有没有可以在Python中使用的GPS库？

Question

我正在寻找可以使用 GPS 坐标的 Python 库。比方说，我有一个坐标列表：

>>> gps = [
...  (53.25012925, −6.24479338, 349.9, '2011-08-20T09:35:00Z'),
...  (53.25028285, -6.24441800, 359.9, '2011-08-20T09:35:30Z'),
...  (53.25049500, -6.24266032, 395.9, '2011-08-20T09:36:00Z'),
...  # and so on...
... ]
>>>

我想计算平均速度、距离、获取最高点和其他信息。我知道，计算它非常简单，但我想知道是否有任何现有代码（我不喜欢重新发明轮子）。

注意：stackoverflow 中也有类似的问题（您会推荐哪个 gps 库对于Python？），但它是关于GPSD的。我没有使用任何设备，我只有文本文件中的 GPS 坐标。

Answer 1

我发现了一个有趣的库，名为 geopy。它可以计算两个GPS点之间的距离（它使用大圆距离和文森蒂距离方法）。最重要的是，geopy 可以进行地理编码（它可以从地址获取 GPS 坐标）。

其他特征（平均速度、最高点等）我可以自己破解。

Answer 2

您也许仍然可以使用 GPSD 的数据部分，而不是从头开始编写某些内容。以下代码来自 GPSD 源代码，并具有一个用于从 GPS 数据流创建路径的模块（然后获取路径长度等）

        at 10 second intervals.

        recordDelay - Delay between recording data points
        maxSize - Maximum number of points to record
        ignoreDuplicates - Ignore entries that are very similar (ie moved a minimal distance)

            subtle gps position drift)
