Parameters:

lons – A numpy array of longitudes. Can be 1D or 2D.
lats – Numpy array of latitudes. The array must be of the same shape as lons.
depths – Either None, which means that all points the mesh consists of are lying on the earth surface (have zero depth) or numpy array of the same shape as previous two.

Mesh object can also be created from a collection of points, see from_points_list().

DIST_TOLERANCE = 0.005#: Tolerance level to be used in various spatial operations when approximation is required – set to 5 meters.

Returns:: Two-dimensional numpy array, square matrix of distances. The matrix has zeros on main diagonal and positive distances in kilometers on all other cells. That is, value in cell (3, 5) is the distance between mesh’s points 3 and 5 in km, and it is equal to value in cell (5, 3).

Uses openquake.hazardlib.geo.geodetic.geodetic_distance().

The length of each mesh column is computed (summing up the cell widths in a same column), and the mean value (weighted by the mean cell length in each column) is returned.

get_middle_point()[source]#

Return the middle point of the mesh.

Returns:: An instance of Point.

The middle point is taken from the middle row and a middle column of the mesh if there are odd number of both. Otherwise the geometric mean point of two or four middle points.

triangulate()[source]#

Convert mesh points to vectors in Cartesian space.

Returns:

Tuple of four elements, each being 2d numpy array of 3d vectors (the same structure and shape as the mesh itself). Those arrays are:

points vectors,
vectors directed from each point (excluding the last column) to the next one in a same row →,
vectors directed from each point (excluding the first row) to the previous one in a same column ↑,
vectors pointing from a bottom left point of each mesh cell to top right one ↗.

Module openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils contains functions that are common to several geographical primitives and some other low-level spatial operations.

exception openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.BBoxError[source]#

Bases: ValueError

Bounding box too large

class openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.OrthographicProjection(west, east, north, south)[source]#

Bases: object

Callable OrthographicProjection object that can perform both forward and reverse projection (converting from longitudes and latitudes to x and y values on 2d-space and vice versa). The call takes three arguments: first two are numpy arrays of longitudes and latitudes or abscissae and ordinates of points to project and the third one is a boolean that allows to choose what operation is requested – is it forward or reverse one. True value given to third positional argument (or keyword argument “reverse”) indicates that the projection of points in 2d space back to earth surface is needed. The default value for “reverse” argument is False, which means forward projection (degrees to kilometers).

Raises ValueError in forward projection mode if any of the target points is further than 90 degree (along the great circle arc) from the projection center.

Parameters are given as floats, representing decimal degrees (first two are longitudes and last two are latitudes). They define a bounding box in a spherical coordinates of the collection of points that is about to be projected. The center point of the projection (coordinates (0, 0) in Cartesian space) is set to the middle point of that bounding box. The resulting projection is defined for spherical coordinates that are not further from the bounding box center than 90 degree on the great circle arc.

The result projection is of type Orthographic. This projection is prone to distance, area and angle distortions everywhere outside of the center point, but still can be used for checking shapes: verifying if line intersects itself (like in line_intersects_itself()) or if point is inside of a polygon (like in openquake.hazardlib.geo.polygon.Polygon.discretize()). It can be also used for measuring distance to an extent of around 700 kilometers (error doesn’t exceed 1 km up until then).

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.geolocate(lonlats, geom_df, exclude=())[source]#

Parameters:

lonlats – array of shape (N, 2) of (lon, lat)
geom_df – DataFrame of geometries keyed by a “code” field

Returns:

codes associated to the points

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.get_bounding_box(obj, maxdist)[source]#

Return the dilated bounding box of a geometric object.

Parameters:

obj – an object with method .get_bounding_box, or with an attribute .polygon or a list of locations
maxdist – maximum distance in km

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.get_dist(array, point)[source]#

Parameters:

array – an array of shape (3,) or (N, 3)
point – an array of shape (3)

Returns:

distances(s) from the reference point

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.get_middle_point(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2)[source]#

Given two points return the point exactly in the middle lying on the same great circle arc.

Parameters are point coordinates in degrees.

Returns:: Tuple of longitude and latitude of the point in the middle.

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.get_spherical_bounding_box(lons, lats)[source]#

Given a collection of points find and return the bounding box, as a pair of longitudes and a pair of latitudes.

Parameters define longitudes and latitudes of a point collection respectively in a form of lists or numpy arrays.

Returns:: A tuple of four items. These items represent western, eastern, northern and southern borders of the bounding box respectively. Values are floats in decimal degrees.
Raises:: ValueError – If points collection has the longitudinal extent of more than 180 degrees (it is impossible to define a single hemisphere bound to poles that would contain the whole collection).

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.line_intersects_itself(lons, lats, closed_shape=False)[source]#

Return True if line of points intersects itself. Line with the last point repeating the first one considered intersecting itself.

The line is defined by lists (or numpy arrays) of points’ longitudes and latitudes (depth is not taken into account).

Parameters:: closed_shape – If True the line will be checked twice: first time with its original shape and second time with the points sequence being shifted by one point (the last point becomes first, the first turns second and so on). This is useful for checking that the sequence of points defines a valid Polygon.

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.min_distance(xyz, xyzs)[source]#

Parameters:

xyz – an array of shape (3,)
xyzs – an array of shape (N, 3)

Returns:

the minimum euclidean distance between the point and the points

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.normalized(vector)[source]#

Get unit vector for a given one.

Parameters:: vector – Numpy vector as coordinates in Cartesian space, or an array of such.
Returns:: Numpy array of the same shape and structure where all vectors are normalized. That is, each coordinate component is divided by its vector’s length.

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.plane_fit(points)[source]#

This fits an n-dimensional plane to a set of points. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12299540/plane-fitting-to-4-or-more-xyz-points

Parameters:: points – An instance of :class:~numpy.ndarray. The number of columns must be equal to three.
Returns:: A point on the plane and the normal to the plane.

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.point_to_polygon_distance(polygon, pxx, pyy)[source]#

Calculate the distance to polygon for each point of the collection on the 2d Cartesian plane.

Parameters:

polygon – Shapely “Polygon” geometry object.
pxx – List or numpy array of abscissae values of points to calculate the distance from.
pyy – Same structure as pxx, but with ordinate values.

Returns:

Numpy array of distances in units of coordinate system. Points that lie inside the polygon have zero distance.

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.project_direct(lambda0, phi0, lons, lats)[source]#

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.project_reverse(lambda0, phi0, lons, lats)[source]#

openquake.hazardlib.geo.utils.triangle_area(e1, e2, e3)[source]#
