// ANN - approximate nearest neighbor searching
//      ANN is a library for approximate nearest neighbor searching,
//      based on the use of standard and priority search in kd-trees
//      and balanced box-decomposition (bbd) trees. Here are some
//      references to the main algorithmic techniques used here:

//      ANNcoord, ANNdist
//              ANNcoord and ANNdist are the types used for representing
//              point coordinates and distances.  They can be modified by the
//              user, with some care.  It is assumed that they are both numeric
//              types, and that ANNdist is generally of an equal or higher type
//              from ANNcoord.  A variable of type ANNdist should be large
//              enough to store the sum of squared components of a variable
//              of type ANNcoord for the number of dimensions needed in the
//              application.  For example, the following combinations are
//              legal:
//
//              ANNcoord                ANNdist

//      ANNidx
//              ANNidx is a point index.  When the data structure is built, the
//              points are given as an array.  Nearest neighbor results are
//              returned as an integer index into this array.  To make it
//              clearer when this is happening, we define the integer type
//              ANNidx.  Indexing starts from 0.
//              
//              For fixed-radius near neighbor searching, it is possible that
//              there are not k nearest neighbors within the search radius.  To
//              indicate this, the algorithm returns ANN_NULL_IDX as its result.
//              It should be distinguishable from any valid array index.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//      Infinite distance:
//              The code assumes that there is an "infinite distance" which it
//              uses to initialize distances before performing nearest neighbor
//              searches.  It should be as larger or larger than any legitimate
//              nearest neighbor distance.
//

//      Significant digits for tree dumps:

//              are in a ANNcoord, so it can output points to full precision.

// Self match?
//      In some applications, the nearest neighbor of a point is not
//      allowed to be the point itself. This occurs, for example, when
//      computing all nearest neighbors in a set.  By setting the
//      parameter ANN_ALLOW_SELF_MATCH to ANNfalse, the nearest neighbor
//      is the closest point whose distance from the query point is
//      strictly positive.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//      Norms and metrics:
//              ANN supports any Minkowski norm for defining distance.  In
//              particular, for any p >= 1, the L_p Minkowski norm defines the
//              length of a d-vector (v0, v1, ..., v(d-1)) to be
//
//                              (|v0|^p + |v1|^p + ... + |v(d-1)|^p)^(1/p),
//
//              (where ^ denotes exponentiation, and |.| denotes absolute
//              value).  The distance between two points is defined to be the
//              norm of the vector joining them.  Some common distance metrics
//              include
//
//                              Euclidean metric                p = 2
//                              Manhattan metric                p = 1
//                              Max metric                              p = infinity
//
//              In the case of the max metric, the norm is computed by taking
//              the maxima of the absolute values of the components.  ANN is
//              highly "coordinate-based" and does not support general distances
//              functions (e.g. those obeying just the triangle inequality).  It
//              also does not support distance functions based on
//              inner-products.
//
//              For the purpose of computing nearest neighbors, it is not
//              necessary to compute the final power (1/p).  Thus the only
//              component that is used by the program is |v(i)|^p.
//
//              ANN parameterizes the distance computation through the following
//              macros.  (Macros are used rather than procedures for
//              efficiency.) Recall that the distance between two points is
//              given by the length of the vector joining them, and the length
//              or norm of a vector v is given by formula:
//
//                              |v| = ROOT(POW(v0) # POW(v1) # ... # POW(v(d-1)))
//
//              where ROOT, POW are unary functions and # is an associative and
//              commutative binary operator mapping the following types:
//
//                      **      POW:    ANNcoord                                --> ANNdist
//                      **      #:              ANNdist x ANNdist               --> ANNdist
//                      **      ROOT:   ANNdist (>0)                    --> double
//
//              For early termination in distance calculation (partial distance
//              calculation) we assume that POW and # together are monotonically
//              increasing on sequences of arguments, meaning that for all
//              v0..vk and y:
//
//              POW(v0) #...# POW(vk) <= (POW(v0) #...# POW(vk)) # POW(y).
//
//      Incremental Distance Calculation:
//              The program uses an optimized method of computing distances for
//              kd-trees and bd-trees, called incremental distance calculation.
//              It is used when distances are to be updated when only a single
//              coordinate of a point has been changed.  In order to use this,
//              we assume that there is an incremental update function DIFF(x,y)
//              for #, such that if:
//
//                                      s = x0 # ... # xi # ... # xk 
//
//              then if s' is equal to s but with xi replaced by y, that is, 
//              
//                                      s' = x0 # ... # y # ... # xk
//
//              then the length of s' can be computed by:
//
//                                      |s'| = |s| # DIFF(xi,y).
//
//              Thus, if # is + then DIFF(xi,y) is (yi-x).  For the L_infinity
//              norm we make use of the fact that in the program this function
//              is only invoked when y > xi, and hence DIFF(xi,y)=y.
//
//              Finally, for approximate nearest neighbor queries we assume
//              that POW and ROOT are related such that
//
//                                      v*ROOT(x) = ROOT(POW(v)*x)
//
//              Here are the values for the various Minkowski norms:
//
//              L_p:    p even:                                                 p odd:
//                              -------------------------               ------------------------
//                              POW(v)                  = v^p                   POW(v)                  = |v|^p
//                              ROOT(x)                 = x^(1/p)               ROOT(x)                 = x^(1/p)
//                              #                               = +                             #                               = +
//                              DIFF(x,y)               = y - x                 DIFF(x,y)               = y - x 
//
//              L_inf:
//                              POW(v)                  = |v|

