SciPy Spatial Data
This lesson is part of SciPy · All levels
Summary
It contains algorithms for spatially dimensional data, such as calculations of distance between dots, convex hulls, and Voronoi space division. The DistanceMetric module provides various distance metrics, such as the Euclidean distance and Manhattan. The tool is widely used in cluster analysis and geographic coordinate processing.
Key points
- Deals with geometric and distance operations
- Cdist and pdist calculate the distance between sets of dots
- The convex hull is the smallest polygon that contains the entire point
- Distance metrics can be selected according to the needs of the analysis
