Fw: [Numpy-discussion] numarray.records - get/set item
by Sebastian Haase Jan. 16, 2004

Jan. 16, 2004

My situation where I got onto this, is having one field named 'mmm' ("MinMaxMean") being an 3 element array. Now, to assign the values first I tried: self.hdrArray = makeHdrArray(self.h) #this makes the record array self.hdr = self.hdrArray[0].field #this is my shortcut to the bound member function # it essentially is a solution (hack) for the getitem part # but regarding setitem I had to learn that "assigning to a function" is illigal in Python - as opposed to C++ #so to do assignment I need to do: self.hdr('mmm')[0], self.hdr('mmm')[1], self.hdr('mmm')[2] = (mi,ma,av) now that I'm looking at it, self.hdrArray[0].setfield('mmm', (mi,ma,av)) would probably be better... How about adding an attribute 'f' which could serve as a "proxy" to allow: myRec.f.mmm = (mi,ma,av) and maybe even additionally: myRec.f['mmm'] = (mi,ma,av) Regards, Sebastian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Perry Greenfield" <perry(a)stsci.edu> To: "Sebastian Haase" <haase(a)msg.ucsf.edu>; <numpy-discussion(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 3:08 PM Subject: RE: [Numpy-discussion] numarray.records - get/set item > > Hi, > > Is it maybe a good idea to add this to the definition of 'class Record' > > > > class Record: > > """Class for one single row.""" > > <snip> > > def __getitem__(self, fieldName): > > return self.array.field(fieldName)[self.row] > > def __setitem__(self, fieldName, value): > > self.array.field(fieldName)[self.row] = value > > > > I don't know about the implications if __delitem __ and so on are not > > defined. > > I just think it would look quite nice to say > > myRecArr[0]['mmm'] = 'hallo' > > as opposed to > > myRecArr[0].setfield('mmm', 'hallo') > > > > Actually I would even like > > myRecArr[0].mmm = 'hallo' > > > > This should be possible by defining __setattr__. > > It would obviously only work for fieldnames that do not contain '.' or ' ' > > or ... > > > > Any comments ? > > > > > We've had many internal discussions about doing this.

Tabs in numarray code
by Edward C. Jones Jan. 16, 2004

Jan. 16, 2004

What are the policies about tab characters in numarray Python and C code? What are the policies about indentation in numarray Python and C code? The following small program found a bunch of tabs in numarray code: -------- #! /usr/local/bin/python import os topdir = '/usr/local/src/numarray-0.8/' for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(topdir): for name in filenames: if name.endswith('.py'): fullname = os.path.join(dirpath, name) lines = file(fullname, 'r').read().splitlines() for i, line in enumerate(lines): if '\t' in line: print fullname[len(topdir):], i+1, line

The "Numpy-discussion Archives" at "https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/numpy-discussion" are down or missing. Is there a problem?

It would help if someone could describe the intended functional differences between _clone, copy and view in numarray. Colin W.

License.txt inclussion breaks McMillan's Installer.
by Tim Hochberg Jan. 9, 2004

Jan. 9, 2004

The way LICENSE.txt is included in the __init__ file for numarray breaks McMillan's installer (and probably py2exe as well, although I haven't checked that). The offending line is: __LICENSE__ = open(_os.path.join(__path__[0],"LICENSE.txt")).read() The first problem is that the installer doesn't pick up the dependancy on LICENSE.txt. That's not a huge deal as it's relatively simple to add that to the list of dependancy's by hand. More serious is that the __path__ variable is bogus in an installer archive so that the reading of the license file fails, even if it's present. One solution is just include the license text directly instead of reading it from a separate file. This is simple and the license is short enough that this shouldn't clutter things too much. It's not like there's all that much in the __init__ file anyway <0.5 wink>. A second solution is to wrap the above incantation in try, except; however, this doesn't guarantee that the license file is included. A third solution is to come up with a different incantation that works for installer. I've looked at this briefly and it looks a little messy. Nevertheless, I'll come up with something that works if this is deemed the preferred solution. Someone else will have to figure out what works with py2exe. [ If the above makes no sense to those of you unfamilar with McMillan's installer, I apologize -- ask away and I'll try to clarify] Regards -tim