//      Array types
//              The following array types are of basic interest.  A point is
//              just a dimensionless array of coordinates, a point array is a
//              dimensionless array of points.  A distance array is a
//              dimensionless array of distances and an index array is a
//              dimensionless array of point indices.  The latter two are used
//              when returning the results of k-nearest neighbor queries.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------

typedef ANNcoord* ANNpoint;                     // a point
typedef ANNpoint* ANNpointArray;        // an array of points 
typedef ANNdist*  ANNdistArray;         // an array of distances 
typedef ANNidx*   ANNidxArray;          // an array of point indices

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//      Basic point and array utilities:
//              The following procedures are useful supplements to ANN's nearest
//              neighbor capabilities.
//
//              annDist():
//                      Computes the (squared) distance between a pair of points.
//                      Note that this routine is not used internally by ANN for
//                      computing distance calculations.  For reasons of efficiency
//                      this is done using incremental distance calculation.  Thus,
//                      this routine cannot be modified as a method of changing the
//                      metric.
//
//              Because points (somewhat like strings in C) are stored as
//              pointers.  Consequently, creating and destroying copies of
//              points may require storage allocation.  These procedures do
//              this.
//
//              annAllocPt() and annDeallocPt():
//                              Allocate a deallocate storage for a single point, and
//                              return a pointer to it.  The argument to AllocPt() is
//                              used to initialize all components.
//
//              annAllocPts() and annDeallocPts():
//                              Allocate and deallocate an array of points as well a
//                              place to store their coordinates, and initializes the
//                              points to point to their respective coordinates.  It
//                              allocates point storage in a contiguous block large
//                              enough to store all the points.  It performs no
//                              initialization.
//
//              annCopyPt():
//                              Creates a copy of a given point, allocating space for
//                              the new point.  It returns a pointer to the newly
//                              allocated copy.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//Overall structure: ANN supports a number of different data structures
//for approximate and exact nearest neighbor searching.  These are:
//
//              ANNbruteForce   A simple brute-force search structure.
//              ANNkd_tree              A kd-tree tree search structure.  ANNbd_tree
//              A bd-tree tree search structure (a kd-tree with shrink
//              capabilities).
//
//              At a minimum, each of these data structures support k-nearest
//              neighbor queries.  The nearest neighbor query, annkSearch,
//              returns an integer identifier and the distance to the nearest
//              neighbor(s) and annRangeSearch returns the nearest points that
//              lie within a given query ball.
//
//              Each structure is built by invoking the appropriate constructor
//              and passing it (at a minimum) the array of points, the total
//              number of points and the dimension of the space.  Each structure
//              is also assumed to support a destructor and member functions
//              that return basic information about the point set.
//
//              Note that the array of points is not copied by the data
//              structure (for reasons of space efficiency), and it is assumed
//              to be constant throughout the lifetime of the search structure.
//
//              The search algorithm, annkSearch, is given the query point (q),
//              and the desired number of nearest neighbors to report (k), and
//              the error bound (eps) (whose default value is 0, implying exact
//              nearest neighbors).  It returns two arrays which are assumed to
//              contain at least k elements: one (nn_idx) contains the indices
//              (within the point array) of the nearest neighbors and the other
//              (dd) contains the squared distances to these nearest neighbors.
//
//              The search algorithm, annkFRSearch, is a fixed-radius kNN
//              search.  In addition to a query point, it is given a (squared)
//              radius bound.  (This is done for consistency, because the search
//              returns distances as squared quantities.) It does two things.
//              First, it computes the k nearest neighbors within the radius
//              bound, and second, it returns the total number of points lying
//              within the radius bound. It is permitted to set k = 0, in which
//              case it effectively answers a range counting query.  If the
//              error bound epsilon is positive, then the search is approximate
//              in the sense that it is free to ignore any point that lies
//              outside a ball of radius r/(1+epsilon), where r is the given
//              (unsquared) radius bound.
//
//              The generic object from which all the search structures are
//              dervied is given below.  It is a virtual object, and is useless
//              by itself.

