cucim.core.operations.color.color_jitter(img: Any, brightness=0, contrast=0, saturation=0, hue=0)#

Applies color jitter by random sequential application of 4 operations (brightness, contrast, saturation, hue).

Parameters
imgchannel first, cupy.ndarray or numpy.ndarray

Input data of shape (C, H, W). Can also batch process input of shape (N, C, H, W). Can be a numpy.ndarray or cupy.ndarray.

brightnessfloat or 2-tuple of float, optional

Non-negative factor to jitter the brightness by. When brightness is a scalar, scaling will be by a random value in range [max(0, 1 - brightness), (1 + brightness)]. brightness can also be a 2-tuple specifying the range for the random scaling factor. A value of 0 or (1, 1) will result in no change.

contrastfloat or 2-tuple of float, optional

Non-negative factor to jitter the contrast by. When contrast is a scalar, scaling will be by a random value between [max(0, 1 - contrast), (1 + contrast)]. contrast can also be a 2-tuple specifying the range for the random scaling factor. A value of 0 or (1, 1) will result in no change.

saturationfloat or 2-tuple of float, optional

Non-negative factor to jitter the saturation by. When saturation is a scalar, scaling will be by a random value between [max(0, 1 - saturation), (1 + saturation)]. saturation can also be a 2-tuple specifying the range for the random scaling factor. A value of 0 or (1, 1) will result in no change.

huefloat or 2-tuple of float, optional

Factor between [-0.5, 0.5] to jitter hue by. When hue is a scalar, scaling will be by a random value between in the range [-hue, hue]. hue can also be a 2-tuple specifying the range. A value of 0 or (0, 0) will result in no change.

Returns
outcupy.ndarray or numpy.ndarray

Output data. Same dimensions and type as input.

Raises
ValueError

If ‘brightness’,’contrast’,’saturation’ or ‘hue’ is outside of allowed range

TypeError

If input ‘img’ is not cupy.ndarray or numpy.ndarray

Examples

>>> import cucim.core.operations.color as ccl
>>> # input is channel first 3d array
>>> output_array = ccl.color_jitter(input_arr,.25,.75,.25,.04)
cucim.core.operations.color.image_to_absorbance(image, source_intensity=255.0, dtype=<class 'numpy.float32'>)#

Convert an image to units of absorbance (optical density).

Parameters
imagendarray

The image to convert to absorbance. Can be single or multichannel.

source_intensityfloat, optional

Reference intensity for image.

dtypenumpy.dtype, optional

The floating point precision at which to compute the absorbance.

Returns
absorbancendarray

The absorbance computed from image.

Notes

If image has an integer dtype it will be clipped to range [1, source_intensity], while float image inputs are clipped to range [source_intensity/255, source_intensity]. The minimum is to avoid log(0). Absorbance is then given by absorbance = log(image / source_intensity).

cucim.core.operations.color.normalize_colors_pca(image, source_intensity: float = 240.0, alpha: float = 1.0, beta: float = 0.345, ref_stain_coeff: tuple | cupy.ndarray = ((0.5626, 0.2159), (0.7201, 0.8012), (0.4062, 0.5581)), ref_max_conc: tuple | cupy.ndarray = (1.9705, 1.0308), image_type: str = 'intensity', channel_axis: int = 0)#

Extract the matrix of stain coefficient from the image.

Parameters
imagenp.ndarray

RGB image to determine concentrations for. Intensities should typically be within unsigned 8-bit integer intensity range ([0, 255]) when image_type == "intensity".

source_intensityfloat, optional

Transmitted light intensity. The algorithm will clip image intensities above the specified source_intensity and then normalize by source_intensity so that image intensities are <= 1.0. Only used when image_type==”intensity”.

alphafloat, optional

Algorithm parameter controlling the [alpha, 100 - alpha] percentile range used as a robust [min, max] estimate.

betafloat, optional

Absorbance (optical density) threshold below which to consider pixels as transparent. Transparent pixels are excluded from the estimation.

ref_stain_coeffarray-like

Reference stain coefficients as determined by the output of stain_extraction_pca for a reference image.

ref_max_conctuple or cp.ndarray

The reference maximum concentrations.

image_type{“intensity”, “absorbance”}, optional

With the default image_type of “intensity”, the image will be transformed to an absorbance using image_to_absorbance. If the input image is already an absorbance image, then image_type should be set to “absorbance” instead.

channel_axisint, optional

The axis corresponding to color channels (default is the last axis).

Returns
stain_coeffnp.ndarray

Stain attenuation coefficient matrix derived from the image, where the first column corresponds to H, the second column is E and the rows are RGB values.

Notes

The default beta of 0.345 is equivalent to the use of 0.15 in [1]. The difference is due to our use of the natural log instead of a decadic log (log10) when computing the absorbance.

morphology#

cucim.core.operations.morphology.distance_transform_edt(image, sampling=None, return_distances=True, return_indices=False, distances=None, indices=None, *, block_params=None, float64_distances=False)#

Exact Euclidean distance transform.

This function calculates the distance transform of the input, by replacing each foreground (non-zero) element, with its shortest distance to the background (any zero-valued element).

In addition to the distance transform, the feature transform can be calculated. In this case the index of the closest background element to each foreground element is returned in a separate array.

Parameters
imagearray_like

Input data to transform. Can be any type but will be converted into binary: 1 wherever image equates to True, 0 elsewhere.

samplingfloat, or sequence of float, optional

Spacing of elements along each dimension. If a sequence, must be of length equal to the image rank; if a single number, this is used for all axes. If not specified, a grid spacing of unity is implied.

return_distancesbool, optional

Whether to calculate the distance transform.

return_indicesbool, optional

Whether to calculate the feature transform.

distancescupy.ndarray, optional

An output array to store the calculated distance transform, instead of returning it. return_distances must be True. It must be the same shape as image. Should have dtype cp.float32 if float64_distances is False, otherwise it should be cp.float64.

indicescupy.ndarray, optional

An output array to store the calculated feature transform, instead of returning it. return_indicies must be True. Its shape must be (image.ndim,) + image.shape. Its dtype must be a signed or unsigned integer type of at least 16-bits in 2D or 32-bits in 3D.

Returns
distancescupy.ndarray, optional

The calculated distance transform. Returned only when return_distances is True and distances is not supplied. It will have the same shape as image. Will have dtype cp.float64 if float64_distances is True, otherwise it will have dtype cp.float32.

indicesndarray, optional

The calculated feature transform. It has an image-shaped array for each dimension of the image. See example below. Returned only when return_indices is True and indices is not supplied.

Other Parameters
block_params3-tuple of int

The m1, m2, m3 algorithm parameters as described in [2]. If None, suitable defaults will be chosen. Note: This parameter is specific to cuCIM and does not exist in SciPy.

float64_distancesbool, optional

If True, use double precision in the distance computation (to match SciPy behavior). Otherwise, single precision will be used for efficiency. Note: This parameter is specific to cuCIM and does not exist in SciPy.

Notes

The Euclidean distance transform gives values of the Euclidean distance.

\[y_i = \sqrt{\sum_{i}^{n} (x[i] - b[i])^2}\]

where \(b[i]\) is the background point (value 0) with the smallest Euclidean distance to input points \(x[i]\), and \(n\) is the number of dimensions.

