Detailed Description

template<class TKdTree>
class itk::Statistics::KdTreeBasedKmeansEstimator< TKdTree >

fast k-means algorithm implementation using k-d tree structure

It returns k mean vectors that are centroids of k-clusters using pre-generated k-d tree. k-d tree generation is done by the WeightedCentroidKdTreeGenerator. The tree construction needs to be done only once. The resulting k-d tree's non-terminal nodes that have their children nodes have vector sums of measurement vectors that belong to the nodes and the number of measurement vectors in addition to the typical node boundary information and pointers to children nodes. Instead of reassigning every measurement vector to the nearest cluster centroid and recalculating centroid, it maintain a set of cluster centroid candidates and using pruning algorithm that utilizes k-d tree, it updates the means of only relevant candidates at each iterations. It would be faster than traditional implementation of k-means algorithm. However, the k-d tree consumes a large amount of memory. The tree construction time and pruning algorithm's performance are important factors to the whole process's performance. If users want to use k-d tree for some purpose other than k-means estimation, they can use the KdTreeGenerator instead of the WeightedCentroidKdTreeGenerator. It will save the tree construction time and memory usage.

Note: There is a second implementation of k-means algorithm in ITK under the While the Kd tree based implementation is more time efficient, the GLA/LBG based algorithm is more memory efficient.
