Python/NumPy implementation of the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm (Ramer 1972; Douglas and Peucker 1973) for 2D and 3D data.
The Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm is an algorithm for reducing the number of points in a curve that is approximated by a series of points.
Installation
pip install rdpUsage
Simple pythonic interface:
from rdp import rdp
rdp([[1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 3], [4, 4]])[[1, 1], [4, 4]]With epsilon=0.5:
rdp([[1, 1], [1, 1.1], [2, 2]], epsilon=0.5)[[1.0, 1.0], [2.0, 2.0]]Numpy interface:
import numpy as np
from rdp import rdp
rdp(np.array([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4]).reshape(4, 2))array([[1, 1],
[4, 4]])Links
