查找二维数据集的凸包

日期2007-08-16 (最后修改)，2007-08-16 (创建)

注意：您可能希望使用 scipy.spatial.ConvexHull 而不是此方法。

此代码查找描述围绕一组二维数据点的凸包的点子集。该代码可以选择使用 pylab 来动画显示其进度。

    '''calculate area of any triangle given co-ordinates of the corners'''
    return n.linalg.norm(n.cross((p2 - p1), (p3 - p1)))/2.


def convex_hull(points, graphic=True, smidgen=0.0075):
    '''Calculate subset of points that make a convex hull around points

Recursively eliminates points that lie inside two neighbouring points until only convex hull is remaining.

:Parameters:
    points : ndarray (2 x m)
        array of points for which to find hull
    graphic : bool
        use pylab to show progress?
    smidgen : float
        offset for graphic number labels - useful values depend on your data range

:Returns:
    hull_points : ndarray (2 x n)
        convex hull surrounding points
