Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Nearest Neighbor (NN) search plays important roles in example-based Computer Vision algorithms. Accelerating NN search in very high-dimensional space, however, has a limitation, because of curse of dimensionality. For avoiding this problem, approximate NN search algorithms have been proposed. The most popular one is ANN which is basically a kd-tree based search algorithm with a feasible error. Recently, Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is getting highlighted, because of its theoretical basis providing a clear relationship between the accuracy and the computational complexity. An improved hash based search algorithm, Principal Component Hashing (PCH), has been proposed, which is faster than ANN and LSH at the same accuracy without producing any search failures. However, most NN search algorithms share the limitations that 1) start-up time is mainly consumed for loading the data onto the memory, and 2) NN search for huge data cannot be executed, because the main memory size is limited. For solving this problem, we propose an external NN search algorithm which directly finds the approximate NN data on HDD based on PCH algorithm. The basic idea is simple. By replacing the hash bins on a projection axis by a file having B+ tree structure, we can realize memory efficient PCH which works on HDD. In the experiment, we confirmed that the algorithm can perform NN search on huge database, which cannot be loaded on main memory. Also, we noticed that the search algorithm gains unexpected acceleration by the cashing mechanism of Linux operating system that frequently accessed data on HDD is kept on the memory.
