Nearest neighbor search on Earth's surface with a GPU
Project description
Vincenty nearest neighbor search using CUDA
Nearest neighbor search algorithm on Earth's surface that runs on a GPU and uses Vincenty's formula
Application
Nearest Neighbour Search is the key component of location data analysis:
- Nearest Neighbour Index is based on measuring distances between points
- Both global pattern analysis algorithms (Global Moran’s I, Getis-Ord General G), as well as local pattern analysis algorithms (Anselin Local Moran's I, Getis Ord GI *) with the k-nn approach to define neighbours are based on measuring distances between points
Using Vincenty’s formula allows performing location analysis on any location using geographic coordinates.
Requirements
- CUDA-enabled GPU with compute capability 2.0 or above with an up-to-data Nvidia driver.
- CUDA toolkit
Installation
pip install vincenty-cuda-nns
Usage example
import geopandas as gpd
import numpy as np
from vincenty_cuda_nns import CudaTree
df = gpd.read_file('points.geojson')
# data is array of points like [longitude, latitude]
data = np.stack(df['geometry']).astype(np.float32)
# build tree for the data
cuda_tree = CudaTree(data, leaf_size=4)
# query over the tree for nearest neighbor (including itself)
distances, indices = cuda_tree.query(n_neighbors=2)
