scipy.ndimage.find_objects#

scipy.ndimage.find_objects(input, max_label=0)[source]#

Find objects in a labeled array.

Parameters

inputndarray of ints: Array containing objects defined by different labels. Labels with value 0 are ignored.
max_labelint, optional: Maximum label to be searched for in input. If max_label is not given, the positions of all objects are returned.

Returns

object_sliceslist of tuples: A list of tuples, with each tuple containing N slices (with N the dimension of the input array). Slices correspond to the minimal parallelepiped that contains the object. If a number is missing, None is returned instead of a slice.

label, center_of_mass

Notes

This function is very useful for isolating a volume of interest inside a 3-D array, that cannot be “seen through”.

Examples

>>> from scipy import ndimage
>>> a = np.zeros((6,6), dtype=int)
>>> a[2:4, 2:4] = 1
>>> a[4, 4] = 1
>>> a[:2, :3] = 2
>>> a[0, 5] = 3
>>> a
array([[2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 3],
       [2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
>>> ndimage.find_objects(a)
[(slice(2, 5, None), slice(2, 5, None)), (slice(0, 2, None), slice(0, 3, None)), (slice(0, 1, None), slice(5, 6, None))]
>>> ndimage.find_objects(a, max_label=2)
[(slice(2, 5, None), slice(2, 5, None)), (slice(0, 2, None), slice(0, 3, None))]
>>> ndimage.find_objects(a == 1, max_label=2)
[(slice(2, 5, None), slice(2, 5, None)), None]

>>> loc = ndimage.find_objects(a)[0]
>>> a[loc]
array([[1, 1, 0],
       [1, 1, 0],
       [0, 0, 1]])
