neathgeohash
============

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/mpdwulit/neathgeohash/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/mpdwulit/neathgeohash?branch=master)  ![travis status](https://travis-ci.org/mpdwulit/neathgeohash.svg?branch=master) 

Neathgeohash is a Python module that provides functions for finding an approximation of a Line 
and an ellipsoid (a surface) with a set of geohashes. Behind the neathgeohash library, there is the power of NumPy. 
The geohasing implementation is approximately thirty times faster than the pygeohash implementation for large data sets.

The code includes Leonard Norrgård’s [Geohash](https://github.com/vinsci/geohash) code, 
with necessary extensions to plot vectors using geohashes as pixels.

The example shows ellipsoid with the ellipse center at 51.00 lattitude and 0 longitude and 305m major and 385m minor

Example 1::

```
import neathgeohash
ellipse = ngh.Ellipse(51, 0, 305, 385, 0)
ellipse_as_ghl = ellipse.estimate_probability_coverage_with_fixed_geohash_depth()
print(ellipse_as_ghl)

Performance ~(30x faster)
================

In version 0.5.0, the geohash encoding was added. The original code was copied from https://github.com/vinsci/geohash 
and extended by fast_encode function. Fast_encode for performance uses NumPy. Here is a comparison between initial 
implementation and NumPy implementation. Implementation based on blog: https://mmcloughlin.com/posts/geohash-assembly

TODO
====

1. Add more efficient implementation for finding geohash coverage
2. Add Box-Muller Sampling from multivariate normal distribution
3. Improve Monte Carlo integration
