Final note - umfpack enables mode='cg' in random_walker, which is better than brute force but not the fastest or most efficient mode. The multi-grid preconditioned conjugate gradient method is: mode='cg_mg'. This is enabled by pyamg, which is independent of umfpack and is considerably easier to install and use than the method I just described. Come to think of it, we probably should suppress that warning if import pyamg works. It incorrectly implies the user doesn't have the fastest mode available.

SciPy has a number of optional dependencies, which `pip` doesn't attempt to install. Largely because several of them are not directly Python based, and `pip` isn't a true package manager. Without them SciPy builds and runs, but certain pieces either run slower (in this case, parts of `scipy.sparse`) or don't exist at all. Near the top of the very lengthy build and compile log for SciPy there is a brief report on which optional dependencies are present at time of build. Presumably you don't have umfpack. It's also possible you do, but lack the development headers - but for the purposes of this argument, let's assume you don't. 1. The first step is to get umfpack. Doing this varies across platforms, but if you're on linux check repos first. If not, look online for the best method; I've always gotten it this way. 2. Next step is to get the development headers for umfpack. Usually in Linux package managers (yum, apt, etc.) these have the same name with `'-dev'` appended. They're what SciPy needs to find and use umfpack. 3. Finally, you'll need to remove and rebuild SciPy with `$ pip uninstall scipy` followed by `$pip install scipy`. The new build should auto-detect umfpack and build appropriately. Hopefully that helps. God help you if you're on Windows; I sure can't.

hey juan, i am using threshold_otsu for thresholding but i am not getting appropriate result. And how to use threshold_adapt? i want to convert gray image to binary image. how can i do? anybody help in this problem. thanks On Thursday, October 3, 2013 7:28:44 AM UTC+5:30, Juan Nunez-Iglesias wrote: > > Hi Stefan, > > I hope this isn't too late.

Hi guys, How do I build scipy with umfpack to silence this error: Exception AttributeError: "'UmfpackContext' object has no attribute '_symbolic'" in <bound method UmfpackContext.__del__ of <scipy.sparse.linalg.dsolve.umfpack.umfpack.UmfpackContext object at 0x101b62050>> ignored and speed up random_walker? I've just been doing a pip install scipy till now. Juan.

Hi Stefan, I hope this isn't too late. I recently had to segment out the chromosomes in this picture: [image: Inline image 1] You can see the illumination is really uneven, so `threshold_otsu` does really poorly. `threshold_adapt` works as advertised but you get some artifacts: [image: Inline image 2] The key to getting around this was seeing the "grain" in the outside regions compared to the chromosomes themselves. So after a `binary_opening` with the right parameters (don't have them off the top of my head), followed by a `remove_small_objects`: [image: Inline image 3] Hope that helps! Juan. PS: I also made this notebook<http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/github.com/jni/notebooks/raw/master/pothol…>to help Mehmet Kunt, a civil engineering professor Emmanuelle and I met at EuroSciPy, measure potholes in images.

Good, let's get these discussions started, then we can tag in about a week from now. Stéfan

I'll do that tonight. Is there as special syntax for marking a function as "experimental"?
