I've a $max
which is essentially a two dimensional array.
Each element in $max
is eithor 1
or 0
,
can be denoted by $max[$x][$y]
, where $x
is an integer within 0~WIDTH
,similar for $y
My purpose is to find rows and columns in the $max
that sums up greater than a CONSTANT
, and get the average distance
between rows/columns that qualify.
Anyone has a good solution ?
I have not tested this, but it should work for summing up the columns and rows:
//Map columns and rows into their respective values
//Note that we preserve the col/row indexes
$rowval = array();
$colval = array();
foreach($max as $k1 => $row) {
$rowval[$k1] = array_sum($row);
foreach($row as $k2 => $col) {
if(!isset($colval[$k2])) {
$colval[$k2] = 0;
}
$colval[$k2] += $col;
}
}
//Define filter function
function is_over($val) {
return $val > CONSTANT;
}
//Filter out the cols/rows from their respective arrays
//Keys will be preserved by array_filter
$foundcols = array_filter($colval, 'is_over');
$foundrows = array_filter($rowval, 'is_over');
You still have to calculate the average distance though.
