output integer array that stores the cluster indices for every sample.
• criteria – The algorithm termination criteria, that is, the maximum number of iterations and/or the desired accuracy. The accuracy is specified as criteria.epsilon. As soon as each of the cluster centers moves by less than criteria.epsilon on some iteration, the algorithm stops.
• attempts – Flag to specify the number of times the algorithm is executed using different initial labellings. The algorithm returns the labels that yield the best compactness (see the last function parameter).
• flags –

  Flag that can take the following values:

  • KMEANS_RANDOM_CENTERS Select random initial centers in each attempt.
  • KMEANS_PP_CENTERS Use kmeans++ center initialization by Arthur and Vassilvitskii [Arthur2007].
  • KMEANS_USE_INITIAL_LABELS During the first (and possibly the only) attempt, use the user-supplied labels instead of computing them from the initial centers. For the second and further attempts, use the random or semi-random centers. Use one of KMEANS_*_CENTERS flag to specify the exact method.
• centers – Output matrix of the cluster centers, one row per each cluster center.

ocl::distanceToCenters

For each samples in source, find its closest neighour in centers.

C++: void ocl::distanceToCenters(const oclMat& src, const oclMat& centers, Mat& dists, Mat& labels, int distType=NORM_L2SQR)

Parameters:

• src – Floating-point matrix of input samples. One row per sample.
• centers – Floating-point matrix of center candidates. One row per center.
• distType – Distance metric to calculate distances. Supports NORM_L1 and NORM_L2SQR.
• dists – The output distances calculated from each sample to the best matched center.
• labels – The output index of best matched center for each row of sample.

The method is a utility function which maybe used for multiple clustering algorithms such as K-means.
