[docs]def allocate_vector_points(initial_points=None, lat_range=(-90,90), lon_range=(-180,180), scale=5.0, random_state=None, max_points=10000): """Allocate even coverage of points over a 2d space - for wind vectors. *WARNING* This function is broken/unfinished - do not use. To plot wind vectors in a video, we need an even coverage that moves with the wind. So we need a function that will take a set of wind-vector locations and keep their coverage fairly even, by removing any that have got too close together, and seeding new ones to fill any holes in the coverage. Args: initial points (:obj:`dict`, optional): None (default) or the output from a previous run of this function (see return value). lat_range (:obj:`list`, optional): The latitude range to cover with points. Defaults to (-90,90). lon_range (:obj:`list`, optional): The longitude range to cover with points. Defaults to (-180,180). scale (:obj:`float`): Characteristic separation between points (in degrees). random_state (None|:obj:`int`|:obj:`numpy.random.RandomState`): Random number generation seed, see :func:`sklearn.utils.check_random_state`. max_points (:obj:`int`, optional): Maximum number of points to allocate, defaults to 10,000. Returns: :obj:`dict`: Dictionary with components 'Longitude', 'Latitude', (both arrays of float) and 'Age' (array of int). The first two give the positions of each point, and ther last counts how many times each point has been updated by this function. Raises: StandardError: if max_points is too small - more points than this are needed to cover the region. | """ random_state=sklearn.utils.check_random_state(random_state) cellsize=scale/math.sqrt(2) x_n_cells=int(math.ceil((lon_range[1]-lon_range[0])/cellsize)) y_n_cells=int(math.ceil((lat_range[1]-lat_range[0])/cellsize)) # Point lon & lat to grid indices def grid_coords(x,y): return (int(math.floor((x-lon_range[0])/cellsize)), int(math.floor((y-lat_range[0])/cellsize))) # Block of cells too close to a point def too_close(x,y): centre_cell=grid_coords(x,y) # 5x5 block around the centre cell close_idx=numpy.meshgrid(numpy.arange(centre_cell[0]-2, centre_cell[0]+3), numpy.arange(centre_cell[1]-2, centre_cell[1]+3)) # remove the corners corners=numpy.array((0,4,20,24)) close_idx[0]=numpy.delete(close_idx[0],corners) close_idx[1]=numpy.delete(close_idx[1],corners) # remove any points outside the grid range in_p=numpy.logical_and(close_idx[0]>=0, close_idx[0]<x_n_cells) close_idx[0]=close_idx[0][in_p] close_idx[1]=close_idx[1][in_p] in_p=numpy.logical_and(close_idx[1]>=0, close_idx[1]<y_n_cells) close_idx[0]=close_idx[0][in_p] close_idx[1]=close_idx[1][in_p] return(close_idx) # Try and find a new point close to a seed point def find_new(x,y): sub_s=random_state.randint(len(sample_cache_x),size=100) for samp in sub_s: if (x+sample_cache_x[samp]*scale<lon_range[0] or x+sample_cache_x[samp]*scale>lon_range[1] or y+sample_cache_y[samp]*scale<lat_range[0] or y+sample_cache_y[samp]*scale>lat_range[1]): continue gc=grid_coords(x+sample_cache_x[samp]*scale, y+sample_cache_y[samp]*scale) if(occupied[gc[0],gc[1]]==0): return (x+sample_cache_x[samp]*scale, y+sample_cache_y[samp]*scale) return None # Store the allocated points in a dictionary allocated={'Latitude': numpy.zeros([max_points],float), 'Longitude':numpy.zeros([max_points],float), 'Age': numpy.zeros([max_points],int)} n_allocated=0 # Nothing in it yet # Store the culled points similarly culled={'Latitude': numpy.zeros([max_points],float), 'Longitude':numpy.zeros([max_points],float), 'Age': numpy.zeros([max_points],int)} n_culled=0 # Nothing in it yet active=numpy.zeros([max_points]) # Grid marking occupied cells occupied=numpy.zeros([x_n_cells,y_n_cells]) # 0=free cell # Insert the initial points, rejecting any that overlap if initial_points is not None: for init_i in range(0,len(initial_points['Age'])): if initial_points['Latitude'][init_i] < lat_range[0] or\ initial_points['Latitude'][init_i] > lat_range[1]: continue if initial_points['Longitude'][init_i] < lon_range[0] or\ initial_points['Longitude'][init_i] > lon_range[1]: continue cdrs=grid_coords(initial_points['Longitude'][init_i], initial_points['Latitude'][init_i]) if occupied[cdrs[0],cdrs[1]]!=0: continue # reject # Add it to the newly allocated list allocated['Latitude'][n_allocated]=initial_points['Latitude'][init_i] allocated['Longitude'][n_allocated]=initial_points['Longitude'][init_i] allocated['Age'][n_allocated]=initial_points['Age'][init_i]+1 # Mark the region around it as occupied tc=too_close(initial_points['Longitude'][init_i], initial_points['Latitude'][init_i]) occupied[tc[0],tc[1]]=1 active[n_allocated]=1 # Seed new points from this one n_allocated +=1 if n_allocated>max_points: raise Exception("Insufficient wind points") # Add a seed point if there were no initial points if n_allocated==0: seed_x=lon_range[0]*.9+lon_range[1]*.1 seed_y=lat_range[0]*.9+lat_range[1]*.1 allocated['Longitude'][n_allocated]=seed_x allocated['Latitude'][n_allocated]=seed_y allocated['Age'][n_allocated]=0 tc=too_close(seed_x,seed_y) occupied[tc[0],tc[1]]=1 active[n_allocated]=1 # Seed new points from this one n_allocated +=1 # Fill in remaining space with Bridson's method while len(numpy.where(active==1)[0])>0: current=min(numpy.where(active==1)[0]) new_point=find_new(allocated['Longitude'][current], allocated['Latitude'][current]) if new_point is None: active[current]=0 continue allocated['Longitude'][n_allocated]=new_point[0] allocated['Latitude'][n_allocated]=new_point[1] allocated['Age'][n_allocated]=0 tc=too_close(new_point[0],new_point[1]) occupied[tc[0],tc[1]]=1 active[n_allocated]=1 n_allocated +=1 if n_allocated>max_points: raise Exception("Insufficient wind points") return {'Longitude': allocated['Longitude'][0:n_allocated], 'Latitude': allocated['Latitude'][0:n_allocated], 'Age': allocated['Age'][0:n_allocated]}
