Creation Of Weighted Theissen Polygons Using Python, Colin Spohn
Creation Of Weighted Theissen Polygons Using Python, Colin Spohn
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
Abstract:
This project is an exploration into creating and manipulating Thiessen polygons. Thiessen polygons are zones created around points to show the area closer to each point than any other point in the set. Thiessen polygons are used to extend climate data from individual stations across areas. After creating the new procedure applications of the algorithm were considered.
The manipulation explored in the project focused on allowing the borders of traditional Thiessen polygons to be shifted based on values among the points. These manipulated Thiessen polygons have been dubbed weighted Thiessen polygons.
These weighted Thiessen polygons were created using the …