Note that the indices output may differ from the one given by scipy.ndimage.distance_transform_edt() in the case of input pixels that are equidistant from multiple background points.

The parallel banding algorithm implemented here was originally described in [1]. The kernels used here correspond to the revised PBA+ implementation that is described on the author’s website [2]. The source code of the author’s PBA+ implementation is available at [3].

Color difference as given by the CIEDE 2000 standard.

CIEDE 2000 is a major revision of CIDE94. The perceptual calibration is largely based on experience with automotive paint on smooth surfaces.

Parameters
lab1array_like

reference color (Lab colorspace)

lab2array_like

comparison color (Lab colorspace)

Color difference according to CIEDE 94 standard

Accommodates perceptual non-uniformities through the use of application specific scale factors (kH, kC, kL, k1, and k2).

Parameters
lab1array_like

reference color (Lab colorspace)

lab2array_like

comparison color (Lab colorspace)

cucim.skimage.color.deltaE_cmc(lab1, lab2, kL=1, kC=1, *, channel_axis=-1)#

Color difference from the CMC l:c standard.

This color difference was developed by the Colour Measurement Committee (CMC) of the Society of Dyers and Colourists (United Kingdom). It is intended for use in the textile industry.

The scale factors kL, kC set the weight given to differences in lightness and chroma relative to differences in hue. The usual values are kL=2, kC=1 for “acceptability” and kL=1, kC=1 for “imperceptibility”. Colors with dE > 1 are “different” for the given scale factors.

Parameters
lab1array_like

reference color (Lab colorspace)

lab2array_like

comparison color (Lab colorspace)

channel_axisint, optional

This parameter indicates which axis of the arrays corresponds to channels.

Returns
dEarray_like

distance between colors lab1 and lab2

Notes

deltaE_cmc the defines the scales for the lightness, hue, and chroma in terms of the first color. Consequently deltaE_cmc(lab1, lab2) != deltaE_cmc(lab2, lab1)

cucim.skimage.color.xyz_tristimulus_values(*, illuminant, observer, dtype=None)#

Get the CIE XYZ tristimulus values.

Given an illuminant and observer, this function returns the CIE XYZ tristimulus values [2] scaled such that \(Y = 1\).

Parameters
illuminant{“A”, “B”, “C”, “D50”, “D55”, “D65”, “D75”, “E”}

The name of the illuminant (the function is NOT case sensitive).

observer{“2”, “10”, “R”}

One of: 2-degree observer, 10-degree observer, or ‘R’ observer as in R function grDevices::convertColor [3].

dtypenp.dtype, optional

This argument is ignored in the cuCIM implementation of xyz_tristimulus_values since an array is not returned. The output is always a 3-tuple of float.

Returns
values3-tuple of float

Three elements \(X, Y, Z\) containing the CIE XYZ tristimulus values of the given illuminant.

Raises
ValueError

If either the illuminant or the observer angle are not supported or unknown.

Notes

The return type of this function differs from the one in scikit-image as it always returns a 3-tuple of float rather than an array with a user-specified dtype.

The CIE XYZ tristimulus values are calculated from \(x, y\) [1], using the formula

\[X = x / y\]
\[Y = 1\]
\[Z = (1 - x - y) / y\]

The only exception is the illuminant “D65” with aperture angle 2° for backward-compatibility reasons.

cucim.skimage.exposure.equalize_adapthist(image, kernel_size=None, clip_limit=0.01, nbins=256)#

Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE).

An algorithm for local contrast enhancement, that uses histograms computed over different tile regions of the image. Local details can therefore be enhanced even in regions that are darker or lighter than most of the image.

Parameters
image(M[, …][, C]) ndarray

Input image.

kernel_sizeint or array_like, optional

Defines the shape of contextual regions used in the algorithm. If iterable is passed, it must have the same number of elements as image.ndim (without color channel). If integer, it is broadcasted to each image dimension. By default, kernel_size is 1/8 of image height by 1/8 of its width.

clip_limitfloat, optional

Clipping limit, normalized between 0 and 1 (higher values give more contrast).

nbinsint, optional

Number of gray bins for histogram (“data range”).

Returns
out(M[, …][, C]) ndarray

Equalized image with float64 dtype.

Notes

  • For color images, the following steps are performed:
    • The image is converted to HSV color space

    • The CLAHE algorithm is run on the V (Value) channel

    • The image is converted back to RGB space and returned

  • For RGBA images, the original alpha channel is removed.

Changed in version 0.17: The values returned by this function are slightly shifted upwards because of an internal change in rounding behavior.

cucim.skimage.exposure.histogram(image, nbins=256, source_range='image', normalize=False, *, channel_axis=None)#

Return histogram of image.

Unlike numpy.histogram, this function returns the centers of bins and does not rebin integer arrays. For integer arrays, each integer value has its own bin, which improves speed and intensity-resolution.

If channel_axis is not set, the histogram is computed on the flattened image. For color or multichannel images, set channel_axis to use a common binning for all channels. Alternatively, one may apply the function separately on each channel to obtain a histogram for each color channel with separate binning.

Parameters
imagearray

Input image.

nbinsint, optional

Number of bins used to calculate histogram. This value is ignored for integer arrays.

source_rangestring, optional

‘image’ (default) determines the range from the input image. ‘dtype’ determines the range from the expected range of the images of that data type.

normalizebool, optional

If True, normalize the histogram by the sum of its values.

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

Returns
histarray

The values of the histogram. When channel_axis is not None, hist will be a 2D array where the first axis corresponds to channels.

bin_centersarray

The values at the center of the bins.

Examples

>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from skimage import data
>>> from cucim.skimage import exposure, img_as_float
>>> image = img_as_float(cp.array(data.camera()))
>>> cp.histogram(image, bins=2)
(array([ 93585, 168559]), array([0. , 0.5, 1. ]))
>>> exposure.histogram(image, nbins=2)
(array([ 93585, 168559]), array([0.25, 0.75]))
cucim.skimage.exposure.is_low_contrast(image, fraction_threshold=0.05, lower_percentile=1, upper_percentile=99, method='linear')#

Determine if an image is low contrast.

Parameters
imagearray-like

The image under test.

fraction_thresholdfloat, optional

The low contrast fraction threshold. An image is considered low- contrast when its range of brightness spans less than this fraction of its data type’s full range. [1]

lower_percentilefloat, optional

Disregard values below this percentile when computing image contrast.

upper_percentilefloat, optional

Disregard values above this percentile when computing image contrast.

methodstr, optional

The contrast determination method. Right now the only available option is “linear”.

Returns
outbool

True when the image is determined to be low contrast.

Notes

For boolean images, this function returns False only if all values are the same (the method, threshold, and percentile arguments are ignored).

Parameters
imagendarray

Input image. Can be gray-scale or in color.

referencendarray

Image to match histogram of. Must have the same number of channels as image.

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

Returns

Transformed input image.

Raises
ValueError

Thrown when the number of channels in the input image and the reference differ.

cucim.skimage.exposure.rescale_intensity(image, in_range='image', out_range='dtype')#

Return image after stretching or shrinking its intensity levels.