RE: [Numpy-discussion] Update for IM. a small image processing system

I am producing and reading 16 bit tiff files using PIL. These files however can not be displayed by most image processing programs (gimp does fine). Nadav -----Original Message----- From: Peter Verveer [mailto:verveer@embl-heidelberg.de] Sent: Thu 08-Jan-04 11:41 To: Sebastian Haase; numpy-discussion(a)lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Subject: Re: [Numpy-discussion] Update for IM. a small image processing system Hi Sebastian, I use the 1.1.4 final version. I do however, have images that are not read by PIL ('cannot identify image file'). I think these files are okay, since I can read them in a scientific imaging program. So maybe the 16bit support in PIL is not complete.

Update for IM. a small image processing system
by Edward C. Jones Jan. 8, 2004

Jan. 8, 2004

IM I have uploaded a new version of my small image processing system IM to "http://members.tripod.com/~edcjones/IM-01.01.04.tar.gz". Most of the code in IM (pronounced "I'm") is inferior to "nd_image" so I will eventually convert it all to "nd_image". Some features are: Wrappers for some useful functions in the numarray API. NA_GetType NA_TypeName NA_GetTypeFromTypeno NA_TypenoFromType SafeCastCheck Standardized parameters Module(arrin), TypeCode(arrin), Width(arrin), Height(arrin), Bands(arrin), Mode(arrin), NatypeOrMode(arrin), and BytesPerItem(arrin) Open and Save ArrayToArrayCast Converts between array types and formats. Out of range values are clipped. Some additions to numarray BlockReduce, MultiReduce, BlockMean, CountNonZero, CountZeros, Stretch (grey level range), Zoom, Shrink, and Saturate. Convert an array to a list of (array[i,j], i, j) or a dictionary with entries d[(i,j)] = array[i,j]. Sliding window operators including MeanX and HaarX which have masking. Only the unmasked pixels are averaged when finding a mean. For MeanX and HaarX, a border is added to the image. The pixels in the border become the masked pixels. THOUGHTS There are many open source image processing systems but most of them get only to the Canny edge operator and then stop. A sample of the better ones are: ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/ OpenCV http://www.intel.com/research/mrl/research/opencv/ Xite http://www.ifi.uio.no/forskning/grupper/dsb/Software/Xite/ VXL http://vxl.sourceforge.net/ Gandalf http://sourceforge.net/projects/gandalf-library/ imgSeek http://imgseek.sourceforge.net/ And then there is the huge and hard to use "Image Understanding Environment" (IUE) at "http://www.aai.com/AAI/IUE/IUE.html". Has anyone used this? A good starting point is "The Computer Vision Homepage" at "http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~cil/vision.html". At this site there is a list of published software. A well-known example is the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi Feature Tracker coded by Stan Birchfield at "http://vision.stanford.edu/~birch/klt/". Thanks. Note how short the software list is compared with the size of the computer vision lterature. Why does so little software exists for the more advanced parts of computer vision? I feel this is mostly because academic researchers seldom publish their software. In some cases (for example, face recognition software) there are financial motives. In most cases. I suspect that there is no pressure on the researchers from journals or department chairmen to publish the software. So they avoid the work of making their software presentable by not releasing it. The result are many unreproduced experiments and slow transitions of new algorithms out of academia. A good computer vision system Has an easy to use and widely used scripting language. Python Has powerful array processing capabilities. numarray, nd_image Wraps a variety of other computer vision systems. The wrapping process should be straightforward. SWIG, Pyrex, Psyco, ..., and the Python API. Provides a uniform interface to its components. Is used by many people.

Yes, it is straight-forward, in a way, but I'm always scouring the net for C and Python algorithms. Very (most?) often they're better than my own. This app is really a proof-of-concept; hopefully others will incorporate the "clipped image stacking" into their already fine astro apps. The problem is that the standard methods - median, mean, or summing - all suffer when long images in unequal exposure stacks have large clipped regions. Thanks, Ray http://rjs.org
