Removing duplicate rows (not "unique")

62 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a matrix with many (1e5+) rows and I want to remove both copies of all duplicate rows. Is there a fast way to do this? (This function needs to be run many times.)

You can use the other calling methods to get replicate counts.
a = [1 2; 1 2; 2 3; 2 4; 2 5; 4 2; 4 2; 1 3; 1 3; 4 5];
[C,ia,ic] = unique(a,'rows');
[count key] = hist(ic,unique(ic));
Then you can just select the keys with non-unit counts and drop them.

Perfect and thanks a million! I kept messing with ia and ic, but just wasn't thinking histogram... Would you mind submitting this as an answer so I can accept it?

Let A be your matrix.
[B,ix] = sortrows(A);
f = find(diff([false;all(diff(B,1,1)==0,2);false])~=0);
s = ones(length(f)/2,1);
f1 = f(1:2:end-1); f2 = f(2:2:end);
t = cumsum(accumarray([f1;f2+1],[s;-s],[size(B,1)+1,1]));
A(ix(t(1:end-1)>0),:) = []; % <-- Corrected

And this solution is even faster than the first suggestion in the comments! Thanks for all the help!

greetings.
how could we apply this code to a mesh where we have coordinate points for each triangle, such that we remove the internal edges, or edges shared by two triangles?
thanks in advance.

A=randi(5,10^5,3);
tic
A=unique(A,'rows');
toc
The result
Elapsed time is 0.171778 seconds.

You said that unique function will leave a copy of duplicate rows. With this example, I show you that there is no duplicates rows stored! And also it doesn't take much time

I reckon your answer does not address OP's question because running the following:
A=[1 1 1;1 1 1;1 1 0];
tic
A=unique(A,'rows');
toc
Will yield:
A = 1 1 0
1 1 1
Therefore, A still contains one instance of each row that was duplicate. I believe Michael wanted all instances of each row that appears multiple times be removed.

%Here's a much cleaner way to do it with 2019a or later!
[B,BG]=groupcounts(A);
A_reduced=BG(B==1); % or just A if you want the results in the same variable.
