# Ellipsoid fit python
Find ellipsoid fit for arbitrary data with python/numpy, plot it or write to file.
(Should work on both python 2.7 and python 3)

![Plot example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aleksandrbazhin/ellipsoid_fit_python/master/demo_screenshot.png)

Used for 3-axis magnetometer calibration.

If you want to fit an ellipse into arbitrary data take a look at issue #11 - I tried to explain how to maybe do it. Also look through other opened issues.

Project is a port of matlab/octave http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24693-ellipsoid-fit to python/numpy
with some data regularization and fancy plotting on matplotlib added. It utilizes minimum squares method.
Some code for plotting taken from https://github.com/minillinim/ellipsoid

Example input file is mag_out.txt and consists of rows with 3 numbers representing point coordinates.

Use plot_ellipsoid.py to see input data, fitted ellipsoid and data transferred onto sphere surface.

Use get_calibration_ellipsoid.py to generate magcal_ellipsoid.txt where first row has coordinates of fitted ellipsoid center, and other
three rows are ellipsoid axes.

Requirements are:
- numpy
- matplotlib for plotting (min version 3.3.0)

Update: for close version to Matlab look here 
https://github.com/marksemple/pyEllipsoid_Fit

Update 2: Matplotlib from version 3 does not support equal axis, so spere plot may appear as not a sphere. But since matplotlib version 3.3.0 it's possible to set the aspect of an axes box directly via function set_box_aspect.
