Abstract

k-Nearest Neighbor Search approach has been used extensively in many fields like computer graphics, data mining, pattern recognition, image processing etc. The k-NN Search approach presented in this paper was realized parallel on GPU architecture with KD-Tree data structure. Experiments show that this approach runs tens of times faster than traditional serial search. This work could be used to speed up photon mapping calculations in real time computer graphics.
