scipy.spatial.distance.directed_hausdorff(u, v, rng=0)[source]#

Compute the directed Hausdorff distance between two 2-D arrays.

Distances between pairs are calculated using a Euclidean metric.

Parameters:

u(M,N) array_like

Input array with M points in N dimensions.

v(O,N) array_like

Input array with O points in N dimensions.

rngint or numpy.random.Generator or None, optional

Pseudorandom number generator state. Default is 0 so the shuffling of u and v is reproducible.

If rng is passed by keyword, types other than numpy.random.Generator are passed to numpy.random.default_rng to instantiate a Generator. If rng is already a Generator instance, then the provided instance is used.

If this argument is passed by position or seed is passed by keyword, legacy behavior for the argument seed applies:

• If seed is None, a new RandomState instance is used. The state is initialized using data from /dev/urandom (or the Windows analogue) if available or from the system clock otherwise.
• If seed is an int, a new RandomState instance is used, seeded with seed.
• If seed is already a Generator or RandomState instance, then that instance is used.

Changed in version 1.15.0: As part of the SPEC-007transition from use of numpy.random.RandomState tonumpy.random.Generator, this keyword was changed from seed to rng. For an interim period, both keywords will continue to work, although only one may be specified at a time. After the interim period, function calls using the seed keyword will emit warnings. The behavior of both _seed_and rng are outlined above, but only the rng keyword should be used in new code.

Returns:

ddouble

The directed Hausdorff distance between arrays u and v,

index_1int

index of point contributing to Hausdorff pair in u

index_2int

index of point contributing to Hausdorff pair in v

Raises:

ValueError

An exception is thrown if u and v do not have the same number of columns.

Notes

Uses the early break technique and the random sampling approach described by [1]. Although worst-case performance is O(m * o)(as with the brute force algorithm), this is unlikely in practice as the input data would have to require the algorithm to explore every single point interaction, and after the algorithm shuffles the input points at that. The best case performance is O(m), which is satisfied by selecting an inner loop distance that is less than cmax and leads to an early break as often as possible. The authors have formally shown that the average runtime is closer to O(m).

Added in version 0.19.0.
