funi

Find UNIque float array rows. numpy.unique is an awesome function that alleviates headaches, fast. Haven't you wished that it'd be applicable for 2D float arrays? funi is here to help! There are two available methods: axis and lexicographic. axis will first project each array to an axis to sort, where as lexicographic sorts given array in lexicographical manner.

Install

pip install funi

Quick Start

import funi
import numpy as np

# create a random array with duplicating entries
arr = np.random.random((10000, 3))
arr = np.vstack((arr, arr, arr))
np.random.shuffle(arr)

# specify tolerance and if you want your unique ids to be stable sorted.
unique_data, unique_ids, inverse = funi.unique_rows(
    arr,
    tolerance=1e-11,
    sorted_index=True,
    method="axis",
)

# use ids to extract unique_data from the original array
assert np.allclose(unique_data, arr[unique_ids])

# use inverse to map unique_data back to the original array
assert np.allclose(arr, unique_data[inverse])

# sorted_index=True gives you sorted unique_ids and corresponding inverse
assert np.alltrue(np.sort(unique_ids) == unique_ids)
