I am attempting to write a program which constructs a matrix and performs a singular value decomposition on it. I am evaluating the function ax^2 +bx + 1 on a grid. I then make a uniform meshgrid of a and b. The rows of the matrix correspond to different quadratic coefficients, while each column corresponds to a grid point at which the function is evaluated.
The matlab code is here:
% Collect data
x = linspace(-1,1,100);
[a,b] = meshgrid(0:0.1:1,0:0.1:1);
D=zeros(numel(x),numel(a));
sz = size(D)
% Build “Dose” matrix
for i=1:numel(a)
D(:,i) = a(i)*x.^2+b(i)*x+1;
end
% Do the SVD:
[U,S,V]=svd(D,'econ');
D_reconstructed = U*S*V';
plot(diag(S))
scatter3(a(:),b(:),V(:,1))
This is my attempt at a solution:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.linspace(-1, 1, 100)
def f(x, a, b):
return a*x*x + b*x + 1
a, b = np.mgrid[0:1:0.1,0:1:0.1]
#a = b = np.arange(0,1,0.01)
D = np.zeros((x.size, a.size))
for i in range(a.size):
D[i] = a[i]*x*x +b[i]*x +1
U, S, V = np.linalg.svd(D)
plt.plot(np.diag(S))
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.axes(projection="3d")
ax.scatter(a, b, V[0])
but I always get broadcasting errors which I am not sure how to fix.
Firstly, in MATLAB you're assigning to D(:,i), but in python you're assigning to D[i]. The latter is equivalent to D[i, ...] which is in your case D[i, :]. Instead you seem to need D[:, i].
Secondly, in MATLAB using a linear index into a 2d array (namely a and b) will give you flattened views. If you do that with numpy you get slices of an array instead, just as I mentioned with D[i].
You can do away with the loop with broadcasting and getting your desired 2d array by .ravelling (or reshaping) your a and b arrays:
x = np.linspace(-1, 1, 100)[:, None] # inject trailing singleton for broadcasting
a, b = np.mgrid[0:1:0.1, 0:1:0.1]
D = a.ravel() * x**2 + b.ravel() * x + 1
The way this works is that x has shape (100, 1) after we inject a trailing singleton (in MATLAB trailing singletons are implied, in numpy leading ones), and both a.ravel() and b.ravel() have shape (10*10,) which is compatible with (1, 10*10), making broadcasting possible into shape (100, 10*10). You could also replace the calls to ravel with
a, b = np.mgrid[...].reshape(2, -1)
which is a trick I sometimes use, but this is harder to read if you're unfamiliar with the pattern.
Side note: it's better to use example data where dimensions end up being of different size so that you notice if something ends up being transposed.
I am a little confused by the documentation for scipy.interpolate.RegularGridInterpolator.
Say for instance I have a function f: R^3 => R which is sampled on the vertices of the unit cube. I would like to interpolate so as to find values inside the cube.
import numpy as np
# Grid points / sample locations
X = np.array([[0,0,0], [0,0,1], [0,1,0], [0,1,1], [1,0,0], [1,0,1], [1,1,0], [1,1,1.]])
# Function values at the grid points
F = np.random.rand(8)
Now, RegularGridInterpolator takes a points argument, and a values argument.
points : tuple of ndarray of float, with shapes (m1, ), ..., (mn, )
The points defining the regular grid in n dimensions.
values : array_like, shape (m1, ..., mn, ...)
The data on the regular grid in n dimensions.
I interpret this as being able to call as such:
import scipy.interpolate as irp
rgi = irp.RegularGridInterpolator(X, F)
However, when I do so, I get the following error:
ValueError: There are 8 point arrays, but values has 1 dimensions
What am I misinterpreting in the docs?
Ok I feel silly when I answer my own question, but I found my mistake with help from the documentation of the original regulargrid lib:
https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/regulargrid
points should be a list of arrays that specifies how the points are spaced along each axis.
For example, to take the unit cube as above, I should set:
pts = ( np.array([0,1.]), )*3
or if I had data which was sampled at higher resolution along the last axis, I might set:
pts = ( np.array([0,1.]), np.array([0,1.]), np.array([0,0.5,1.]) )
Finally, values has to be of shape corresponding to the grid laid out implicitly by points. For example,
val_size = map(lambda q: q.shape[0], pts)
vals = np.zeros( val_size )
# make an arbitrary function to test:
func = lambda pt: (pt**2).sum()
# collect func's values at grid pts
for i in range(pts[0].shape[0]):
for j in range(pts[1].shape[0]):
for k in range(pts[2].shape[0]):
vals[i,j,k] = func(np.array([pts[0][i], pts[1][j], pts[2][k]]))
So finally,
rgi = irp.RegularGridInterpolator(points=pts, values=vals)
runs and performs as desired.
Your answer is nicer, and it's perfectly OK for you to accept it. I'm just adding this as an "alternate" way to script it.
import numpy as np
import scipy.interpolate as spint
RGI = spint.RegularGridInterpolator
x = np.linspace(0, 1, 3) # or 0.5*np.arange(3.) works too
# populate the 3D array of values (re-using x because lazy)
X, Y, Z = np.meshgrid(x, x, x, indexing='ij')
vals = np.sin(X) + np.cos(Y) + np.tan(Z)
# make the interpolator, (list of 1D axes, values at all points)
rgi = RGI(points=[x, x, x], values=vals) # can also be [x]*3 or (x,)*3
tst = (0.47, 0.49, 0.53)
print rgi(tst)
print np.sin(tst[0]) + np.cos(tst[1]) + np.tan(tst[2])
returns:

Consider a matrix Z that contains grid-based results for z = z(a,m,e). Z has shape (len(aGrid), len(mGrid), len(eGrid)). Z[0,1,2] contains the z(a=aGrid[0], m=mGrid[1], e=eGrid[2]). However, we may have removed some elements from the state space from the object (for example and simplicity, (a,m,e : a > 3). Say that the size of the valid state space is x.
I have been suggested a code to transform this object to an object Z2 of shape (x, 3). Every row in Z2 corresponds to an element i from Z2: (aGrid[a[i]], mGrid[m[i]], eGrid[e[i]]).
# first create Z, a mesh grid based matrix that has some invalid states (we set them to NaN)
aGrid = np.arange(0, 10, dtype=float)
mGrid = np.arange(100, 110, dtype=float)
eGrid = np.arange(1000, 1200, dtype=float)
A,M,E = np.meshgrid(aGrid, mGrid, eGrid, indexing='ij')
Z = A
Z[Z > 3] = np.NaN #remove some states from being "allowed"
# now, translate them from shape (len(aGrid), len(mGrid), len(eGrid)) to
grids = [A,M,E]
grid_bc = np.broadcast_arrays(*grids)
Z2 = np.column_stack([g.ravel() for g in grid_bc])
Z2[np.isnan(Z.ravel())] = np.nan
Z3 = Z2[~np.isnan(Z2)]
Through some computation, I then get a matrix V4 that has the shape of Z3 but contains 4 columns.
I am given
Z2 (as above)
Z3 (as above)
V4 which is a matrix shape (Z3.shape[0], Z3.shape[1]+1): it has an additional column appended
(if necessary, I still have access to the grid A,M,E)
and I need to recreate
V, which is the matrix that contains the values (of the last column) of V4, but is transformed back to the shape of Z1.
That is, if there is a row in V4 that reads (aGrid[0], mGrid[1], eGrid[2], v1), then the the value of V at V[0,1,2] = v1, etc. for all rows in V4,
Efficiency is key.
Given your original problem conditions, recreated as follows, modified such that A is a copy of Z:
aGrid = np.arange(0, 10, dtype=float)
mGrid = np.arange(100, 110, dtype=float)
eGrid = np.arange(1000, 1200, dtype=float)
A,M,E = np.meshgrid(aGrid, mGrid, eGrid, indexing='ij')
Z = A.copy()
Z[Z > 3] = np.NaN
grids = [A,M,E]
grid_bc = np.broadcast_arrays(*grids)
Z2 = np.column_stack([g.ravel() for g in grid_bc])
Z2[np.isnan(Z.ravel())] = np.nan
Z3 = Z2[~np.isnan(Z2)]
A function can be defined as follows, to recreate a dense N-D matrix from a sparse 2D # data points x # dims + 1 matrix. The first argument of the function is the aformentioned 2D matrix, the last (optional) arguments are the grid indexes for each dimension:
import numpy as np
def map_array_to_index(uniq_arr):
return np.vectorize(dict(map(reversed, enumerate(uniq_arr))).__getitem__)
def recreate(arr, *coord_arrays):
if len(coord_arrays) != arr.shape[1] - 1:
coord_arrays = map(np.unique, arr.T[0:-1])
lookups = map(map_array_to_index, coord_arrays)
new_array = np.nan * np.ones(map(len, coord_arrays))
new_array[tuple(l(c) for c, l in zip(arr.T[0:-1], lookups))] = arr[:, -1]
new_grids = np.meshgrid(*coord_arrays, indexing='ij')
return new_array, new_grids
Given a 2D matrix V4, defined above with values derived from Z,
V4 = np.column_stack([g.ravel() for g in grid_bc] + [Z.ravel()])
it is possible to recreate Z as follows:
V4_orig_form, V4_grids = recreate(V4, aGrid, mGrid, eGrid)
All non-NaN values correctly test for equality:
np.all(Z[~np.isnan(Z)] == V4_orig_form[~np.isnan(V4_orig_form)])
The function also works without aGrid, mGrid, eGrid passed in, but in this case it will not include any coordinate that is not present in the corresponding column of the input array.
So Z is the same shape as A,M,E; and Z2 is the shape (Z.ravel(),len(grids)) = (10x10x200, 3) in this case (if you do not filter out the NaN elements).
This is how you recreate your grids from the values of Z2:
grids = Z2.T
A,M,E = [g.reshape(A.shape) for g in grids]
Z = A # or whatever other calculation you need here
The only thing you need is the shape to which you want to go back. NaN will propagate to the final array.
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.)
