Hi Michael, It makes a lot of sense that this would fail, but skimage.filter.rank.mean<http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/api/skimage.filter.rank.html#mean>has a `mask` keyword argument that can do what you want. However, it only works for uint8 or uint16 images, *and* if I remember correctly, it will be much slower if values exceed 12 bits, that is, your image intensity values should be in [0, 4096).

...

...

from skimage.filter import rank arr = array([[np.nan, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, np.nan]]) # make sure this is 2D selem = np.ones((3, 3)) arr_mean1 = rank.mean(arr.astype(np.uint8), selem) arr_mean1 array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2]], dtype=uint8)

...

...

arr.astype(np.uint8) # nan's are actually converted to 0... Not good! array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0]], dtype=uint8)

...

...

nan_mask = True - np.isnan(arr) arr_mean2 = rank.mean(arr.astype(np.uint8), selem, mask=nan_mask) arr_mean2 # using the nan mask produces the correct output array([[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5]], dtype=uint8)

Hope this helps! Juan. On Mon, Sep 2, 2013 at 10:12 PM, Michael Aye <kmichael.aye@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi!

I am trying to use ndimage's uniform_filter (for a simple local mean filtering) on a map-projected image that has NAN's at the border (basically the corners where the rotated map projected image does not fit into the rectangular grid). Is there a way, maybe in skimage, to use a uniform_filter on an array that contains NANs? ndimage' version does not cope with it correctly:

...

arr = array([np.nan, 1,2,3,4,5,np.nan]) arr

array([ nan, 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., nan])

...

nd.filters.uniform_filter(arr, 3)

array([ nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan])

Cheers,

Michael
