podpac.interpolators.NearestNeighbor¶

class podpac.interpolators.NearestNeighbor(**kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: podpac.core.interpolation.interpolator.Interpolator

Nearest Neighbor Interpolation

method¶

Current interpolation method to use in Interpolator (i.e. ‘nearest’). This attribute is set during node evaluation when a new Interpolation class is constructed. See the podpac.data.DataSource interpolation attribute for more information on specifying the interpolator method.

Type: str

dims_supported¶

List of unstacked dimensions supported by the interpolator. This attribute should be defined by the implementing Interpolator. Used by private convience method _filter_udims_supported().

Type: list

spatial_tolerance¶

Default is inf. Maximum distance to the nearest coordinate in space. Cooresponds to the unit of the space measurement.

Type: float

time_tolerance¶

Default is inf. Maximum distance to the nearest coordinate in time coordinates. Accepts p.timedelta64() (i.e. np.timedelta64(1, ‘D’) for a 1-Day tolerance)

Type: float

alt_tolerance¶

Default is inf. Maximum distance to the nearest coordinate in altitude coordinates. Corresponds to the unit of the altitude as part of the requested coordinates

Type: float

spatial_scale¶

Default is 1. This only applies when the source has stacked dimensions with different units. The spatial_scale defines the factor that lat, lon coordinates will be scaled by (coordinates are divided by spatial_scale) to output a valid distance for the combined set of dimensions.

Type: float

time_scale¶

Default is 1. This only applies when the source has stacked dimensions with different units. The time_scale defines the factor that time coordinates will be scaled by (coordinates are divided by time_scale) to output a valid distance for the combined set of dimensions.

Type: float

alt_scale¶

Default is 1. This only applies when the source has stacked dimensions with different units. The alt_scale defines the factor that alt coordinates will be scaled by (coordinates are divided by alt_scale) to output a valid distance for the combined set of dimensions.

Type: float

respect_bounds¶

Default is True. If True, any requested dimension OUTSIDE of the bounds will be interpolated as ‘nan’. Otherwise, any point outside the bounds will have NN interpolation allowed.

Type: bool

remove_nan¶

Default is False. If True, nan’s in the source dataset will NOT be interpolated. This can be used if a value for the function is needed at every point of the request. It is not helpful when computing statistics, where nan values will be explicitly ignored. In that case, if remove_nan is True, nan values will take on the values of neighbors, skewing the statistical result.

Type: bool

use_selector¶

Default is True. If True, a subset of the coordinates will be selected BEFORE the data of a dataset is retrieved. This reduces the number of data retrievals needed for large datasets. In cases where remove_nan = True, the selector may select only nan points, in which case the interpolation fails to produce non-nan data. This usually happens when requesting a single point from a dataset that contains nans. As such, in these cases set use_selector = False to get a non-nan value.

Type: bool
