As a popular spatial operation, the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) query is widely used in various spatial application systems. How to efficiently process a kNN query on spatial big data has always been an important research topic in the field of spatial data management. The centralized solutions are not suitable for spatial big data due to their poor scalability, while the existing distributed solutions are not efficient enough to meet the high real-time requirements of some spatial applications. Therefore, we introduce the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control technology into kNN query processing and propose a PID-based kNN query processing algorithm (PIDKNN) for spatial big data based on Spark. In this algorithm, the whole data space is divided into grid cells of the same size using the grid partition method, and the grid-based index is constructed. On this basis, the grid-based density peak clustering algorithm is used to cluster spatial data, and the corresponding PID parameters are set for each cluster. When performing kNN queries, the PID algorithm is used to estimate the radius growth step size of kNN queries, thereby realizing kNN query processing with a variable query radius growth step based on a feedback mechanism, which greatly improves the efficiency of kNN query processing. A series of experimental results show that the PIDKNN algorithm has good performance and scalability and is superior to the existing parallel kNN query processing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
