[Numpy-discussion] avoiding loops when downsampling arrays

[Sturla Molden]

Something like this:

m,n = data.shape
x = data.reshape((m,n//4,4))
z  = (x[0::4,...] >= t1) & (x[0::4,...] <= t1)
z |= (x[1::4,...] >= t1) & (x[1::4,...] <= t1)
z |= (x[2::4,...] >= t1) & (x[2::4,...] <= t1)
z |= (x[3::4,...] >= t1) & (x[3::4,...] <= t1)
found = np.any(z, axis=2)

> Short answer: Create 16 view arrays, each with a stride of 4 in both dimensions. Test them against the conditions and combine the tests with an |= operator. Thus you replace the nested loop with one that has only 16 iterations. Or reshape to 3 dimensions, the last with length 4, and you can do the same with only four view arrays.
