AffineTransform

class skimage.transform.AffineTransform(matrix=None, scale=None, rotation=None, shear=None, translation=None)

Bases: skimage.transform._geometric.ProjectiveTransform

2D affine transformation of the form:

X = a0*x + a1*y + a2 =
  = sx*x*cos(rotation) - sy*y*sin(rotation + shear) + a2

Y = b0*x + b1*y + b2 =
  = sx*x*sin(rotation) + sy*y*cos(rotation + shear) + b2

PiecewiseAffineTransform

class skimage.transform.PiecewiseAffineTransform

Bases: skimage.transform._geometric.GeometricTransform

2D piecewise affine transformation.

Control points are used to define the mapping. The transform is based on a Delaunay triangulation of the points to form a mesh. Each triangle is used to find a local affine transform.

Attributes

affines list of AffineTransform objects Affine transformations for each triangle in the mesh.
inverse_affines list of AffineTransform objects Inverse affine transformations for each triangle in the mesh.
__init__()
estimate(src, dst)

Set the control points with which to perform the piecewise mapping.

Number of source and destination coordinates must match.

Parameters:

src : (N, 2) array

Source coordinates.

dst : (N, 2) array

Destination coordinates.

inverse(coords)

Apply inverse transformation.

Coordinates outside of the mesh will be set to - 1.

Parameters:

coords : (N, 2) array

Source coordinates.

Returns:

coords : (N, 2) array

PolynomialTransform

class skimage.transform.PolynomialTransform(params=None)

Bases: skimage.transform._geometric.GeometricTransform

2D transformation of the form:

X = sum[j=0:order]( sum[i=0:j]( a_ji * x**(j - i) * y**i ))
Y = sum[j=0:order]( sum[i=0:j]( b_ji * x**(j - i) * y**i ))
Parameters:

params : (2, N) array, optional

Polynomial coefficients where N * 2 = (order + 1) * (order + 2). So, a_ji is defined in params[0, :] and b_ji in params[1, :].

Attributes

__init__(params=None)
estimate(src, dst, order=2)

Set the transformation matrix with the explicit transformation parameters.

You can determine the over-, well- and under-determined parameters with the total least-squares method.

Number of source and destination coordinates must match.

The transformation is defined as:

X = sum[j=0:order]( sum[i=0:j]( a_ji * x**(j - i) * y**i ))
Y = sum[j=0:order]( sum[i=0:j]( b_ji * x**(j - i) * y**i ))

These equations can be transformed to the following form:

0 = sum[j=0:order]( sum[i=0:j]( a_ji * x**(j - i) * y**i )) - X
0 = sum[j=0:order]( sum[i=0:j]( b_ji * x**(j - i) * y**i )) - Y

which exist for each set of corresponding points, so we have a set of N * 2 equations. The coefficients appear linearly so we can write A x = 0, where:

A   = [[1 x y x**2 x*y y**2 ... 0 ...             0 -X]
       [0 ...                 0 1 x y x**2 x*y y**2 -Y]
        ...
        ...
      ]
x.T = [a00 a10 a11 a20 a21 a22 ... ann
       b00 b10 b11 b20 b21 b22 ... bnn c3]

In case of total least-squares the solution of this homogeneous system of equations is the right singular vector of A which corresponds to the smallest singular value normed by the coefficient c3.

Parameters:

src : (N, 2) array

Source coordinates.

dst : (N, 2) array

Destination coordinates.

order : int, optional

inverse(coords)

ProjectiveTransform

class skimage.transform.ProjectiveTransform(matrix=None)

Bases: skimage.transform._geometric.GeometricTransform

Matrix transformation.

Apply a projective transformation (homography) on coordinates.

For each homogeneous coordinate \mathbf{x} = [x, y, 1]^T, its target position is calculated by multiplying with the given matrix, H, to give H \mathbf{x}:

[[a0 a1 a2]
 [b0 b1 b2]
 [c0 c1 1 ]].

E.g., to rotate by theta degrees clockwise, the matrix should be:

[[cos(theta) -sin(theta) 0]
 [sin(theta)  cos(theta) 0]
 [0            0         1]]

or, to translate x by 10 and y by 20:

[[1 0 10]
 [0 1 20]
 [0 0 1 ]].
Parameters:

matrix : (3, 3) array, optional

Homogeneous transformation matrix.