The desired intensity range of the input and output, in_range and out_range respectively, are used to stretch or shrink the intensity range of the input image. See examples below.

Parameters
imagearray

Image array.

in_range, out_rangestr or 2-tuple, optional

Min and max intensity values of input and output image. The possible values for this parameter are enumerated below.

‘image’

Use image min/max as the intensity range.

‘dtype’

Use min/max of the image’s dtype as the intensity range.

dtype-name

Use intensity range based on desired dtype. Must be valid key in DTYPE_RANGE.

2-tuple

Use range_values as explicit min/max intensities.

Returns
outarray

Image array after rescaling its intensity. This image is the same dtype as the input image.

See also

equalize_hist

Notes

Changed in version 0.17: The dtype of the output array has changed to match the output dtype, or float if the output range is specified by a pair of values.

Examples

By default, the min/max intensities of the input image are stretched to the limits allowed by the image’s dtype, since in_range defaults to ‘image’ and out_range defaults to ‘dtype’:

>>> image = cp.array([51, 102, 153], dtype=np.uint8)
>>> rescale_intensity(image)
array([  0, 127, 255], dtype=uint8)

It’s easy to accidentally convert an image dtype from uint8 to float:

>>> 1.0 * image
array([ 51., 102., 153.])

Use rescale_intensity to rescale to the proper range for float dtypes:

>>> image_float = 1.0 * image
>>> rescale_intensity(image_float)
array([0. , 0.5, 1. ])

To maintain the low contrast of the original, use the in_range parameter:

>>> rescale_intensity(image_float, in_range=(0, 255))
array([0.2, 0.4, 0.6])

If the min/max value of in_range is more/less than the min/max image intensity, then the intensity levels are clipped:

>>> rescale_intensity(image_float, in_range=(0, 102))
array([0.5, 1. , 1. ])

If you have an image with signed integers but want to rescale the image to just the positive range, use the out_range parameter. In that case, the output dtype will be float:

>>> image = cp.asarray([-10, 0, 10], dtype=np.int8)
>>> rescale_intensity(image, out_range=(0, 127))
array([  0. ,  63.5, 127. ])

To get the desired range with a specific dtype, use .astype():

>>> rescale_intensity(image, out_range=(0, 127)).astype(np.int8)
array([  0,  63, 127], dtype=int8)

If the input image is constant, the output will be clipped directly to the output range: >>> image = cp.asarray([130, 130, 130], dtype=np.int32) >>> rescale_intensity(image, out_range=(0, 127)).astype(np.int32) array([127, 127, 127], dtype=int32)

feature#

cucim.skimage.feature.blob_dog(image, min_sigma=1, max_sigma=50, sigma_ratio=1.6, threshold=0.5, overlap=0.5, *, threshold_rel=None, exclude_border=False)#

Finds blobs in the given grayscale image. Blobs are found using the Difference of Gaussian (DoG) method [1], [2]. For each blob found, the method returns its coordinates and the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel that detected the blob. Parameters ———- image : ndarray

Input grayscale image, blobs are assumed to be light on dark background (white on black).

min_sigmascalar or sequence of scalars, optional

The minimum standard deviation for Gaussian kernel. Keep this low to detect smaller blobs. The standard deviations of the Gaussian filter are given for each axis as a sequence, or as a single number, in which case it is equal for all axes.

max_sigmascalar or sequence of scalars, optional

The maximum standard deviation for Gaussian kernel. Keep this high to detect larger blobs. The standard deviations of the Gaussian filter are given for each axis as a sequence, or as a single number, in which case it is equal for all axes.

sigma_ratiofloat, optional

The ratio between the standard deviation of Gaussian Kernels used for computing the Difference of Gaussians

thresholdfloat or None, optional

The absolute lower bound for scale space maxima. Local maxima smaller than threshold are ignored. Reduce this to detect blobs with lower intensities. If threshold_rel is also specified, whichever threshold is larger will be used. If None, threshold_rel is used instead.

overlapfloat, optional

A value between 0 and 1. If the area of two blobs overlaps by a fraction greater than threshold, the smaller blob is eliminated.

threshold_relfloat or None, optional

Minimum intensity of peaks, calculated as max(dog_space) * threshold_rel, where dog_space refers to the stack of Difference-of-Gaussian (DoG) images computed internally. This should have a value between 0 and 1. If None, threshold is used instead.

exclude_bordertuple of ints, int, or False, optional

If tuple of ints, the length of the tuple must match the input array’s dimensionality. Each element of the tuple will exclude peaks from within exclude_border-pixels of the border of the image along that dimension. If nonzero int, exclude_border excludes peaks from within exclude_border-pixels of the border of the image. If zero or False, peaks are identified regardless of their distance from the border.

Returns
A(n, image.ndim + sigma) ndarray

A 2d array with each row representing 2 coordinate values for a 2D image, or 3 coordinate values for a 3D image, plus the sigma(s) used. When a single sigma is passed, outputs are: (r, c, sigma) or (p, r, c, sigma) where (r, c) or (p, r, c) are coordinates of the blob and sigma is the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel which detected the blob. When an anisotropic gaussian is used (sigmas per dimension), the detected sigma is returned for each dimension.

Notes

The radius of each blob is approximately \(\sqrt{2}\sigma\) for a 2-D image and \(\sqrt{3}\sigma\) for a 3-D image.

cucim.skimage.feature.blob_doh(image, min_sigma=1, max_sigma=30, num_sigma=10, threshold=0.01, overlap=0.5, log_scale=False, *, threshold_rel=None)#

Finds blobs in the given grayscale image.

Blobs are found using the Determinant of Hessian method [1]. For each blob found, the method returns its coordinates and the standard deviation of the Gaussian Kernel used for the Hessian matrix whose determinant detected the blob. Determinant of Hessians is approximated using [2].

Parameters
image2D ndarray

Input grayscale image.Blobs can either be light on dark or vice versa.

min_sigmafloat, optional

The minimum standard deviation for Gaussian Kernel used to compute Hessian matrix. Keep this low to detect smaller blobs.

max_sigmafloat, optional

The maximum standard deviation for Gaussian Kernel used to compute Hessian matrix. Keep this high to detect larger blobs.

num_sigmaint, optional

The number of intermediate values of standard deviations to consider between min_sigma and max_sigma.

thresholdfloat or None, optional

The absolute lower bound for scale space maxima. Local maxima smaller than threshold are ignored. Reduce this to detect blobs with lower intensities. If threshold_rel is also specified, whichever threshold is larger will be used. If None, threshold_rel is used instead.

overlapfloat, optional

A value between 0 and 1. If the area of two blobs overlaps by a fraction greater than threshold, the smaller blob is eliminated.

log_scalebool, optional

If set intermediate values of standard deviations are interpolated using a logarithmic scale to the base 10. If not, linear interpolation is used.

threshold_relfloat or None, optional

Minimum intensity of peaks, calculated as max(doh_space) * threshold_rel, where doh_space refers to the stack of Determinant-of-Hessian (DoH) images computed internally. This should have a value between 0 and 1. If None, threshold is used instead.

