Fast Hilbert 2D curve computation using an efficient Lookup Table (LUT) and only considering the lowest order for a given input.

h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6

  • Convert from discrete 2D space to 1D hilbert space and reverse
  • Generalized for different unsigned integer input types (thanks DoubleHyphen PR#3)
  • Speedup via lowest order computation (thanks DoubleHyphen PR#2)
  • Very fast using an efficient 512 Byte LUT
  • Only one additional dependency

Benchmarking the conversion from full 256x256 discrete 2D space to the 1D hilbert space, shows that fast_hilbert is about 12 times faster compared to the fastest 2D hilbert transformation libs written in rust. Benchmarked on a Intel i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70 GHz, 4 Cores with 8 GB RAM:

Library Time Description
fast_hilbert 0.2 ms Optimized for fast computation in 2D discrete space using an efficient LUT
hilbert_2d 2.5 ms Also allows other variants such as Moore and LIU
hilbert_curve 2.0 ms Implements algorithm described on Wikipedia
hilbert 32.1 ms Allows computation of higher dimensional Hilbert curves

Especially for higher orders fast_hilbert outperforms other libraries by using only the next lowest relevant order instead of computing the hilbert curve bit per bit for the given input. See PR #2 and #9 for more details.

For example the computation of xy2h(1, 2, 64) is very fast to compute using fast_hilbert compared to a higher x,y pair such as xy2h(u32::MAX-1, u32::MAX-2, 64):

Library x=1, y=2, order=64 x=u32::MAX-1, y=u32::MAX-2, order=64
