KDTree Implementation in Java

JavaData StructuresKdtree

Java Problem Overview


I'm looking for a KDTree implementation in Java.
I've done a google search and the results seem pretty haphazard. There are actually lots of results, but they're mostly just little one-off implementations, and I'd rather find something with a little more "production value". Something like apache collections or the excellent C5 collection library for .NET. Something where I can see the public bug tracker and check to see when the last SVN commit happened. Also, in an ideal world, I'd find a nice well-designed API for spatial data structures, and the KDTree would be just one class in that library.

For this project, I'll only be working in either 2 or 3 dimensions, and I'm mostly just interested in a good nearest-neighbors implementation.

Java Solutions


Solution 1 - Java

In the book Algorithms in a Nutshell there is a kd tree implementation in java along with a few variations. All of the code is on oreilly.com and the book itself also walk you through the algorithm so you could build one yourself.

Solution 2 - Java

for future seekers. Java-ml library has a kd-tree implementation that work fine. http://java-ml.sourceforge.net/

Solution 3 - Java

I've had success with Professor Levy's implementation found here. I realize you're looking for a more production-certified implementation so this is probably not a good fit.

However note to any passers-by, I've been using it for a while now in my photomosaic project with no issues. No guarantee but better than nothing :)

Solution 4 - Java

I created a KD-Tree implementation as part of an offline reverse geocoding library

https://github.com/AReallyGoodName/OfflineReverseGeocode

Solution 5 - Java

Maybe Nearest Neighbor Search and KD-trees from the Stony-Brook algorithm repository can help.

Solution 6 - Java

This is a full implementation for KD-Tree, I have used some libraries to store point and rectangle. These libraries are freely available. It is possible to do with these classes my making your own classes to store point and rectangle. Please share your feedback.

Solution 7 - Java

There is also [JTS Topology Suite][1]

The KdTree implementation only provides range search (no nearest-neighbors).

If nearest-neighbor is your thing look at [STRtree][2]

Solution 8 - Java

You are correct, there are not that many sites with kd implementation for java! anyways, kd tree is basically a binary search tree which a median value typically is calculated each time for that dimension. Here is simple KDNode and in terms of nearest neighbor method or full implementation take a look at this github project. It was the best one I could find for you. Hope this helps you.

private class KDNode {
    KDNode left;
    KDNode right;
    E val;
    int depth;
    private KDNode(E e, int depth){
    this.left = null;
    this.right = null;
    this.val = e;
    this.depth = depth;
}