Returns
A(n, 3) ndarray

A 2d array with each row representing 3 values, (y,x,sigma) where (y,x) are coordinates of the blob and sigma is the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel of the Hessian Matrix whose determinant detected the blob.

Notes

The radius of each blob is approximately sigma. Computation of Determinant of Hessians is independent of the standard deviation. Therefore detecting larger blobs won’t take more time. In methods line blob_dog() and blob_log() the computation of Gaussians for larger sigma takes more time. The downside is that this method can’t be used for detecting blobs of radius less than 3px due to the box filters used in the approximation of Hessian Determinant.

cucim.skimage.feature.canny(image, sigma=1.0, low_threshold=None, high_threshold=None, mask=None, use_quantiles=False, *, mode='constant', cval=0.0)#

Edge filter an image using the Canny algorithm.

Parameters
image2D array

Grayscale input image to detect edges on; can be of any dtype.

sigmafloat, optional

Standard deviation of the Gaussian filter.

low_thresholdfloat, optional

Lower bound for hysteresis thresholding (linking edges). If None, low_threshold is set to 10% of dtype’s max.

high_thresholdfloat, optional

Upper bound for hysteresis thresholding (linking edges). If None, high_threshold is set to 20% of dtype’s max.

maskarray, dtype=bool, optional

Mask to limit the application of Canny to a certain area.

use_quantilesbool, optional

If True then treat low_threshold and high_threshold as quantiles of the edge magnitude image, rather than absolute edge magnitude values. If True then the thresholds must be in the range [0, 1].

modestr, {‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled during Gaussian filtering, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’.

cvalfloat, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’.

Returns
output2D array (image)

The binary edge map.

Notes

The steps of the algorithm are as follows:

  • Smooth the image using a Gaussian with sigma width.

  • Apply the horizontal and vertical Sobel operators to get the gradients within the image. The edge strength is the norm of the gradient.

  • Thin potential edges to 1-pixel wide curves. First, find the normal to the edge at each point. This is done by looking at the signs and the relative magnitude of the X-Sobel and Y-Sobel to sort the points into 4 categories: horizontal, vertical, diagonal and antidiagonal. Then look in the normal and reverse directions to see if the values in either of those directions are greater than the point in question. Use interpolation to get a mix of points instead of picking the one that’s the closest to the normal.

  • Perform a hysteresis thresholding: first label all points above the high threshold as edges. Then recursively label any point above the low threshold that is 8-connected to a labeled point as an edge.

Find peaks in corner measure response image.

This differs from skimage.feature.peak_local_max in that it suppresses multiple connected peaks with the same accumulator value.

Parameters
image(M, N) ndarray

Input image.

min_distanceint, optional

The minimal allowed distance separating peaks.

**

See skimage.feature.peak_local_max().

p_normfloat

Which Minkowski p-norm to use. Should be in the range [1, inf]. A finite large p may cause a ValueError if overflow can occur. inf corresponds to the Chebyshev distance and 2 to the Euclidean distance.

Returns
outputndarray or ndarray of bools
  • If indices = True : (row, column, …) coordinates of peaks.

  • If indices = False : Boolean array shaped like image, with peaks represented by True values.

Notes

Changed in version 0.18: The default value of threshold_rel has changed to None, which corresponds to letting skimage.feature.peak_local_max decide on the default. This is equivalent to threshold_rel=0.

The num_peaks limit is applied before suppression of connected peaks. To limit the number of peaks after suppression, set num_peaks=np.inf and post-process the output of this function.

cucim.skimage.feature.daisy(image, step=4, radius=15, rings=3, histograms=8, orientations=8, normalization='l1', sigmas=None, ring_radii=None, visualize=False)#

Extract DAISY feature descriptors densely for the given image.

DAISY is a feature descriptor similar to SIFT formulated in a way that allows for fast dense extraction. Typically, this is practical for bag-of-features image representations.

The implementation follows Tola et al. [1] but deviate on the following points:

  • Histogram bin contribution are smoothed with a circular Gaussian window over the tonal range (the angular range).

  • The sigma values of the spatial Gaussian smoothing in this code do not match the sigma values in the original code by Tola et al. [2]. In their code, spatial smoothing is applied to both the input image and the center histogram. However, this smoothing is not documented in [1] and, therefore, it is omitted.

Parameters
image(M, N) array

Input image (grayscale).

stepint, optional

Distance between descriptor sampling points.

radiusint, optional

Radius (in pixels) of the outermost ring.

ringsint, optional

Number of rings.

histogramsint, optional

Number of histograms sampled per ring.

orientationsint, optional

Number of orientations (bins) per histogram.

normalization[ ‘l1’ | ‘l2’ | ‘daisy’ | ‘off’ ], optional

How to normalize the descriptors

  • ‘l1’: L1-normalization of each descriptor.

  • ‘l2’: L2-normalization of each descriptor.

  • ‘daisy’: L2-normalization of individual histograms.

  • ‘off’: Disable normalization.

sigmas1D array of float, optional

Standard deviation of spatial Gaussian smoothing for the center histogram and for each ring of histograms. The array of sigmas should be sorted from the center and out. I.e. the first sigma value defines the spatial smoothing of the center histogram and the last sigma value defines the spatial smoothing of the outermost ring. Specifying sigmas overrides the following parameter.

rings = len(sigmas) - 1

ring_radii1D array of int, optional

Radius (in pixels) for each ring. Specifying ring_radii overrides the following two parameters.

rings = len(ring_radii) radius = ring_radii[-1]

If both sigmas and ring_radii are given, they must satisfy the following predicate since no radius is needed for the center histogram.

len(ring_radii) == len(sigmas) + 1

visualizebool, optional

Generate a visualization of the DAISY descriptors

Returns
descsarray

Grid of DAISY descriptors for the given image as an array dimensionality (P, Q, R) where

P = ceil((M - radius*2) / step) Q = ceil((N - radius*2) / step) R = (rings * histograms + 1) * orientations

descs_img(M, N, 3) array (only if visualize==True)

Visualization of the DAISY descriptors.

cucim.skimage.feature.hessian_matrix(image, sigma=1, mode='constant', cval=0, order='rc', use_gaussian_derivatives=None)#

Compute the Hessian matrix.

In 2D, the Hessian matrix is defined as:

H = [Hrr Hrc]
    [Hrc Hcc]

which is computed by convolving the image with the second derivatives of the Gaussian kernel in the respective r- and c-directions.

The implementation here also supports n-dimensional data.

Parameters
imagendarray

Input image.

sigmafloat

Standard deviation used for the Gaussian kernel, which is used as weighting function for the auto-correlation matrix.

mode{‘constant’, ‘reflect’, ‘wrap’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’}, optional

How to handle values outside the image borders.

cvalfloat, optional

Used in conjunction with mode ‘constant’, the value outside the image boundaries.

order{‘rc’, ‘xy’}, optional

NOTE: ‘xy’ is only an option for 2D images, higher dimensions must always use ‘rc’ order. This parameter allows for the use of reverse or forward order of the image axes in gradient computation. ‘rc’ indicates the use of the first axis initially (Hrr, Hrc, Hcc), whilst ‘xy’ indicates the usage of the last axis initially (Hxx, Hxy, Hyy).

use_gaussian_derivativesboolean, optional

Indicates whether the Hessian is computed by convolving with Gaussian derivatives, or by a simple finite-difference operation.