// kd- and bd-tree splitting and shrinking rules
//              kd-trees supports a collection of different splitting rules.
//              In addition to the standard kd-tree splitting rule proposed
//              by Friedman, Bentley, and Finkel, we have introduced a
//              number of other splitting rules, which seem to perform
//              as well or better (for the distributions we have tested).
//
//              The splitting methods given below allow the user to tailor
//              the data structure to the particular data set.  They are
//              are described in greater details in the kd_split.cc source
//              file.  The method ANN_KD_SUGGEST is the method chosen (rather
//              subjectively) by the implementors as the one giving the
//              fastest performance, and is the default splitting method.
//
//              As with splitting rules, there are a number of different
//              shrinking rules.  The shrinking rule ANN_BD_NONE does no
//              shrinking (and hence produces a kd-tree tree).  The rule
//              ANN_BD_SUGGEST uses the implementors favorite rule.

//      kd-tree:
//              The main search data structure supported by ANN is a kd-tree.
//              The main constructor is given a set of points and a choice of
//              splitting method to use in building the tree.
//
//              Construction:
//              -------------
//              The constructor is given the point array, number of points,
//              dimension, bucket size (default = 1), and the splitting rule
//              (default = ANN_KD_SUGGEST).  The point array is not copied, and
//              is assumed to be kept constant throughout the lifetime of the
//              search structure.  There is also a "load" constructor that
//              builds a tree from a file description that was created by the
//              Dump operation.
//
//              Search:
//              -------
//              There are two search methods:
//
//                      Standard search (annkSearch()):
//                              Searches nodes in tree-traversal order, always visiting
//                              the closer child first.
//                      Priority search (annkPriSearch()):
//                              Searches nodes in order of increasing distance of the
//                              associated cell from the query point.  For many
//                              distributions the standard search seems to work just
//                              fine, but priority search is safer for worst-case
//                              performance.
//
//              Printing:
//              ---------
//              There are two methods provided for printing the tree.  Print()
//              is used to produce a "human-readable" display of the tree, with
//              indenation, which is handy for debugging.  Dump() produces a
//              format that is suitable reading by another program.  There is a
//              "load" constructor, which constructs a tree which is assumed to
//              have been saved by the Dump() procedure.
//              
//              Performance and Structure Statistics:
//              -------------------------------------
//              The procedure getStats() collects statistics information on the
//              tree (its size, height, etc.)  See ANNperf.h for information on
//              the stats structure it returns.
//
//              Internal information:
//              ---------------------
//              The data structure consists of three major chunks of storage.
//              The first (implicit) storage are the points themselves (pts),
//              which have been provided by the users as an argument to the
//              constructor, or are allocated dynamically if the tree is built
//              using the load constructor).  These should not be changed during
//              the lifetime of the search structure.  It is the user's
//              responsibility to delete these after the tree is destroyed.
//
//              The second is the tree itself (which is dynamically allocated in
//              the constructor) and is given as a pointer to its root node
//              (root).  These nodes are automatically deallocated when the tree
//              is deleted.  See the file src/kd_tree.h for further information
//              on the structure of the tree nodes.
//
//              Each leaf of the tree does not contain a pointer directly to a
//              point, but rather contains a pointer to a "bucket", which is an
//              array consisting of point indices.  The third major chunk of
//              storage is an array (pidx), which is a large array in which all
//              these bucket subarrays reside.  (The reason for storing them
//              separately is the buckets are typically small, but of varying
//              sizes.  This was done to avoid fragmentation.)  This array is
//              also deallocated when the tree is deleted.
//
//              In addition to this, the tree consists of a number of other
//              pieces of information which are used in searching and for
//              subsequent tree operations.  These consist of the following:
//
//              dim                                             Dimension of space
//              n_pts                                   Number of points currently in the tree
//              n_max                                   Maximum number of points that are allowed
//                                                              in the tree
//              bkt_size                                Maximum bucket size (no. of points per leaf)
//              bnd_box_lo                              Bounding box low point
//              bnd_box_hi                              Bounding box high point
//              splitRule                               Splitting method used
