BoundingVolumeHierarchy

class BoundingVolumeHierarchy(*args)

Bounding Volume Hierarchy to speed-up point location.

This spatial data structure helps to find the simplex containing a given point.

Available constructors:

BoundingVolumeHierarchy(points, simplices)

BoundingVolumeHierarchy(points, simplices, binNumber)

BoundingVolumeHierarchy(points, simplices, binNumber, strategy)

Parameters:

points2-d sequence of float

Points.

simplicesIndicesCollection

Simplices.

binNumberint

Maximum number of simplices stored in tree leaves. By default, it is equal to the value defined through the key BoundingVolumeHierarchy-BinNumber of the ResourceMap.

strategystr

Node splitting strategy. Valid values are: Mean and Median. By default, it is equal to the value defined through the key BoundingVolumeHierarchy-Strategy of the ResourceMap (Mean).

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> mesher = ot.IntervalMesher([5, 10])
>>> lowerbound = [0.0, 0.0]
>>> upperBound = [2.0, 4.0]
>>> interval = ot.Interval(lowerbound, upperBound)
>>> mesh = mesher.build(interval)
>>> locator = ot.BoundingVolumeHierarchy(mesh.getVertices(), mesh.getSimplices())
>>> simplex = locator.query([0.1, 0.2])