Returns
H_elemslist of ndarray

Upper-diagonal elements of the hessian matrix for each pixel in the input image. In 2D, this will be a three element list containing [Hrr, Hrc, Hcc]. In nD, the list will contain (n**2 + n) / 2 arrays.

Notes

The distributive property of derivatives and convolutions allows us to restate the derivative of an image, I, smoothed with a Gaussian kernel, G, as the convolution of the image with the derivative of G.

\[\frac{\partial }{\partial x_i}(I * G) = I * \left( \frac{\partial }{\partial x_i} G \right)\]

When use_gaussian_derivatives is True, this property is used to compute the second order derivatives that make up the Hessian matrix.

When use_gaussian_derivatives is False, simple finite differences on a Gaussian-smoothed image are used instead.

Examples

>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cucim.skimage.feature import hessian_matrix
>>> square = cp.zeros((5, 5))
>>> square[2, 2] = 4
>>> Hrr, Hrc, Hcc = hessian_matrix(square, sigma=0.1, order='rc',
...                                use_gaussian_derivatives=False)
>>> Hrc
array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  0., -1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0., -1.,  0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])
cucim.skimage.feature.hessian_matrix_det(image, sigma=1, approximate=True)#

Compute the approximate Hessian Determinant over an image.

The 2D approximate method uses box filters over integral images to compute the approximate Hessian Determinant.

Parameters
imagendarray

The image over which to compute the Hessian Determinant.

sigmafloat, optional

Standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel used for the Hessian matrix.

approximatebool, optional

If True and the image is 2D, use a much faster approximate computation. This argument has no effect on 3D and higher images.

Returns
outarray

The array of the Determinant of Hessians.

Notes

For 2D images when approximate=True, the running time of this method only depends on size of the image. It is independent of sigma as one would expect. The downside is that the result for sigma less than 3 is not accurate, i.e., not similar to the result obtained if someone computed the Hessian and took its determinant.

cucim.skimage.feature.match_descriptors(descriptors1, descriptors2, metric=None, p=2, max_distance=inf, cross_check=True, max_ratio=1.0)#

Brute-force matching of descriptors.

For each descriptor in the first set this matcher finds the closest descriptor in the second set (and vice-versa in the case of enabled cross-checking).

Parameters
descriptors1(M, P) array

Descriptors of size P about M keypoints in the first image.

descriptors2(N, P) array

Descriptors of size P about N keypoints in the second image.

metric{‘euclidean’, ‘cityblock’, ‘minkowski’, ‘hamming’, …} , optional

The metric to compute the distance between two descriptors. See scipy.spatial.distance.cdist for all possible types. The hamming distance should be used for binary descriptors. By default the L2-norm is used for all descriptors of dtype float or double and the Hamming distance is used for binary descriptors automatically.

pint, optional

The p-norm to apply for metric='minkowski'.

max_distancefloat, optional

Maximum allowed distance between descriptors of two keypoints in separate images to be regarded as a match.

cross_checkbool, optional

If True, the matched keypoints are returned after cross checking i.e. a matched pair (keypoint1, keypoint2) is returned if keypoint2 is the best match for keypoint1 in second image and keypoint1 is the best match for keypoint2 in first image.

max_ratiofloat, optional

Maximum ratio of distances between first and second closest descriptor in the second set of descriptors. This threshold is useful to filter ambiguous matches between the two descriptor sets. The choice of this value depends on the statistics of the chosen descriptor, e.g., for SIFT descriptors a value of 0.8 is usually chosen, see D.G. Lowe, “Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints”, International Journal of Computer Vision, 2004.

Returns
matches(Q, 2) array

Indices of corresponding matches in first and second set of descriptors, where matches[:, 0] denote the indices in the first and matches[:, 1] the indices in the second set of descriptors.

cucim.skimage.feature.match_template(image, template, pad_input=False, mode='constant', constant_values=0)#

Match a template to a 2-D or 3-D image using normalized correlation.

The output is an array with values between -1.0 and 1.0. The value at a given position corresponds to the correlation coefficient between the image and the template.

For pad_input=True matches correspond to the center and otherwise to the top-left corner of the template. To find the best match you must search for peaks in the response (output) image.

Parameters
image(M, N[, D]) array

2-D or 3-D input image.

template(m, n[, d]) array

Template to locate. It must be (m <= M, n <= N[, d <= D]).

pad_inputbool

If True, pad image so that output is the same size as the image, and output values correspond to the template center. Otherwise, the output is an array with shape (M - m + 1, N - n + 1) for an (M, N) image and an (m, n) template, and matches correspond to origin (top-left corner) of the template.

modesee numpy.pad, optional

Padding mode.

constant_valuessee numpy.pad, optional

Constant values used in conjunction with mode='constant'.

Returns
outputarray

Response image with correlation coefficients.

Notes

Details on the cross-correlation are presented in [1]. This implementation uses FFT convolutions of the image and the template. Reference [2] presents similar derivations but the approximation presented in this reference is not used in our implementation.

This CuPy implementation does not force the image to float64 internally, but will use float32 for single-precision inputs.

cucim.skimage.feature.multiscale_basic_features(image, intensity=True, edges=True, texture=True, sigma_min=0.5, sigma_max=16, num_sigma=None, num_workers=None, *, channel_axis=None)#

Local features for a single- or multi-channel nd image.

Intensity, gradient intensity and local structure are computed at different scales thanks to Gaussian blurring.

Parameters
imagendarray

Input image, which can be grayscale or multichannel.

intensitybool, default True

If True, pixel intensities averaged over the different scales are added to the feature set.

edgesbool, default True

If True, intensities of local gradients averaged over the different scales are added to the feature set.

texturebool, default True

If True, eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix after Gaussian blurring at different scales are added to the feature set.

sigma_minfloat, optional

Smallest value of the Gaussian kernel used to average local neighborhoods before extracting features.

sigma_maxfloat, optional

Largest value of the Gaussian kernel used to average local neighborhoods before extracting features.

num_sigmaint, optional

Number of values of the Gaussian kernel between sigma_min and sigma_max. If None, sigma_min multiplied by powers of 2 are used.

num_workersint or None, optional

The number of parallel threads to use. If set to None, the full set of available cores are used.

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

Returns
featuresnp.ndarray

Array of shape image.shape + (n_features,). When channel_axis is not None, all channels are concatenated along the features dimension. (i.e. n_features == n_features_singlechannel * n_channels)

cucim.skimage.feature.peak_local_max(image, min_distance=1, threshold_abs=None, threshold_rel=None, exclude_border=True, num_peaks=inf, footprint=None, labels=None, num_peaks_per_label=inf, p_norm=inf)#

Find peaks in an image as coordinate list.

Peaks are the local maxima in a region of 2 * min_distance + 1 (i.e. peaks are separated by at least min_distance).

If both threshold_abs and threshold_rel are provided, the maximum of the two is chosen as the minimum intensity threshold of peaks.

Changed in version 0.18: Prior to version 0.18, peaks of the same height within a radius of min_distance were all returned, but this could cause unexpected behaviour. From 0.18 onwards, an arbitrary peak within the region is returned. See issue gh-2592.