Attributes

params (3, 3) array Homogeneous transformation matrix.
__init__(matrix=None)
estimate(src, dst)

Set the transformation matrix with the explicit transformation parameters.

You can determine the over-, well- and under-determined parameters with the total least-squares method.

Number of source and destination coordinates must match.

The transformation is defined as:

X = (a0*x + a1*y + a2) / (c0*x + c1*y + 1)
Y = (b0*x + b1*y + b2) / (c0*x + c1*y + 1)

These equations can be transformed to the following form:

0 = a0*x + a1*y + a2 - c0*x*X - c1*y*X - X
0 = b0*x + b1*y + b2 - c0*x*Y - c1*y*Y - Y

which exist for each set of corresponding points, so we have a set of N * 2 equations. The coefficients appear linearly so we can write A x = 0, where:

A   = [[x y 1 0 0 0 -x*X -y*X -X]
       [0 0 0 x y 1 -x*Y -y*Y -Y]
        ...
        ...
      ]
x.T = [a0 a1 a2 b0 b1 b2 c0 c1 c3]

In case of total least-squares the solution of this homogeneous system of equations is the right singular vector of A which corresponds to the smallest singular value normed by the coefficient c3.

In case of the affine transformation the coefficients c0 and c1 are 0. Thus the system of equations is:

A   = [[x y 1 0 0 0 -X]
       [0 0 0 x y 1 -Y]
        ...
        ...
      ]
x.T = [a0 a1 a2 b0 b1 b2 c3]
Parameters:

src : (N, 2) array

Source coordinates.

dst : (N, 2) array

Destination coordinates.

X = a0 * x - b0 * y + a1 =
  = m * x * cos(rotation) - m * y * sin(rotation) + a1

Y = b0 * x + a0 * y + b1 =
  = m * x * sin(rotation) + m * y * cos(rotation) + b1

where m is a zoom factor and the homogeneous transformation matrix is:

[[a0  b0  a1]
 [b0  a0  b1]

Number of source and destination coordinates must match.

The transformation is defined as:

X = a0 * x - b0 * y + a1
Y = b0 * x + a0 * y + b1

These equations can be transformed to the following form:

0 = a0 * x - b0 * y + a1 - X
0 = b0 * x + a0 * y + b1 - Y

which exist for each set of corresponding points, so we have a set of N * 2 equations. The coefficients appear linearly so we can write A x = 0, where:

A   = [[x 1 -y 0 -X]
       [y 0  x 1 -Y]
        ...
        ...
      ]
x.T = [a0 a1 b0 b1 c3]

iradon

skimage.transform.iradon(radon_image, theta=None, output_size=None, filter='ramp', interpolation='linear', circle=False)

Inverse radon transform.

Reconstruct an image from the radon transform, using the filtered back projection algorithm.

Parameters:

radon_image : array_like, dtype=float

Image containing radon transform (sinogram). Each column of the image corresponds to a projection along a different angle. The tomography rotation axis should lie at the pixel index radon_image.shape[0] // 2 along the 0th dimension of radon_image.

theta : array_like, dtype=float, optional

Reconstruction angles (in degrees). Default: m angles evenly spaced between 0 and 180 (if the shape of radon_image is (N, M)).

output_size : int

Number of rows and columns in the reconstruction.

filter : str, optional (default ramp)

Filter used in frequency domain filtering. Ramp filter used by default. Filters available: ramp, shepp-logan, cosine, hamming, hann. Assign None to use no filter.

interpolation : str, optional (default ‘linear’)

Interpolation method used in reconstruction. Methods available: ‘linear’, ‘nearest’, and ‘cubic’ (‘cubic’ is slow).

circle : boolean, optional

Assume the reconstructed image is zero outside the inscribed circle. Also changes the default output_size to match the behaviour of radon called with circle=True.

Returns:

reconstructed : ndarray

Reconstructed image. The rotation axis will be located in the pixel with indices (reconstructed.shape[0] // 2, reconstructed.shape[1] // 2).

Notes

It applies the Fourier slice theorem to reconstruct an image by multiplying the frequency domain of the filter with the FFT of the projection data. This algorithm is called filtered back projection.

iradon_sart

skimage.transform.iradon_sart(radon_image, theta=None, image=None, projection_shifts=None, clip=None, relaxation=0.15)

Inverse radon transform

Reconstruct an image from the radon transform, using a single iteration of the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART) algorithm.

Parameters:

radon_image : 2D array, dtype=float

Image containing radon transform (sinogram). Each column of the image corresponds to a projection along a different angle. The tomography rotation axis should lie at the pixel index radon_image.shape[0] // 2 along the 0th dimension of radon_image.

theta : 1D array, dtype=float, optional

Reconstruction angles (in degrees). Default: m angles evenly spaced between 0 and 180 (if the shape of radon_image is (N, M)).

image : 2D array, dtype=float, optional

projection_shifts : 1D array, dtype=float

Shift the projections contained in radon_image (the sinogram) by this many pixels before reconstructing the image. The i’th value defines the shift of the i’th column of radon_image.

clip : length-2 sequence of floats

Force all values in the reconstructed tomogram to lie in the range [clip[0], clip[1]]

relaxation : float

Relaxation parameter for the update step. A higher value can improve the convergence rate, but one runs the risk of instabilities. Values close to or higher than 1 are not recommended.

Returns:

reconstructed : ndarray

Reconstructed image. The rotation axis will be located in the pixel with indices (reconstructed.shape[0] // 2, reconstructed.shape[1] // 2).

Notes

Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques are based on formulating the tomography reconstruction problem as a set of linear equations. Along each ray, the projected value is the sum of all the values of the cross section along the ray. A typical feature of SART (and a few other variants of algebraic techniques) is that it samples the cross section at equidistant points along the ray, using linear interpolation between the pixel values of the cross section. The resulting set of linear equations are then solved using a slightly modified Kaczmarz method.

When using SART, a single iteration is usually sufficient to obtain a good reconstruction. Further iterations will tend to enhance high-frequency information, but will also often increase the noise.

Notes

In case of a SimilarityTransform, AffineTransform and ProjectiveTransform and order in [0, 3] this function uses the underlying transformation matrix to warp the image with a much faster routine.

Examples

>>> from skimage.transform import warp
>>> from skimage import data
>>> image = data.camera()

The following image warps are all equal but differ substantially in execution time. The image is shifted to the bottom.

Use a geometric transform to warp an image (fast):

>>> from skimage.transform import SimilarityTransform
>>> tform = SimilarityTransform(translation=(0, -10))
>>> warped = warp(image, tform)

Use a callable (slow):

>>> def shift_down(xy):
...     xy[:, 1] -= 10
...     return xy
>>> warped = warp(image, shift_down)

Use a transformation matrix to warp an image (fast):

>>> matrix = np.array([[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, -10], [0, 0, 1]])
>>> warped = warp(image, matrix)
>>> from skimage.transform import ProjectiveTransform
>>> warped = warp(image, ProjectiveTransform(matrix=matrix))

You can also use the inverse of a geometric transformation (fast):

>>> warped = warp(image, tform.inverse)

warp_coords

skimage.transform.warp_coords(coord_map, shape, dtype=<type 'numpy.float64'>)

Build the source coordinates for the output pixels of an image warp.

Parameters:

coord_map : callable like GeometricTransform.inverse

Return input coordinates for given output coordinates. Coordinates are in the shape (P, 2), where P is the number of coordinates and each element is a (x, y) pair.

shape : tuple

Shape of output image (rows, cols[, bands]).

dtype : np.dtype or string

dtype for return value (sane choices: float32 or float64).

Returns:

coords : (ndim, rows, cols[, bands]) array of dtype dtype

Coordinates for scipy.ndimage.map_coordinates, that will yield an image of shape (orows, ocols, bands) by drawing from source points according to the coord_transform_fn.

Notes

This is a lower-level routine that produces the source coordinates used by warp().

It is provided separately from warp to give additional flexibility to users who would like, for example, to re-use a particular coordinate mapping, to use specific dtypes at various points along the the image-warping process, or to implement different post-processing logic than warp performs after the call to ndimage.map_coordinates.

Examples

Produce a coordinate map that Shifts an image up and to the right:

>>> from skimage import data
>>> from scipy.ndimage import map_coordinates
>>>
>>> def shift_up10_left20(xy):
...     return xy - np.array([-20, 10])[None, :]
>>>
>>> image = data.lena().astype(np.float32)
>>> coords = warp_coords(shift_up10_left20, image.shape)
>>> warped_image = map_coordinates(image, coords)
