Description : Approximate Nearest Neighbor Searching library
ANN is a library written in C++, which supports data structures and
algorithms for both exact and approximate nearest neighbor searching
in arbitrarily high dimensions. ANN assumes that distances
are measured using any class of distance functions called Minkowski
metrics. These include the well known Euclidean distance, Manhattan
distance, and max distance. ANN performs quite efficiently for point
sets ranging in size from thousands to hundreds of thousands, and in
dimensions as high as 20.
The necessary autotools support (autoconf, automake, and libtool) has been
added to this package, in order to generate a shared library, thanks to the
initial work done by Alexander Bornik. This package will eventually become
a dependency of the octave-ann package (not yet released, see Bug#480760).
