In this paper we consider fast nearest-neighbor search techniques based on the projections of Voronoi regions. The Voronoi diagram of a given set of points provides an implicit geometric interpretation of nearest-neighbor search and serves as an important basis for several proximity search algorithm

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we provide an overview of fast nearest-neighbor search algorithms based on an &approxima-tion}elimination' framework under a class of elimination rules, namely, partial distance elimination, hypercube elimination and absolute-error-inequality elimination derived from approximations of Euclidean distance. Previous algorithms based on these elimination rules are reviewed in the context of approximation}elimination search. The main emphasis in this paper is a comparative study of these elimination constraints with reference to their approximation}elimination e$ciency set within di!erent approximation schemes.

Classifying an unknown input is a fundamental problem in Pattern Recognition. One standard method is "nding its nearest neighbors in a reference set. It would be very time consuming if computed feature by feature for all templates in the reference set; this namK ve method is O(nd) where n is the num
