問題設定

グループA　3次元ベクトル(x,y,z) (N_A)個
グループB　3次元ベクトル(u,v,w) (N_B)個

があるとき、Aの要素とBの要素のペア(N_A * N_B)個の中で、ペア同士のベクトルの距離の最小値を求めたい。

数学的に表現

min_{i,j}||(x,y,z)_i - (u,v,w)_j||

Python で実装

ナイーブに、(N_A x N_B)回のループを回しても良いが、numpy.tile を使うとすっきりと高速化できる。

import numpy

x = data_x # 1次元のnumpy.array()を想定
y = data_y
z = data_z
        
u = data_u
v = data_v
w = data_w
       
N_A = len(data_x)
N_B = len(data_u)

matrix_A = numpy.vstack([x, y, z])
matrix_B = numpy.vstack([u, v, w])
        
matrix_A_T__xNB = numpy.tile(matrix_A.T, N_B).reshape(N_A*N_B,3)
matrix_B__xNA_T = numpy.tile(matrix_B, N_A).T
diff_AB_2 = (matrix_A_T__xNB - matrix_B__xNA_T)**2
dmin_AB = numpy.sqrt(numpy.min(numpy.sum(diff_AB_2, axis=1)))
argmin_diff_AB_2 = numpy.argmin(numpy.sum(diff_AB_2, axis=1)) # index

print(dmin_AB)
print(argmin_diff_AB_2)

print(int(argmin_diff_AB_2 / N_B)) # どの i のときに最小値となるかを示すindex (0<=i<N_A)
print(   (argmin_diff_AB_2 % N_A)) # どの j のときに最小値となるかを示すindex (0<=j<N_B)
