Short version:
Is it possible to create a new scipy.spatial.Delaunay object with a subset of the triangles (2D data) from an existing object?
The goal would be to use the find_simplex method on the new object with filtered out simplices.

How to deal with the (undesired) triangles that form between the edges of my geometry when using Triangulation in matplotlib
Long version:
I am looking at lat-lon data that I regrid with scipy.interpolate.griddata like in the pseudo-code below:
import numpy as np
from scipy.interpolate import griddata
from scipy.spatial import Delaunay
from scipy.interpolate.interpnd import _ndim_coords_from_arrays
#lat shape (a,b): 2D array of latitude values
#lon shape (a,b): 2D array of longitude values
#x shape (a,b): 2D array of variable of interest at lat and lon
# lat-lon data
nonan = ~np.isnan(lat)
flat_lat = lat[nonan]
flat_lon = lon[nonan]
flat_x = x[nonan]
# regular lat-lon grid for regridding
lon_ar = np.arange(loni,lonf,resolution)
lat_ar = np.arange(lati,latf,resolution)
lon_grid, lat_grid = np.meshgrid(lon_ar,lat_ar)
# regrid
x_grid = griddata((flat_lon,flat_lat),flat_x,(lon_grid,lat_grid), method='nearest')
# filter out extrapolated values
cloud_points = _ndim_coords_from_arrays((flat_lon,flat_lat))
regrid_points = _ndim_coords_from_arrays((lon_grid.ravel(),lat_grid.ravel()))
tri = Delaunay(cloud_points)
outside_hull = tri.find_simplex(regrid_points) < 0
x_grid[outside_hull.reshape(x_grid.shape)] = np.nan
# filter out large triangles ??
# it would be easy if I could "subset" tri into a new scipy.spatial.Delaunay object
# new_tri = ??
# outside_hull = new_tri.find_simplex(regrid_points) < 0
The problem is that the convex hull has low quality (very large, shown in blue in example below) triangles that I would like to filter out as they don't represent the data well. I know how to filter them out in input points, but not in the regridded output. Here is the filter function:
def filter_large_triangles(
points: np.ndarray, tri: Optional[Delaunay] = None, coeff: float = 2.0
):
"""
Filter out triangles that have an edge > coeff * median(edge)
Inputs:
tri: scipy.spatial.Delaunay object
coeff: triangles with an edge > coeff * median(edge) will be filtered out
Outputs:
valid_slice: boolean array that selects "normal" triangles
"""
if tri is None:
tri = Delaunay(points)
edge_lengths = np.zeros(tri.vertices.shape)
seen = {}
# loop over triangles
for i, vertex in enumerate(tri.vertices):
# loop over edges
for j in range(3):
id0 = vertex[j]
id1 = vertex[(j + 1) % 3]
# avoid calculating twice for non-border edges
if (id0,id1) in seen:
edge_lengths[i, j] = seen[(id0,id1)]
else:
edge_lengths[i, j] = np.linalg.norm(points[id1] - points[id0])
seen[(id0,id1)] = edge_lengths[i, j]
median_edge = np.median(edge_lengths.flatten())
valid_slice = np.all(edge_lengths < coeff * median_edge, axis=1)
return valid_slice
The bad triangles are shown in blue below:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
no_large_triangles = filter_large_triangles(cloud_points,tri)
fig,ax = plt.subplot()
ax.triplot(points[:,0],points[:,1],tri.simplices,c='blue')
ax.triplot(points[:,0],points[:,1],tri.simplices[no_large_triangles],c='green')
plt.show()
Is it possible to create a new scipy.spatial.Delaunay object with only the no_large_triangles simplices? The goal would be to use the find_simplex method on that new object to easily filter out points.
As an alternative how could I find the indices of points in regrid_points that fall inside the blue triangles? (tri.simplices[~no_large_triangles])
So it is possible to modify the Delaunay object for the purpose of using find_simplex on a subset of simplices, but it seems only with the bruteforce algorithm.
