Implementing Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search with KD-Trees

PyImageSearch

One of the most effective methods to perform ANN search is to use KD-Trees (K-Dimensional Trees). KD-Trees are a type of binary search tree that partitions data points into k-dimensional space, allowing for efficient querying of nearest neighbors. Traditional exact nearest neighbor search methods (e.g.,
