稍微修改一下，上面的答案适用于任意维度的数组(1d, 2d, 3d，…):

def find_nearest(a, a0):
    "Element in nd array `a` closest to the scalar value `a0`"
    idx = np.abs(a - a0).argmin()
    return a.flat[idx]

或者，写成一行:

a.flat[np.abs(a - a0).argmin()]

对于大型数组，@Demitri给出的(优秀)答案比目前标记为最佳的答案快得多。我从以下两个方面调整了他的精确算法:

不管输入数组是否排序，下面的函数都有效。 下面的函数返回与最接近的值对应的输入数组的索引，这有点更一般。

请注意，下面的函数还处理了一个特定的边缘情况，这将导致@Demitri编写的原始函数中的错误。否则，我的算法和他的一样。

def find_idx_nearest_val(array, value):
    idx_sorted = np.argsort(array)
    sorted_array = np.array(array[idx_sorted])
    idx = np.searchsorted(sorted_array, value, side="left")
    if idx >= len(array):
        idx_nearest = idx_sorted[len(array)-1]
    elif idx == 0:
        idx_nearest = idx_sorted[0]
    else:
        if abs(value - sorted_array[idx-1]) < abs(value - sorted_array[idx]):
            idx_nearest = idx_sorted[idx-1]
        else:
            idx_nearest = idx_sorted[idx]
    return idx_nearest

稍微修改一下，上面的答案适用于任意维度的数组(1d, 2d, 3d，…):

def find_nearest(a, a0):
    "Element in nd array `a` closest to the scalar value `a0`"
    idx = np.abs(a - a0).argmin()
    return a.flat[idx]

或者，写成一行:

a.flat[np.abs(a - a0).argmin()]

下面是一个使用2D数组的版本，如果用户拥有scipy的cdist函数，则使用它，如果用户没有，则使用更简单的距离计算。

默认情况下，输出是最接近输入值的索引，但您可以使用output关键字将其更改为'index'， 'value'或'both'之一，其中'value'输出数组[index]， 'both'输出索引，数组[index]。

对于非常大的数组，您可能需要使用kind='euclidean'，因为默认的scipy cdist函数可能会耗尽内存。

这可能不是绝对最快的解决方案，但已经很接近了。

def find_nearest_2d(array, value, kind='cdist', output='index'):
    # 'array' must be a 2D array
    # 'value' must be a 1D array with 2 elements
    # 'kind' defines what method to use to calculate the distances. Can choose one
    #    of 'cdist' (default) or 'euclidean'. Choose 'euclidean' for very large
    #    arrays. Otherwise, cdist is much faster.
    # 'output' defines what the output should be. Can be 'index' (default) to return
    #    the index of the array that is closest to the value, 'value' to return the
    #    value that is closest, or 'both' to return index,value
    import numpy as np
    if kind == 'cdist':
        try: from scipy.spatial.distance import cdist
        except ImportError:
            print("Warning (find_nearest_2d): Could not import cdist. Reverting to simpler distance calculation")
            kind = 'euclidean'
    index = np.where(array == value)[0] # Make sure the value isn't in the array
    if index.size == 0:
        if kind == 'cdist': index = np.argmin(cdist([value],array)[0])
        elif kind == 'euclidean': index = np.argmin(np.sum((np.array(array)-np.array(value))**2.,axis=1))
        else: raise ValueError("Keyword 'kind' must be one of 'cdist' or 'euclidean'")
    if output == 'index': return index
    elif output == 'value': return array[index]
    elif output == 'both': return index,array[index]
    else: raise ValueError("Keyword 'output' must be one of 'index', 'value', or 'both'")

下面是一个处理非标量“values”数组的版本:

import numpy as np

def find_nearest(array, values):
    indices = np.abs(np.subtract.outer(array, values)).argmin(0)
    return array[indices]

如果输入是标量，则返回数字类型(例如int, float)的版本:

def find_nearest(array, values):
    values = np.atleast_1d(values)
    indices = np.abs(np.subtract.outer(array, values)).argmin(0)
    out = array[indices]
    return out if len(out) > 1 else out[0]

这个函数使用numpy searchsorted处理任意数量的查询，因此在对输入数组进行排序之后，它的速度也一样快。 它可以在2d, 3d的规则网格上工作…:
