How To Get All Array Edges?
Solution 1:
In [1]: arr=np.arange(16).reshape(4,4)
In [2]: arr
Out[2]:
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14, 15]])
A relatively straight forward way of doing this - in clockwise order is:
In [5]: alist=[arr[0,:-1], arr[:-1,-1], arr[-1,::-1], arr[-2:0:-1,0]]
In [6]: alist
Out[6]: [array([0, 1, 2]), array([ 3, 7, 11]), array([15, 14, 13, 12]), array([8, 4])]
In [7]: np.concatenate(alist)
Out[7]: array([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 15, 14, 13, 12, 8, 4])
In a sense it's a loop, in that I have to build 4 slices. But if 4 is small compared to n
, that's a small price. It has to concatenate at some level.
If order doesn't matter we could simplify the slices some (e.g. forgetting the reverse order, etc).
alist=[arr[0,:], arr[1:,-1], arr[-1,:-1], arr[1:-1,0]]
If I didn't care about order, or double counting the corners I could use:
np.array([arr[[0,n],:], arr[:,[0,n]].T]).ravel()
eliminating the duplicate corners
In [18]: np.concatenate((arr[[0,n],:].ravel(), arr[1:-1,[0,n]].ravel()))
Out[18]: array([ 0, 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 4, 7, 8, 11])
Solution 2:
Here's one vectorized approach to create a mask of such edge pixels/elements and then simply indexing into the array to get those -
def border_elems(a, W): # Input array : a, Edgewidth : W
n = a.shape[0]
r = np.minimum(np.arange(n)[::-1], np.arange(n))
return a[np.minimum(r[:,None],r)<W]
Again, this not exactly meant for performance, but more for cases when you might to vary the edge-width or just create such a mask of such edge elements. The mask would be : np.minimum(r[:,None],r)<W
as created at the last step.
Sample run -
In [89]: a
Out[89]:
array([[49, 49, 12, 90, 42],
[91, 58, 92, 16, 78],
[97, 19, 58, 84, 84],
[86, 31, 80, 78, 69],
[29, 95, 38, 51, 92]])
In [90]: border_elems(a,1)
Out[90]: array([49, 49, 12, 90, 42, 91, 78, 97, 84, 86, 69, 29, 95, 38, 51, 92])
In [91]: border_elems(a,2) # Note this will selectall but the center one : 58Out[91]:
array([49, 49, 12, 90, 42, 91, 58, 92, 16, 78, 97, 19, 84, 84, 86, 31, 80,
78, 69, 29, 95, 38, 51, 92])
For generic shape, we can extend like so -
def border_elems_generic(a, W): # Input array : a, Edgewidth : W
n1 = a.shape[0]
r1 = np.minimum(np.arange(n1)[::-1], np.arange(n1))
n2 = a.shape[1]
r2 = np.minimum(np.arange(n2)[::-1], np.arange(n2))
return a[np.minimum(r1[:,None],r2)<W]
2D convolution
based solution for generic shape
Here's another with 2D convolution
that takes care of generic 2D shape -
from scipy.signal import convolve2d
k = np.ones((3,3),dtype=int) # kernel
boundary_elements = a[convolve2d(np.ones(a.shape,dtype=int),k,'same')<9]
Sample run -
In [36]: a
Out[36]:
array([[4, 3, 8, 3, 1],
[1, 5, 6, 6, 7],
[9, 5, 2, 5, 9],
[2, 2, 8, 4, 7]])
In [38]: k = np.ones((3,3),dtype=int)
In [39]: a[convolve2d(np.ones(a.shape,dtype=int),k,'same')<9]
Out[39]: array([4, 3, 8, 3, 1, 1, 7, 9, 9, 2, 2, 8, 4, 7])
Solution 3:
Assuming your list is in the following format:
l = [
[4, 5, 6, 7],
[2, 2, 6, 3],
[4, 4, 9, 4],
[8, 1, 6, 1]
]
You can achieve what you want with this quick one-liner, using list comprehensions:
out = list(l[0]) + # [4, 5, 6, 7]list([i[-1] for i in l[1:-1]]) + # [3, 4]list(reversed(l[-1])) + # [1, 6, 1, 8]list(reversed([i[0] for i in l[1:-1]])) # [4, 2]print(out) # gives [4, 5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 1, 6, 1, 8, 4, 2]
This works whether you have a plain python list or a numpy array.
Regarding efficiency, using %timeit
on a 20000x20000 matrix, this method took 16.4ms
.
l = np.random.random(20000, 20000)
%timeit list(l[0]) + list(...) + list(...) + list(...)
100 loops, best of 3: 16.4 ms per loop
I'm sure there are more efficient methods to accomplish this task, but I think that's pretty good for a one-liner solution.
Solution 4:
It's probably slower than the alternatives mentioned in the other answers because it's creating a mask (which was my use-case then) it can be used in your case:
defmask_borders(arr, num=1):
mask = np.zeros(arr.shape, bool)
for dim inrange(arr.ndim):
mask[tuple(slice(0, num) if idx == dim elseslice(None) for idx inrange(arr.ndim))] = True
mask[tuple(slice(-num, None) if idx == dim elseslice(None) for idx inrange(arr.ndim))] = Truereturn mask
As already said this creates and returns a mask
where the borders are masked (True
):
>>> mask_borders(np.ones((5,5)))
array([[ True, True, True, True, True],
[ True, False, False, False, True],
[ True, False, False, False, True],
[ True, False, False, False, True],
[ True, True, True, True, True]], dtype=bool)
>>> # Besides supporting arbitary dimensional input it can mask multiple border rows/cols>>> mask_borders(np.ones((5,5)), 2)
array([[ True, True, True, True, True],
[ True, True, True, True, True],
[ True, True, False, True, True],
[ True, True, True, True, True],
[ True, True, True, True, True]], dtype=bool)
To get the "border" values this needs to be applied with boolean indexing to your array:
>>> arr = np.array([[4,5,6,7], [2,2,6,3], [4,4,9,4], [8,1,6,1]])
>>> arr[mask_borders(arr)]
array([4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 4, 8, 1, 6, 1])
Solution 5:
You can also use itertools.groupby
and list comprehension
like the example below:
a = [
[4,5,6,7],
[2,2,6,3],
[4,4,9,4],
[8,1,6,1],
]
from itertools import groupby
defedges(a = list):
final, i = [], []
for k, _ in groupby(a[1:-1], lambda x : [x[0], x[-1]]):
i += k
return a[0] + [k for n inrange(1,len(i), 2) for k in i[n:n+1]] + a[-1][::-1] + [k for n inrange(0, len(i), 2) for k in i[n:n+1] ][::-1]
Output:
print(edges(a))
>>> [4, 5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 1, 6, 1, 8, 4, 2]
Test using timeit
:
a = [
[4,5,6,7],
[2,2,6,3],
[4,4,9,4],
[8,1,6,1],
]
from itertools import groupby
defedges():
final, i = [], []
for k, _ in groupby(a[1:-1], lambda x : [x[0], x[-1]]):
i += k
return a[0] + [k for n inrange(1,len(i), 2) for k in i[n:n+1]] + a[-1][::-1] + [k for n inrange(0, len(i), 2) for k in i[n:n+1] ][::-1]
if __name__ == '__main__':
import timeit
print(timeit.timeit("edges()", setup="from __main__ import edges", number = 100))
