Re:Using k-d trees to efficiently calculate nearest neighbor... by geophile on Sunday February 11, 2018 @11:02PM (#16356441)
No, that's not what I mean.

A point is represented by a z-value at the resolution of space.

A non-point is approximated by multiple z-values, at varying resolutions. You can trade the accuracy of the approximation against the number of z-values.

I explained the NN algorithm in another comment on this thread. It shouldn't matter if some of the adjacent z-values are actually from the approximation of the same object.
