* Package name : scikit-fmm Version : 2019.1.30 Upstream Author : The scikit-fmm team * URL : http://packages.python.org/scikit-fmm * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python, C/C++ Description : Python module which implements the fast marching method Python module which implements the fast marching method. The fast marching method is used to model the evolution of boundaries and interfaces in a variety of application areas. More specifically, the fast marching method is a numerical technique for finding approximate solutions to boundary value problems of the Eikonal equation: F(x) | grad T(x) | = 1 Typically, such a problem describes the evolution of a closed curve as a function of time T with speed F(x)>0 in the normal direction at a point x on the curve. The speed function is specified, and the time at which the contour crosses a point x is obtained by solving the equation. scikit-fmm is a simple module which provides functions to calculate the signed distance and travel time to an interface described by the zero contour of the input array phi. Petter Reinholdtsen and I are collaborating on packaging this as it is a build dependency for the openmotor package I am also working on. Bdale
