Hello,
It seems that many people are using ANN, for finding nearest neighbor.
For instance the ROS's pcl does so. However, albeit ANN is C++, it is
not templatised on the scalar type and requires a recompilation for
changing the latter, or for changing any other parameter, such as
self-match inclusion/exclusion. Moreover, it does not provide caching
(as proposed by [2]).
I would like to know if any of you is aware of an ongoing project to
modernise ANN, for instance by templating over the scalar type. At some
point, I might be interested to do so here at ASL, but I would like to
avoid duplication and to allow a community-wide discussion before.
Thank you, kind regards,
Stéphane
