## 📖 About

**traj-dist-rs** is a high-performance trajectory distance calculation library written in Rust, providing both native Rust APIs and Python bindings via PyO3. It is a complete rewrite of the original [traj-dist](https://github.com/bguillouet/traj-dist) library, focusing on performance optimization and modern language features.

### Why traj-dist-rs?

- **🚀 Performance**: **~73x faster** than Python implementation and **~2.7x faster** than Cython implementation on average
- **🔒 Safety**: Rust's memory safety guarantees eliminate common runtime errors
- **📦 Cross-platform**: Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows with native binaries
- **🔗 Dual API**: Use it from Python or Rust with minimal overhead
- **🎯 Accuracy**: All algorithms verified against original implementation with < 1e-8 error margin

## ✨ Features

### Supported Distance Algorithms

- **SSPD** - Symmetric Segment-Path Distance
- **DTW** - Dynamic Time Warping (with optional matrix return)
- **Discret Frechet** - Discrete Fréchet Distance
- **Hausdorff** - Hausdorff Distance
- **LCSS** - Longest Common Subsequence
- **EDR** - Edit Distance on Real sequence
- **ERP** - Edit distance with Real Penalty (standard & traj-dist compatible)

### Distance Types

- **Euclidean** - 2D Euclidean distance
- **Spherical** - Haversine distance for geographic coordinates

### Additional Features

- Matrix return for DP-based algorithms (DTW, LCSS, EDR, ERP, Discret Frechet)
- Precomputed distance matrix support for efficient batch computations
- Comprehensive error handling for invalid inputs
- Full Python type hints for better IDE support

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Python

```python
import traj_dist_rs
import numpy as np

# Define trajectories as list of [x, y] coordinates or numpy arrays
traj1 = [[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0], [2.0, 2.0]]
traj2 = [[0.1, 0.1], [1.1, 1.1], [2.1, 2.1]]

# Calculate SSPD distance
distance = traj_dist_rs.sspd(traj1, traj2, dist_type="euclidean")
print(f"SSPD distance: {distance}")

# Calculate DTW distance (returns DpResult with distance and optional matrix)
result = traj_dist_rs.dtw(traj1, traj2, dist_type="euclidean", use_full_matrix=False)
print(f"DTW distance: {result.distance}")

# Calculate Hausdorff distance
distance = traj_dist_rs.hausdorff(traj1, traj2, dist_type="spherical")
print(f"Hausdorff distance: {distance}")
```

### Rust

```rust
use traj_dist_rs::distance::sspd::sspd;
use traj_dist_rs::distance::dtw::dtw;
use traj_dist_rs::distance::base::TrajectoryCalculator;
use traj_dist_rs::distance::distance_type::DistanceType;

fn main() {
    let traj1 = vec![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0], [2.0, 2.0]];
    let traj2 = vec![[0.1, 0.1], [1.1, 1.1], [2.1, 2.1]];

    // Calculate SSPD distance
    let dist = sspd(&traj1, &traj2, DistanceType::Euclidean);
    println!("SSPD distance: {}", dist);

    // Calculate DTW distance
    let calculator = TrajectoryCalculator::new(&traj1, &traj2, DistanceType::Euclidean);
    let result = dtw(&calculator, false);
    println!("DTW distance: {}", result.distance);
}
```
