Draw ellipses around a point and select an ellipse if they overlap
Here is some code to reproduce a data.frame containing projected coordinates and to add an ID column:

Each pair of x and y is a geographic point. I would like to accomplish:
Draw an ellipse around each point. The main axis is supposed to be 700 m long, the minor axis 500 m. The orientation of all ellipses should be 225 degrees.
There will be overlaps of some ellipses. In case of overlaps, the ellipe with the lower or lowest ID value should be kept, while the others should be removed. So at the end there should be no overlapping ellipses.
EDIT: The Projected Coordinate System is ETRS 1989 UTM Zone 32N.
Solution
sfdep::st_ellipse() and a simple iteration should help here.
Create ellipses
coordinates.sf$E = sf::st_geometry(coordinates.sf) |>
lapply(\(i) sfdep::st_ellipse(geometry=i, sx=1400L, sy=1000L, rotation=225L, n=100L) |>
sf::st_sf() |> sf::st_cast("POLYGON")) |>
do.call(what="rbind") |>
sf::`st_geometry<-`("geometryE") |>
`st_crs<-`(st_crs(coordinates.sf))
and loop over ellipses, starting with row number 1
idx = 1L
for(i in seq(nrow(coordinates.sf))[-1L]) {
q = length(unlist(sf::st_intersects(coordinates.sf$E$geometry[idx], coordinates.sf$E$geometry[i])))
if(!q) idx = c(idx, i)
}
Plot
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=coordinates.sf[idx, ]) +
geom_sf(aes(geometry=E$geometryE), fill="blue", alpha=.2) +
geom_sf_text(aes(label=id)) +
theme_minimal() +
labs(x="Easting", y="Northing")
gives
