Remove consecutive duplicates from matrix
显示 更早的评论
Hello,
i need to remove duplicates form my matrix, but only if they are consecutive duplicates.
Lets suppose i have the following list of coordinates in a matrix, with for example x, y and z coordinates, that is describing a path.
A=[ 1, 0, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 2, 3
1, 0, 3]
Now, you can see that the point [2, 1, 3] is a consecutive duplicate, that I want to remove (because it's unuseful information).
But I do not want to remove the (duplicate) row at the end, [1, 0, 3], even if this row is already there in the beginning.
Also, the sorting shouldn't be changed. The desired output should be
A=[ 1, 0, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 2, 3
1, 0, 3]
I cannot use 'unique' for that, because that would filter also the last line.
What is the smartest way to do that?
Thank you very much for your help!

Try this
A=[ 1, 0, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 2, 3
1, 0, 3];
idx = find(~any(diff(A), 2))+1;
A(idx, :) = [];

A=[ 1, 0, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 1, 3
2, 2, 3
1, 0, 3];
First apply the diff() on each column. It calculates difference of consecutive elements
>> diff(A)
ans =
1 1 0
0 0 0
0 1 0
-1 -2 0
Now I want the rows in which all elements are zero
>> ~any(diff(A), 2)
ans =
4×1 logical array
0
1
0
0
the number of rows are one less then the number of rows in A. Since first row can never be removed so I expand the vector like this
>> idx = [false; ~any(diff(A), 2)]
idx =
5×1 logical array
0
0
1
0
0
It shows the rows I want to remove. So I just remove them
>> A(idx, :) = []
A =
1 0 3
2 1 3
2 2 3
1 0 3
