point compression

Coverts list of point locations to a set of equally spaced points through linear interpolation.

equa_dist_points_direction(df, num_splits = 13)

Arguments

df	column data frame with all points (each row a point)
num_splits	integer number of points for the path to be represented in

Value

new_compression data.frame (num_splits x d) of points along the path equally spaced

Examples

library(dplyr)
my_df <- data.frame(x = 1:20) %>%
  mutate(y = x)
my_df_compression <- equa_dist_points_direction(my_df)
