verde.VectorSpline2D

class verde.VectorSpline2D(poisson=0.5, mindist=10000.0, damping=None, force_coords=None, engine='auto')[source]

Elastically coupled interpolation of 2-component vector data.

This gridder assumes Cartesian coordinates.

Uses the Green’s functions based on elastic deformation from [SandwellWessel2016]. The interpolation is done by estimating point forces that generate an elastic deformation that fits the observed vector data. The deformation equations are based on a 2D elastic sheet with a constant Poisson’s ratio. The data can then be predicted at any desired location.

The east and north data components are coupled through the elastic deformation equations. This coupling is controlled by the Poisson’s ratio, which is usually between -1 and 1. The special case of Poisson’s ratio -1 leads to an uncoupled interpolation, meaning that the east and north components don’t interfere with each other.

The point forces are traditionally placed under each data point. The force locations are set the first time fit is called. Subsequent calls will fit using the same force locations as the first call. This configuration results in an exact prediction at the data points but can be unstable.

[SandwellWessel2016] stabilize the solution using Singular Value Decomposition but we use ridge regression instead. The regularization can be controlled using the damping argument. Alternatively, you can specify the position of the forces manually using the force_coords argument. Regularization or forces not coinciding with data points will result in a least-squares estimate, not an exact solution. Note that the least-squares solution is required for data weights to have any effect.

Before fitting, the Jacobian (design, sensitivity, feature, etc) matrix for the spline is normalized using sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler without centering the mean so that the transformation can be undone in the estimated forces.

Parameters:
poisson : float

The Poisson’s ratio for the elastic deformation Green’s functions. Default is 0.5. A value of -1 will lead to uncoupled interpolation of the east and north data components.

mindist : float

A minimum distance between the point forces and data points. Needed because the Green’s functions are singular when forces and data points coincide. Acts as a fudge factor. A good rule of thumb is to use the average spacing between data points.

damping : None or float

The positive damping regularization parameter. Controls how much smoothness is imposed on the estimated forces. If None, no regularization is used.

force_coords : None or tuple of arrays

The easting and northing coordinates of the point forces. If None (default), then will be set to the data coordinates the first time fit is called.

engine : str

Computation engine for the Jacobian matrix. Can be 'auto', 'numba', or 'numpy'. If 'auto', will use numba if it is installed or numpy otherwise. The numba version is multi-threaded and considerably faster, which makes fitting and predicting faster.
Attributes:
forces_ : array

The estimated forces that fit the observed data.

region_ : tuple

The boundaries ([W, E, S, N]) of the data used to fit the interpolator. Used as the default region for the grid and scatter methods.

Examples using verde.VectorSpline2D

VectorSpline2D.filter(coordinates, data, weights=None)

Filter the data through the gridder and produce residuals.

Calls fit on the data, evaluates the residuals (data - predicted data), and returns the coordinates, residuals, and weights.

No very useful by itself but this interface makes gridders compatible with other processing operations and is used by verde.Chain to join them together (for example, so you can fit a spline on the residuals of a trend).

Parameters:
coordinates : tuple of arrays

Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, vertical, …).

data : array or tuple of arrays

The data values of each data point. If the data has more than one component, data must be a tuple of arrays (one for each component).

weights : None or array or tuple of arrays

If not None, then the weights assigned to each data point. If more than one data component is provided, you must provide a weights array for each data component (if not None).
Returns:
coordinates, residuals, weights

The coordinates and weights are same as the input. Residuals are the input data minus the predicted data.
VectorSpline2D.fit(coordinates, data, weights=None)[source]

Fit the gridder to the given 2-component vector data.

The data region is captured and used as default for the grid and scatter methods.

All input arrays must have the same shape.

Parameters:
coordinates : tuple of arrays

Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, vertical, …). Only easting and northing will be used, all subsequent coordinates will be ignored.

data : tuple of array

A tuple (east_component, north_component) of arrays with the vector data values at each point.

weights : None or tuple array

If not None, then the weights assigned to each data point. Must be one array per data component. Typically, this should be 1 over the data uncertainty squared.
Returns:
self

Returns this estimator instance for chaining operations.
VectorSpline2D.get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:
deep : boolean, optional

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Returns:
params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.
VectorSpline2D.grid(region=None, shape=None, spacing=None, adjust='spacing', dims=None, data_names=None, projection=None)

Interpolate the data onto a regular grid.

The grid can be specified by either the number of points in each dimension (the shape) or by the grid node spacing.

If the given region is not divisible by the desired spacing, either the region or the spacing will have to be adjusted. By default, the spacing will be rounded to the nearest multiple. Optionally, the East and North boundaries of the region can be adjusted to fit the exact spacing given. See verde.grid_coordinates for more details.

If the interpolator collected the input data region, then it will be used if region=None. Otherwise, you must specify the grid region.

Use the dims and data_names arguments to set custom names for the dimensions and the data field(s) in the output xarray.Dataset. Default names are provided.

Parameters:
region : list = [W, E, S, N]

The boundaries of a given region in Cartesian or geographic coordinates.

shape : tuple = (n_north, n_east) or None

The number of points in the South-North and West-East directions, respectively. If None and spacing is not given, defaults to (101, 101).

spacing : tuple = (s_north, s_east) or None

The grid spacing in the South-North and West-East directions, respectively.

adjust : {‘spacing’, ‘region’}

Whether to adjust the spacing or the region if required. Ignored if shape is given instead of spacing. Defaults to adjusting the spacing.

dims : list or None

The names of the northing and easting data dimensions, respectively, in the output grid. Defaults to ['northing', 'easting'] for Cartesian grids and ['latitude', 'longitude'] for geographic grids. NOTE: This is an exception to the “easting” then “northing” pattern but is required for compatibility with xarray.

data_names : list of None

The name(s) of the data variables in the output grid. Defaults to ['scalars'] for scalar data, ['east_component', 'north_component'] for 2D vector data, and ['east_component', 'north_component', 'vertical_component'] for 3D vector data.

projection : callable or None

If not None, then should be a callable object projection(easting, northing) -> (proj_easting, proj_northing) that takes in easting and northing coordinate arrays and returns projected northing and easting coordinate arrays. This function will be used to project the generated grid coordinates before passing them into predict. For example, you can use this to generate a geographic grid from a Cartesian gridder.
Returns:
grid : xarray.Dataset

The interpolated grid. Metadata about the interpolator is written to the attrs attribute.