Parameters
imagendarray

Input image.

min_distanceint, optional

The minimal allowed distance separating peaks. To find the maximum number of peaks, use min_distance=1.

threshold_absfloat or None, optional

Minimum intensity of peaks. By default, the absolute threshold is the minimum intensity of the image.

threshold_relfloat or None, optional

Minimum intensity of peaks, calculated as max(image) * threshold_rel.

exclude_borderint, tuple of ints, or bool, optional

If positive integer, exclude_border excludes peaks from within exclude_border-pixels of the border of the image. If tuple of non-negative ints, the length of the tuple must match the input array’s dimensionality. Each element of the tuple will exclude peaks from within exclude_border-pixels of the border of the image along that dimension. If True, takes the min_distance parameter as value. If zero or False, peaks are identified regardless of their distance from the border.

num_peaksint, optional

Maximum number of peaks. When the number of peaks exceeds num_peaks, return num_peaks peaks based on highest peak intensity.

footprintndarray of bools, optional

If provided, footprint == 1 represents the local region within which to search for peaks at every point in image.

labelsndarray of ints, optional

If provided, each unique region labels == value represents a unique region to search for peaks. Zero is reserved for background.

num_peaks_per_labelint, optional

Maximum number of peaks for each label.

p_normfloat

Which Minkowski p-norm to use. Should be in the range [1, inf]. A finite large p may cause a ValueError if overflow can occur. inf corresponds to the Chebyshev distance and 2 to the Euclidean distance.

Returns
outputndarray

The coordinates of the peaks.

Notes

The peak local maximum function returns the coordinates of local peaks (maxima) in an image. Internally, a maximum filter is used for finding local maxima. This operation dilates the original image. After comparison of the dilated and original images, this function returns the coordinates

cucim.skimage.feature.structure_tensor(image, sigma=1, mode='constant', cval=0, order='rc')#

Compute structure tensor using sum of squared differences.

The (2-dimensional) structure tensor A is defined as:

A = [Arr Arc]
    [Arc Acc]

which is approximated by the weighted sum of squared differences in a local window around each pixel in the image. This formula can be extended to a larger number of dimensions (see [1]).

Parameters
imagendarray

Input image.

sigmafloat or array-like of float, optional

Standard deviation used for the Gaussian kernel, which is used as a weighting function for the local summation of squared differences. If sigma is an iterable, its length must be equal to image.ndim and each element is used for the Gaussian kernel applied along its respective axis.

mode{‘constant’, ‘reflect’, ‘wrap’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’}, optional

How to handle values outside the image borders.

cvalfloat, optional

Used in conjunction with mode ‘constant’, the value outside the image boundaries.

order{‘rc’, ‘xy’}, optional

NOTE: ‘xy’ is only an option for 2D images, higher dimensions must always use ‘rc’ order. This parameter allows for the use of reverse or forward order of the image axes in gradient computation. ‘rc’ indicates the use of the first axis initially (Arr, Arc, Acc), whilst ‘xy’ indicates the usage of the last axis initially (Axx, Axy, Ayy).

Returns
A_elemslist of ndarray

cucim.skimage.filters.butterworth(image, cutoff_frequency_ratio=0.005, high_pass=True, order=2.0, channel_axis=None, *, squared_butterworth=True, npad=0)#

Apply a Butterworth filter to enhance high or low frequency features.

This filter is defined in the Fourier domain.

Parameters
image(M[, N[, …, P]][, C]) ndarray

Input image.

cutoff_frequency_ratiofloat, optional

Determines the position of the cut-off relative to the shape of the FFT. Receives a value between [0, 0.5].

high_passbool, optional

Whether to perform a high pass filter. If False, a low pass filter is performed.

orderfloat, optional

Order of the filter which affects the slope near the cut-off. Higher order means steeper slope in frequency space.

channel_axisint, optional

If there is a channel dimension, provide the index here. If None (default) then all axes are assumed to be spatial dimensions.

squared_butterworthbool, optional

When True, the square of a Butterworth filter is used. See notes below for more details.

npadint, optional

Pad each edge of the image by npad pixels using numpy.pad’s mode='edge' extension.

Returns
resultndarray

The Butterworth-filtered image.

Notes

A band-pass filter can be achieved by combining a high-pass and low-pass filter. The user can increase npad if boundary artifacts are apparent.

The “Butterworth filter” used in image processing textbooks (e.g. [1], [2]) is often the square of the traditional Butterworth filters as described by [3], [4]. The squared version will be used here if squared_butterworth is set to True. The lowpass, squared Butterworth filter is given by the following expression for the lowpass case:

\[H_{low}(f) = \frac{1}{1 + \left(\frac{f}{c f_s}\right)^{2n}}\]

with the highpass case given by

\[H_{hi}(f) = 1 - H_{low}(f)\]

where \(f=\sqrt{\sum_{d=0}^{\mathrm{ndim}} f_{d}^{2}}\) is the absolute value of the spatial frequency, \(f_s\) is the sampling frequency, \(c\) the cutoff_frequency_ratio, and \(n\) is the filter order [1]. When squared_butterworth=False, the square root of the above expressions are used instead.

Note that cutoff_frequency_ratio is defined in terms of the sampling frequency, \(f_s\). The FFT spectrum covers the Nyquist range (\([-f_s/2, f_s/2]\)) so cutoff_frequency_ratio should have a value between 0 and 0.5. The frequency response (gain) at the cutoff is 0.5 when squared_butterworth is true and \(1/\sqrt{2}\) when it is false.

Examples

Apply a high pass and low-pass Butterworth filter to a grayscale and color image respectively:

>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from skimage.data import camera, astronaut
>>> from cucim.skimage.filters import butterworth
>>> cam = cp.asarray(camera())

cucim.skimage.filters.correlate_sparse(image, kernel, mode='reflect')#

Compute valid cross-correlation of padded_array and kernel.

This function is fast when kernel is large with many zeros.

See scipy.ndimage.correlate for a description of cross-correlation.

Parameters
imagendarray, dtype float, shape (M, N[, …], P)

The input array. If mode is ‘valid’, this array should already be padded, as a margin of the same shape as kernel will be stripped off.

kernelndarray, dtype float shape (Q, R[, …], S)

The kernel to be correlated. Must have the same number of dimensions as padded_array. For high performance, it should be sparse (few nonzero entries).

modestring, optional

See scipy.ndimage.correlate for valid modes. Additionally, mode ‘valid’ is accepted, in which case no padding is applied and the result is the result for the smaller image for which the kernel is entirely inside the original data.

Returns
resultarray of float, shape (M, N[, …], P)

The result of cross-correlating image with kernel. If mode ‘valid’ is used, the resulting shape is (M-Q+1, N-R+1[, …], P-S+1).

cucim.skimage.filters.difference_of_gaussians(image, low_sigma, high_sigma=None, *, mode='nearest', cval=0, channel_axis=None, truncate=4.0)#

Find features between low_sigma and high_sigma in size.

