Detailed Description

template<class InputT>
class shark::BinaryTree< InputT >

Super class of binary space-partitioning trees.

: This class represents a generic node in a binary space-partitioning tree. At each junction the space cell represented by the parent node is split into sub-cells by thresholding a real-valued function. Different sub-classes implement different such functions. The absolute value of the function minus the threshold m_threshold must represent the distance to the separating hyper-surface in the underlying metric. This allows for linear separation, but also for kernel-induced feature spaces and other embeddings.

Member Function Documentation

◆ distanceFromPlane()

template<class InputT>

double shark::BinaryTree< InputT >::distanceFromPlane ( value_type const & point ) const

inline

Function describing the separation of space.

: This function is shifted by subtracting the threshold from the virtual function "funct" (which acts as a "decision" function to split space into sub-cells). The result of this function describes "signed" distance to the separation boundary, and the two cells are thresholded at zero. We obtain the two cells:
left ("negative") cell: {x | distance(x) < 0}
right ("positive") cell {x | distance(x) >= 0}

◆ funct()

template<class InputT>

virtual double shark::BinaryTree< InputT >::funct ( value_type const & point ) const

protectedpure virtual

Function describing the separation of space.

: This is the primary interface for customizing sub-classes.

: This function splits the space represented by the node by thresholding at m_threshold. The "negative" cell, represented in the "left" sub-node, represents the space {x | funct(x) < threshold}. The "positive" cell, represented by the "right" sub-node, represents {x | funct(x) >= threshold}. The function needs to be normalized such that |f(x) - f(y)| is the distance between {z | f(z) = f(x)} and {z | f(z) = f(y)}, w.r.t. the distance function also used by the virtual function squaredDistanceLowerBound. The exact distance function does not matter as long as the same distance function is used in both cases.