# filter out extrapolated values
cloud_points = _ndim_coords_from_arrays((flat_lon,flat_lat))
regrid_points = _ndim_coords_from_arrays((lon_grid.ravel(),lat_grid.ravel()))
tri = Delaunay(cloud_points)
outside_hull = tri.find_simplex(regrid_points) < 0
# filter out large triangles
large_triangles = ~filter_large_triangles(cloud_points,tri)
large_triangle_ids = np.where(large_triangles)[0]
subset_tri = tri # this doesn't preserve tri, effectively just a renaming
# the _find_simplex_bruteforce method only needs the simplices and neighbors
subset_tri.nsimplex = large_triangle_ids.size
subset_tri.simplices = tri.simplices[large_triangles]
subset_tri.neighbors = tri.neighbors[large_triangles]
# update neighbors
for i,triangle in enumerate(subset_tri.neighbors):
for j,neighbor_id in enumerate(triangle):
if neighbor_id in large_triangle_ids:
# reindex the neighbors to match the size of the subset
subset_tri.neighbors[i,j] = np.where(large_triangle_ids==neighbor_id)[0]
elif neighbor_id>=0 and (neighbor_id not in large_triangle_ids):
# that neighbor was a "normal" triangle that should not exist in the subset
subset_tri.neighbors[i,j] = -1
inside_large_triangles = subset_tri.find_simplex(regrid_points,bruteforce=True) >= 0
invalid_slice = np.logical_or(outside_hull,inside_large_triangles)
x_grid[invalid_slice.reshape(x_grid.shape)] = np.nan
Showing that the new Delaunay object has only the subset of large triangles
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig,ax = plt.subplot()
ax.triplot(cloud_points[:,0],cloud_points[:,1],subset_tri.simplices,color='red')
plt.show()

I have a random distribution of points in 2D space like so:
from sklearn import datasets
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
arr, labels = datasets.make_moons()
arr, labels = datasets.make_blobs(n_samples=1000, centers=3)
pd.DataFrame(arr, columns=['x', 'y']).plot.scatter('x', 'y', s=1)
I'm trying to assign each of these points to the nearest unoccupied slot on an imaginary hex grid to ensure the points don't overlap. The code I'm using to accomplish this goal produces the plot below. The general idea is to create the hex bins, then iterate over each point and find the minimal radius that allows the algorithm to assign that point to an unoccupied hex bin:
from scipy.spatial.distance import euclidean
def get_bounds(arr):
'''Given a 2D array return the y_min, y_max, x_min, x_max'''
return [
np.min(arr[:,1]),
np.max(arr[:,1]),
np.min(arr[:,0]),
np.max(arr[:,0]),
]
def create_mesh(arr, h=100, w=100):
'''arr is a 2d array; h=number of vertical divisions; w=number of horizontal divisions'''
print(' * creating mesh with size', h, w)
bounds = get_bounds(arr)
# create array of valid positions
y_vals = np.arange(bounds[0], bounds[1], (bounds[1]-bounds[0])/h)
x_vals = np.arange(bounds[2], bounds[3], (bounds[3]-bounds[2])/w)
# create the dense mesh
data = np.tile(
[[0, 1], [1, 0]],
np.array([
int(np.ceil(len(y_vals) / 2)),
int(np.ceil(len(x_vals) / 2)),
]))
# ensure each axis has an even number of slots
if len(y_vals) % 2 != 0 or len(x_vals) % 2 != 0:
data = data[0:len(y_vals), 0:len(x_vals)]
return pd.DataFrame(data, index=y_vals, columns=x_vals)
def align_points_to_grid(arr, h=100, w=100, verbose=False):
'''arr is a 2d array; h=number of vertical divisions; w=number of horizontal divisions'''
h = w = len(arr)/10
grid = create_mesh(arr, h=h, w=w)
# fill the mesh
print(' * filling mesh')
df = pd.DataFrame(arr, columns=['x', 'y'])
bounds = get_bounds(arr)
# store the number of points slotted
c = 0
for site, point in df[['x', 'y']].iterrows():
# skip points not in original points domain
if point.y < bounds[0] or point.y > bounds[1] or \
point.x < bounds[2] or point.x > bounds[3]:
raise Exception('Input point is out of bounds', point.x, point.y, bounds)
# assign this point to the nearest open slot
r_y = (bounds[1]-bounds[0])/h
r_x = (bounds[3]-bounds[2])/w
slotted = False
while not slotted:
bottom = grid.index.searchsorted(point.y - r_y)
top = grid.index.searchsorted(point.y + r_y, side='right')
left = grid.columns.searchsorted(point.x - r_x)
right = grid.columns.searchsorted(point.x + r_x, side='right')
close_grid_points = grid.iloc[bottom:top, left:right]
# store the position in this point's radius that minimizes distortion
best_dist = np.inf
grid_loc = [np.nan, np.nan]
for x, col in close_grid_points.iterrows():
for y, val in col.items():
if val != 1: continue
dist = euclidean(point, (x,y))
if dist < best_dist:
best_dist = dist
grid_loc = [x,y]
# no open slots were found so increase the search radius
if np.isnan(grid_loc[0]):
r_y *= 2
r_x *= 2
# success! report the slotted position to the user
else:
# assign a value other than 1 to mark this slot as filled
grid.loc[grid_loc[0], grid_loc[1]] = 2
df.loc[site, ['x', 'y']] = grid_loc
slotted = True
c += 1
if verbose:
print(' * completed', c, 'of', len(arr), 'assignments')
return df
# plot sample data
df = align_points_to_grid(arr, verbose=False)
df.plot.scatter('x', 'y', s=1)
I'm satisfied with the result of this algorithm, but not with the performance.
Is there a faster solution to this kind of hexbin assignment problem in Python? I feel others with more exposure to the Linear Assignment Problem or the Hungarian Algorithm might have valuable insight into this problem. Any suggestions would be hugely helpful!
It turned out assigning each point to the first available grid spot within its current radius was sufficiently performant.
For others who end up here, my lab wrapped this functionality into a little Python package for convenience. You can pip install pointgrid and then:
from pointgrid import align_points_to_grid
from sklearn import datasets
# create fake data
arr, labels = datasets.make_blobs(n_samples=1000, centers=5)
# get updated point positions
updated = align_points_to_grid(arr)
updated will be a numpy array with the same shape as the input array arr.
I'm trying to interpolate between two images in Python.
Images are of shapes (188, 188)
I wish to interpolate the image 'in-between' these two images. Say Image_1 is at location z=0 and Image_2 is at location z=2. I want the interpolated image at location z=1.
I believe this answer (MATLAB) contains a similar problem and solution.
Creating intermediate slices in a 3D MRI volume with MATLAB
I've tried to convert this code to Python as follows:
from scipy.interpolate import interpn
from scipy.interpolate import griddata
# Construct 3D volume from images
# arr.shape = (2, 182, 182)
arr = np.r_['0,3', image_1, image_2]
slices,rows,cols = arr.shape
# Construct meshgrids
[X,Y,Z] = np.meshgrid(np.arange(cols), np.arange(rows), np.arange(slices));
[X2,Y2,Z2] = np.meshgrid(np.arange(cols), np.arange(rows), np.arange(slices*2));
# Run n-dim interpolation
Vi = interpn([X,Y,Z], arr, np.array([X1,Y1,Z1]).T)
However, this produces an error:
ValueError: The points in dimension 0 must be strictly ascending
I suspect I am not constructing my meshgrid(s) properly but am kind of lost on whether or not this approach is correct.
Any ideas?

Found some MATLAB code that appears to solve this problem:

Example output:
I came across a similar problem where I needed to interpolate the shift between frames where the change did not merely constitute a translation but also changes to the shape itself . I solved this problem by :
Using center_of_mass from scipy.ndimage.measurements to calculate the center of the object we want to move in each frame
Defining a continuous parameter t where t=0 first and t=1 last frame
Interpolate the motion between two nearest frames (with regard to a specific t value) by shifting the image back/forward via shift from scipy.ndimage.interpolation and overlaying them.
Here is the code:
def inter(images,t):
#input:
# images: list of arrays/frames ordered according to motion
# t: parameter ranging from 0 to 1 corresponding to first and last frame
#returns: interpolated image
#direction of movement, assumed to be approx. linear
a=np.array(center_of_mass(images[0]))
b=np.array(center_of_mass(images[-1]))
#find index of two nearest frames
arr=np.array([center_of_mass(images[i]) for i in range(len(images))])
v=a+t*(b-a) #convert t into vector
idx1 = (np.linalg.norm((arr - v),axis=1)).argmin()
arr[idx1]=np.array([0,0]) #this is sloppy, should be changed if relevant values are near [0,0]
idx2 = (np.linalg.norm((arr - v),axis=1)).argmin()
if idx1>idx2:
b=np.array(center_of_mass(images[idx1])) #center of mass of nearest contour
a=np.array(center_of_mass(images[idx2])) #center of mass of second nearest contour
tstar=np.linalg.norm(v-a)/np.linalg.norm(b-a) #define parameter ranging from 0 to 1 for interpolation between two nearest frames
im1_shift=shift(images[idx2],(b-a)*tstar) #shift frame 1
im2_shift=shift(images[idx1],-(b-a)*(1-tstar)) #shift frame 2
return im1_shift+im2_shift #return average
if idx1<idx2:
b=np.array(center_of_mass(images[idx2]))

Result example
I don't know the solution to your problem, but I don't think it's possible to do this with interpn.
I corrected the code that you tried, and used the following input images:
But the result is:
Here's the corrected code:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm as cm
from scipy import interpolate
n = 8
img1 = np.zeros((n, n))
img2 = np.zeros((n, n))
img1[2:4, 2:4] = 1
img2[4:6, 4:6] = 1
plt.figure()
plt.imshow(img1, cmap=cm.Greys)
plt.figure()
plt.imshow(img2, cmap=cm.Greys)
points = (np.r_[0, 2], np.arange(n), np.arange(n))
values = np.stack((img1, img2))
xi = np.rollaxis(np.mgrid[:n, :n], 0, 3).reshape((n**2, 2))
xi = np.c_[np.ones(n**2), xi]
values_x = interpolate.interpn(points, values, xi, method='linear')
values_x = values_x.reshape((n, n))
print(values_x)
plt.figure()
plt.imshow(values_x, cmap=cm.Greys)
plt.clim((0, 1))
plt.show()
I think the main difference between your code and mine is in the specification of xi. interpn tends to be somewhat confusing to use, and I've explained it in greater detail in an older answer. If you're curious about the mechanics of how I've specified xi, see this answer of mine explaining what I've done.
This result is not entirely surprising, because interpn just linearly interpolated between the two images: so the parts which had 1 in one image and 0 in the other simply became 0.5.
Over here, since one image is the translation of the other, it's clear that we want an image that's translated "in-between". But how would interpn interpolate two general images? If you had one small circle and one big circle, is it in any way clear that there should be a circle of intermediate size "between" them? What about interpolating between a dog and a cat? Or a dog and a building?
I think you are essentially trying to "draw lines" connecting the edges of the two images and then trying to figure out the image in between. This is similar to sampling a moving video at a half-frame. You might want to check out something like optical flow, which connects adjacent frames using vectors. I'm not aware if and what python packages/implementations are available though.
There is an array containing 3D data of shape e.g. (64,64,64), how do you plot a plane given by a point and a normal (similar to hkl planes in crystallography), through this dataset?
Similar to what can be done in MayaVi by rotating a plane through the data.
The resulting plot will contain non-square planes in most cases.
Can those be done with matplotlib (some sort of non-rectangular patch)?
Edit: I almost solved this myself (see below) but still wonder how non-rectangular patches can be plotted in matplotlib...?
Edit: Due to discussions below I restated the question.
This is funny, a similar question I replied to just today. The way to go is: interpolation. You can use griddata from scipy.interpolate:
Griddata
This page features a very nice example, and the signature of the function is really close to your data.
You still have to somehow define the points on you plane for which you want to interpolate the data. I will have a look at this, my linear algebra lessons where a couple of years ago
I have the penultimate solution for this problem. Partially solved by using the second answer to Plot a plane based on a normal vector and a point in Matlab or matplotlib :
# coding: utf-8
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.pyplot import imshow,show
A=np.empty((64,64,64)) #This is the data array
def f(x,y):
return np.sin(x/(2*np.pi))+np.cos(y/(2*np.pi))
xx,yy= np.meshgrid(range(64), range(64))
for x in range(64):
A[:,:,x]=f(xx,yy)*np.cos(x/np.pi)
N=np.zeros((64,64))
"""This is the plane we cut from A.
It should be larger than 64, due to diagonal planes being larger.
Will be fixed."""
normal=np.array([-1,-1,1]) #Define cut plane here. Normal vector components restricted to integers
point=np.array([0,0,0])
d = -np.sum(point*normal)
def plane(x,y): # Get plane's z values
return (-normal[0]*x-normal[1]*y-d)/normal[2]
def getZZ(x,y): #Get z for all values x,y. If z>64 it's out of range
for i in x:
for j in y:
if plane(i,j)<64:
N[i,j]=A[i,j,plane(i,j)]
getZZ(range(64),range(64))
imshow(N, interpolation="Nearest")
show()
It's not the ultimate solution since the plot is not restricted to points having a z value, planes larger than 64 * 64 are not accounted for and the planes have to be defined at (0,0,0).
For the reduced requirements, I prepared a simple example
import numpy as np
import pylab as plt
data = np.arange((64**3))
data.resize((64,64,64))
def get_slice(volume, orientation, index):
orientation2slicefunc = {
"x" : lambda ar:ar[index,:,:],
"y" : lambda ar:ar[:,index,:],
"z" : lambda ar:ar[:,:,index]
}
return orientation2slicefunc[orientation](volume)
plt.subplot(221)
plt.imshow(get_slice(data, "x", 10), vmin=0, vmax=64**3)
plt.subplot(222)
plt.imshow(get_slice(data, "x", 39), vmin=0, vmax=64**3)
plt.subplot(223)
plt.imshow(get_slice(data, "y", 15), vmin=0, vmax=64**3)
plt.subplot(224)
plt.imshow(get_slice(data, "z", 25), vmin=0, vmax=64**3)
plt.show()
This leads to the following plot:
The main trick is dictionary mapping orienations to lambda-methods, which saves us from writing annoying if-then-else-blocks. Of course you can decide to give different names,
e.g., numbers, for the orientations.
Maybe this helps you.

P.S.: I didn't care about "IndexOutOfRange", for me it's o.k. to let this exception pop out since it is perfectly understandable in this context.
I had to do something similar for a MRI data enhancement:
Probably the code can be optimized but it works as it is.
My data is 3 dimension numpy array representing an MRI scanner. It has size [128,128,128] but the code can be modified to accept any dimensions. Also when the plane is outside the cube boundary you have to give the default values to the variable fill in the main function, in my case I choose: data_cube[0:5,0:5,0:5].mean()

The way it works is the following:
you create a normal vector:
for example [5,0,3]
normal1=create_normal_vector(5, 0,3) #this is only to normalize
then you create a point:
(my cube data shape is [128,128,128])
point = [64,64,64]
You calculate the plane equation parameters, [a,b,c,d] where ax+by+cz=d
plane1=get_plane_equation_parameters(normal1,point)
then to reduce the search space you can calculate the intersection of the plane with the cube:
corners1 = get_corner_interesections(plane1,128)
where corners1 = [intersection [x,0,0],intersection [x,128,0],intersection [x,0,128],intersection [x,128,128], min intersection [x,y,z], max intersection [x,y,z]]
With all these you can calculate the intersection between the cube and the plane:
image1 = get_points_intersection(plane1,corners1[-2],corners1[-1],data_cube)
Some examples:
normal is [1,0,0] point is [64,64,64]
normal is [5,1,0],[5,1,1],[5,0,1] point is [64,64,64]:
normal is [5,3,0],[5,3,3],[5,0,3] point is [64,64,64]:
normal is [5,-5,0],[5,-5,-5],[5,0,-5] point is [64,64,64]:
Thank you.
The other answers here do not appear to be very efficient with explicit loops over pixels or using scipy.interpolate.griddata, which is designed for unstructured input data. Here is an efficient (vectorized) and generic solution.
There is a pure numpy implementation (for nearest-neighbor "interpolation") and one for linear interpolation, which delegates the interpolation to scipy.ndimage.map_coordinates. (The latter function probably didn't exist in 2013, when this question was asked.)

- cube: 3D array, assumed shape (nx, ny, nz).
- center: shape (3,) with coordinates of center.
can be float.
- eXY: unit vectors, shape (2, 3) - for X and Y axes of the slice.
(unit vectors must be orthogonal; normalization is optional).
- mXY: size tuple of output array (mX, mY) - int.
- fill: value to use for out-of-range points.
- interp: whether to interpolate (rather than using 'nearest')
Return:
- slice: array, shape (mX, mY).