This function uses the Difference of Gaussians method for applying band-pass filters to multi-dimensional arrays. The input array is blurred with two Gaussian kernels of differing sigmas to produce two intermediate, filtered images. The more-blurred image is then subtracted from the less-blurred image. The final output image will therefore have had high-frequency components attenuated by the smaller-sigma Gaussian, and low frequency components will have been removed due to their presence in the more-blurred intermediate.

Parameters
imagendarray

Input array to filter.

low_sigmascalar or sequence of scalars

Standard deviation(s) for the Gaussian kernel with the smaller sigmas across all axes. The standard deviations are given for each axis as a sequence, or as a single number, in which case the single number is used as the standard deviation value for all axes.

high_sigmascalar or sequence of scalars, optional (default is None)

Standard deviation(s) for the Gaussian kernel with the larger sigmas across all axes. The standard deviations are given for each axis as a sequence, or as a single number, in which case the single number is used as the standard deviation value for all axes. If None is given (default), sigmas for all axes are calculated as 1.6 * low_sigma.

mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘nearest’.

cvalscalar, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

truncatefloat, optional (default is 4.0)

Truncate the filter at this many standard deviations.

Returns
filtered_imagendarray

the filtered array.

skimage.feature.blog_dog

Notes

This function will subtract an array filtered with a Gaussian kernel with sigmas given by high_sigma from an array filtered with a Gaussian kernel with sigmas provided by low_sigma. The values for high_sigma must always be greater than or equal to the corresponding values in low_sigma, or a ValueError will be raised.

When high_sigma is none, the values for high_sigma will be calculated as 1.6x the corresponding values in low_sigma. This ratio was originally proposed by Marr and Hildreth (1980) [1] and is commonly used when approximating the inverted Laplacian of Gaussian, which is used in edge and blob detection.

Input image is converted according to the conventions of img_as_float.

Except for sigma values, all parameters are used for both filters.

Clip the output image to this mask. (Values where mask=0 will be set to 0.)

axisint or sequence of int, optional

Compute the edge filter along this axis. If not provided, the edge magnitude is computed. This is defined as:

farid_mag = cp.sqrt(sum([farid(image, axis=i)**2
                         for i in range(image.ndim)]) / image.ndim)

The magnitude is also computed if axis is a sequence.

modestr or sequence of str, optional

The boundary mode for the convolution. See scipy.ndimage.convolve for a description of the modes. This can be either a single boundary mode or one boundary mode per axis.

cvalfloat, optional

filter_paramsdict, optional

Additional keyword parameters to the impulse_response function.

Other Parameters
predefined_filterLPIFilter2D

If you need to apply the same filter multiple times over different images, construct the LPIFilter2D and specify it here.

Examples

Gaussian filter without normalization:

>>>
>>> from skimage import data

filter_paramsdict, optional

Additional keyword parameters to the impulse_response function.

Return real and imaginary responses to Gabor filter.

The real and imaginary parts of the Gabor filter kernel are applied to the image and the response is returned as a pair of arrays.

Gabor filter is a linear filter with a Gaussian kernel which is modulated by a sinusoidal plane wave. Frequency and orientation representations of the Gabor filter are similar to those of the human visual system. Gabor filter banks are commonly used in computer vision and image processing. They are especially suitable for edge detection and texture classification.

Input image.

frequencyfloat

Spatial frequency of the harmonic function. Specified in pixels.

thetafloat, optional

Orientation in radians. If 0, the harmonic is in the x-direction.

bandwidthfloat, optional

sigma_x, sigma_yfloat, optional

Standard deviation in x- and y-directions. These directions apply to the kernel before rotation. If theta = pi/2, then the kernel is rotated 90 degrees so that sigma_x controls the vertical direction.

offsetfloat, optional

Phase offset of harmonic function in radians.

Multi-dimensional Gaussian filter.

Parameters
imagendarray

Input image (grayscale or color) to filter.

sigmascalar or sequence of scalars, optional

Standard deviation for Gaussian kernel. The standard deviations of the Gaussian filter are given for each axis as a sequence, or as a single number, in which case it is equal for all axes.

mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘nearest’.

cvalscalar, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0

preserve_rangebool, optional

Whether to keep the original range of values. Otherwise, the input image is converted according to the conventions of img_as_float. Also see https://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/user_guide/data_types.html

truncatefloat, optional

Truncate the filter at this many standard deviations.

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

New in version 24.02: channel_axis was added in 24.02`

outndarray, optional

If given, the filtered image will be stored in this array. It must have a floating point data type.

New in version 24.06: out was added in 24.06`

Returns
filtered_imagendarray

the filtered array

Other Parameters
outputDEPRECATED

Deprecated in favor of out.

Deprecated since version 24.06.

Notes

This function is a wrapper around scipy.ndi.gaussian_filter().

Integer arrays are converted to float.

out should be of floating point data type since gaussian converts the input image to float. If out is not provided, another array will be allocated and returned as the result.

The multi-dimensional filter is implemented as a sequence of one-dimensional convolution filters. The intermediate arrays are stored in the same data type as the output. Therefore, for output types with a limited precision, the results may be imprecise because intermediate results may be stored with insufficient precision.

cucim.skimage.filters.laplace(image, ksize=3, mask=None)#

Find the edges of an image using the Laplace operator.

Parameters
imagendarray

Image to process.

ksizeint, optional

Define the size of the discrete Laplacian operator such that it will have a size of (ksize,) * image.ndim.

maskndarray, optional

An optional mask to limit the application to a certain area. Note that pixels surrounding masked regions are also masked to prevent masked regions from affecting the result.

Returns
outputndarray

The Laplace edge map.

Notes

The Laplacian operator is generated using the function skimage.restoration.uft.laplacian().

cucim.skimage.filters.median(image, footprint=None, out=None, mode='nearest', cval=0.0, behavior='ndimage', *, algorithm='auto', algorithm_kwargs={})#

Return local median of an image.

Parameters
imagearray-like

Input image.

footprintndarray, tuple of int, or None

If None, footprint will be a N-D array with 3 elements for each dimension (e.g., vector, square, cube, etc.). If footprint is a tuple of integers, it will be an array of ones with the given shape. Otherwise, if behavior=='rank', footprint is a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If behavior=='ndimage', footprint is a N-D array of 1’s and 0’s with the same number of dimension as image. Note that upstream scikit-image currently does not support supplying a tuple for footprint. It is added here to avoid overhead of generating a small weights array in cases where it is not needed.

outndarray, (same dtype as image), optional

If None, a new array is allocated.

mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’,’‘wrap’}, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘nearest’.

New in version 0.15: mode is used when behavior='ndimage'.

cvalscalar, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0

New in version 0.15: cval was added in 0.15 is used when behavior='ndimage'.

behavior{‘ndimage’, ‘rank’}, optional

Either to use the old behavior (i.e., < 0.15) or the new behavior. The old behavior will call the skimage.filters.rank.median(). The new behavior will call the scipy.ndimage.median_filter(). Default is ‘ndimage’.

New in version 0.15: behavior is introduced in 0.15

Changed in version 0.16: Default behavior has been changed from ‘rank’ to ‘ndimage’

Returns
out2-D array (same dtype as input image)

Output image.

