Some hints: - pad image with skimage.util.pad, which allows a large number of padding methods - spawn a pool of processes using Python's multiprocessing package in the standard library - use shared memory to provide read access to complete image - define slices of image blocks and add them to a processing queue Am 31.08.2013 um 20:05 schrieb Riaan van den Dool <riaanvddool@gmail.com>:
The blockproc function's signature provides a useful starting point, thanks. http://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/blockproc.html
I will have to think about how to do the parallel execution from the function.
Blockproc provides two 'padding' methods: replicate and symmetric. I guess what I need could be called margin, or overlap perhaps.
For the margin case it might make sense that such a function merely returns an array of block definitions, rather than blocks of pixel data. But this would not be so applicable for the replicate and symmetric cases I think.

Unfortunately we do not have (at least I do not know of) a function similar to Matlab's `blockproc`. Such feature would be a great addition to skimage!

Hi guys
I would like to use scikit-image to process large images, for example (5696, 13500).
In the interest of speed I need to divide the image into smaller sub-images with the possibility of processing these in parallel.
If I define the sub-images so that neighbouring sub-images overlap then edge effects should not be a problem for the algorithm operating on each sub-image.
This is probably a specific case of the more general border/edge-effect handling issue as addressed by the mode parameter here: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.ndimage.filters.co...
My questions: • Is there already a image-division function/strategy implemented in scikit-image? • Is this something that might be included in future if an implementation is available? • Please share any references to articles or code that deals with this. Riaan
