scipy.ndimage.measurements.standard_deviation

scipy.ndimage.measurements.standard_deviation(input, labels=None, index=None)

Calculate the standard deviation of the values of an n-D image array, optionally at specified sub-regions.

Parameters :

input : array_like

Nd-image data to process.

labels : array_like, optional

Labels to identify sub-regions in input. If not None, must be same shape as input.

index : int or sequence of ints, optional

labels to include in output. If None (default), all values where labels is non-zero are used.

Returns :

standard_deviation : float or ndarray

Values of standard deviation, for each sub-region if labels and index are specified.

Examples

>>> a = np.array([[1, 2, 0, 0],
                  [5, 3, 0, 4],
                  [0, 0, 0, 7],
                  [9, 3, 0, 0]])
>>> from scipy import ndimage
>>> ndimage.standard_deviation(a)
2.7585095613392387

Features to process can be specified using labels and index:

>>> lbl, nlbl = ndimage.label(a)
>>> ndimage.standard_deviation(a, lbl, index=np.arange(1, nlbl+1))
array([ 1.479,  1.5  ,  3.   ])

If no index is given, non-zero labels are processed:

>>> ndimage.standard_deviation(a, lbl)
