Issue
I want to fit a plane to some data points and draw it. My current code is this:
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
points = [(1.1,2.1,8.1),
(3.2,4.2,8.0),
(5.3,1.3,8.2),
(3.4,2.4,8.3),
(1.5,4.5,8.0)]
xs, ys, zs = zip(*points)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs)
point = np.array([0.0, 0.0, 8.1])
normal = np.array([0.0, 0.0, 1.0])
d = -point.dot(normal)
xx, yy = np.meshgrid([-5,10], [-5,10])
z = (-normal[0] * xx - normal[1] * yy - d) * 1. /normal[2]
ax.plot_surface(xx, yy, z, alpha=0.2, color=[0,1,0])
ax.set_xlim(-10,10)
ax.set_ylim(-10,10)
ax.set_zlim( 0,10)
plt.show()
which results in the following:
As you can see at the moment I create the plane manually. How can I calculate it? I guess it is possible with scipy.optimize.minimize
somehow. The kind of error function is not that important to me at the moment. I think least squares (vertical point-plane-distance) would be fine. It would be cool if one of you could show me how to do it.
Solution
Oh, the idea just came to my mind. It's quite easy. :-)
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import scipy.optimize
import functools
def plane(x, y, params):
a = params[0]
b = params[1]
c = params[2]
z = a*x + b*y + c
return z
def error(params, points):
result = 0
for (x,y,z) in points:
plane_z = plane(x, y, params)
diff = abs(plane_z - z)
result += diff**2
return result
def cross(a, b):
return [a[1]*b[2] - a[2]*b[1],
a[2]*b[0] - a[0]*b[2],
a[0]*b[1] - a[1]*b[0]]
points = [(1.1,2.1,8.1),
(3.2,4.2,8.0),
(5.3,1.3,8.2),
(3.4,2.4,8.3),
(1.5,4.5,8.0)]
fun = functools.partial(error, points=points)
params0 = [0, 0, 0]
res = scipy.optimize.minimize(fun, params0)
a = res.x[0]
b = res.x[1]
c = res.x[2]
xs, ys, zs = zip(*points)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs)
point = np.array([0.0, 0.0, c])
normal = np.array(cross([1,0,a], [0,1,b]))
d = -point.dot(normal)
xx, yy = np.meshgrid([-5,10], [-5,10])
z = (-normal[0] * xx - normal[1] * yy - d) * 1. /normal[2]
ax.plot_surface(xx, yy, z, alpha=0.2, color=[0,1,0])
ax.set_xlim(-10,10)
ax.set_ylim(-10,10)
ax.set_zlim( 0,10)
plt.show()
Sorry for asking unnecessarily.
