filters.optimalneighborhood#

The Optimal Neighborhood filter computes the eigenentropy (defined as the Shannon entropy of the normalized eigenvalues) for a neighborhood of points in the range min_k to max_k. The neighborhood size that minimizes the eigenentropy is saved to a new dimension OptimalKNN. The corresponding radius of the neighborhood is saved to OptimalRadius. These dimensions can be written to an output file or utilized directly by filters.covariancefeatures.
