ABSTRACT:
A method of approximating a nearest neighbor includes identifying a target value in an image; selecting a range about the target value; analyzing each neighboring value to determine if the neighboring value is within the range; and expanding the range until a neighboring value is determined to be the neighboring value closest to the target value.
