sample_random: Generate a random sample of points on the unit sphere

Description

Random sample

Random sample with minimum exlusion zone ("hard-core process")

Fibonacci coverage of a sphere

Usage

sample_random(N)
sample_hc(N, exclusion = 0.1, maxiter = 200L, k = 30L)
sample_fibonacci(N = 301)

Arguments

N
number of points
exclusion
minimum distance allowed between points
maxiter
maximum number of iterations
k
number of extra new points to try at each iteration

Value

3xN matrix3xN matrix

Functions

  • sample_random: random sample
  • sample_hc: random sample with exclusion zone
  • sample_fibonacci:

Details

Produces a set of points that covers rather uniformly the unit sphere with N points with a spiral-like pattern based on a Fibonacci sequence
