nabo is a fast K Nearest Neighbour (KNN) library for low-dimensional spaces. It is a re-implementation in pure Rust of the C++ library of the same name by its original author. This work has been sponsored by Enlightware GmbH.
nabo is no_std compatible.
To use nabo in your project, you need to either:
- Use
nabo::simple_point::SimplePointas your point type. - Implement the
nabo::Pointtrait for your own point type.
If you want to avoid a dependency to rand, disable the rand feature.
In that case, the random generation of point clouds for SimplePoint will not be available.
You can benchmark nabo using the following command:
cargo bench
If you use nabo in the academic context, please cite this paper that evaluates its performances in the context of robotics mapping research:
