Abstract K-nearest neighbor(KNN) classification is simple, efficient and widely used for classification problems or as a base of comparison. However, the data, especially those with complex high-dimensional structures, do not always belong to the Euclidean space in practical application. How to select the features of samples and calculate the distances between them is a hard problem in KNN. With full consideration of various factors, a multi-covariance Lie-KNN classification method is put forward based on the image region covariance. In this method, the simplicity and the validity of KNN and the abilities of Lie group structure to represent complex data and calculate distances are fully used. It effectively solves the classification problems of complex high-dimensional data. Experimental results on handwritten numerals verify its effectiveness.