Other Parameters
algorithm{‘auto’, ‘histogram’, ‘sorting’}

Determines which algorithm is used to compute the median. The default of ‘auto’ will attempt to use a histogram-based algorithm for 2D images with 8 or 16-bit integer data types. Otherwise a sorting-based algorithm will be used. Note: this parameter is cuCIM-specific and does not exist in upstream scikit-image.

algorithm_kwargsdict

Any additional algorithm-specific keywords. Currently can only be used to set the number of parallel partitions for the ‘histogram’ algorithm. (e.g. algorithm_kwargs={'partitions': 256}). Note: this parameter is cuCIM-specific and does not exist in upstream scikit-image.

See also

skimage.filters.rank.median

Rank-based implementation of the median filtering offering more flexibility with additional parameters but dedicated for unsigned integer images.

Notes

An efficient, histogram-based median filter as described in [1] is faster than the sorting based approach for larger kernel sizes (e.g. greater than 13x13 or so in 2D). It has near-constant run time regardless of the kernel size. The algorithm presented in [1] has been adapted to additional bit depths here. When algorithm=’auto’, the histogram-based algorithm will be chosen for integer-valued images with sufficiently large footprint size. Otherwise, the sorting-based approach is used.

Clip the output image to this mask. (Values where mask=0 will be set to 0.)

axisint or sequence of int, optional

Compute the edge filter along this axis. If not provided, the edge magnitude is computed. This is defined as:

prw_mag = np.sqrt(sum([prewitt(image, axis=i)**2
                       for i in range(image.ndim)]) / image.ndim)

The magnitude is also computed if axis is a sequence.

Notes

The edge magnitude depends slightly on edge directions, since the approximation of the gradient operator by the Prewitt operator is not completely rotation invariant. For a better rotation invariance, the Scharr operator should be used. The Sobel operator has a better rotation invariance than the Prewitt operator, but a worse rotation invariance than the Scharr operator.

cucim.skimage.filters.threshold_isodata(image=None, nbins=256, return_all=False, *, hist=None)#

Return threshold value(s) based on ISODATA method.

Histogram-based threshold, known as Ridler-Calvard method or inter-means. Threshold values returned satisfy the following equality:

threshold = (image[image <= threshold].mean() +
             image[image > threshold].mean()) / 2.0

That is, returned thresholds are intensities that separate the image into two groups of pixels, where the threshold intensity is midway between the mean intensities of these groups.

For integer images, the above equality holds to within one; for floating- point images, the equality holds to within the histogram bin-width.

Either image or hist must be provided. In case hist is given, the actual histogram of the image is ignored.

Parameters
image(M, N[, …]) ndarray

Grayscale input image.

nbinsint, optional

Number of bins used to calculate histogram. This value is ignored for integer arrays.

return_allbool, optional

If False (default), return only the lowest threshold that satisfies the above equality. If True, return all valid thresholds.

histarray, or 2-tuple of arrays, optional

Histogram to determine the threshold from and a corresponding array of bin center intensities. Alternatively, only the histogram can be passed.

Returns
thresholdfloat or int or array

Threshold value(s).

>>> image = cp.array(coins())
>>> thresh = threshold_isodata(image)
>>> binary = image > thresh
cucim.skimage.filters.threshold_li(image, *, tolerance=None, initial_guess=None, iter_callback=None)#

Compute threshold value by Li’s iterative Minimum Cross Entropy method.

Parameters
image(M, N[, …]) ndarray

Grayscale input image.

tolerancefloat, optional

Finish the computation when the change in the threshold in an iteration is less than this value. By default, this is half the smallest difference between intensity values in image.

initial_guessfloat or Callable[[array[float]], float], optional

Li’s iterative method uses gradient descent to find the optimal threshold. If the image intensity histogram contains more than two modes (peaks), the gradient descent could get stuck in a local optimum. An initial guess for the iteration can help the algorithm find the globally-optimal threshold. A float value defines a specific start point, while a callable should take in an array of image intensities and return a float value. Example valid callables include numpy.mean (default), lambda arr: numpy.quantile(arr, 0.95), or even skimage.filters.threshold_otsu().

iter_callbackCallable[[float], Any], optional

A function that will be called on the threshold at every iteration of the algorithm.

Returns
thresholdfloat

Upper threshold value. All pixels with an intensity higher than this value are assumed to be foreground.

cucim.skimage.filters.threshold_local(image, block_size=3, method='gaussian', offset=0, mode='reflect', param=None, cval=0)#

Compute a threshold mask image based on local pixel neighborhood.

Also known as adaptive or dynamic thresholding. The threshold value is the weighted mean for the local neighborhood of a pixel subtracted by a constant. Alternatively the threshold can be determined dynamically by a given function, using the ‘generic’ method.

Parameters
image(M, N[, …]) ndarray

Grayscale input image.

block_sizeint or sequence of int

Odd size of pixel neighborhood which is used to calculate the threshold value (e.g. 3, 5, 7, …, 21, …).

method{‘generic’, ‘gaussian’, ‘mean’, ‘median’}, optional

Method used to determine adaptive threshold for local neighborhood in weighted mean image.

  • ‘generic’: use custom function (see param parameter)

  • ‘gaussian’: apply gaussian filter (see param parameter for custom sigma value)

  • ‘mean’: apply arithmetic mean filter

  • ‘median’: apply median rank filter

By default, the ‘gaussian’ method is used.

offsetfloat, optional

Constant subtracted from weighted mean of neighborhood to calculate the local threshold value. Default offset is 0.

mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘reflect’.

param{int, function}, optional

Either specify sigma for ‘gaussian’ method or function object for ‘generic’ method. This functions takes the flat array of local neighborhood as a single argument and returns the calculated threshold for the centre pixel.

cvalfloat, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’.

Returns
threshold(M, N[, …]) ndarray

Threshold image. All pixels in the input image higher than the corresponding pixel in the threshold image are considered foreground.

Grayscale input image.

nbinsint, optional

Number of bins used to calculate histogram. This value is ignored for integer arrays.

max_num_iterint, optional

Maximum number of iterations to smooth the histogram.

histarray, or 2-tuple of arrays, optional

Histogram to determine the threshold from and a corresponding array of bin center intensities. Alternatively, only the histogram can be passed.

cucim.skimage.filters.threshold_multiotsu(image=None, classes=3, nbins=256, *, hist=None)#

Generate classes-1 threshold values to divide gray levels in image, following Otsu’s method for multiple classes.

The threshold values are chosen to maximize the total sum of pairwise variances between the thresholded graylevel classes. See Notes and [1] for more details.

Either image or hist must be provided. If hist is provided, the actual histogram of the image is ignored.

Parameters
image(M, N[, …]) ndarray, optional

Grayscale input image.

classesint, optional

Number of classes to be thresholded, i.e. the number of resulting regions.

nbinsint, optional

Number of bins used to calculate the histogram. This value is ignored for integer arrays.

histarray, or 2-tuple of arrays, optional

Histogram from which to determine the threshold, and optionally a corresponding array of bin center intensities. If no hist provided, this function will compute it from the image (see notes).

Returns
thresharray

Array containing the threshold values for the desired classes.

Raises
ValueError

If image contains less grayscale value then the desired number of classes.

Notes

This implementation relies on a Cython function whose complexity is \(O\left(\frac{Ch^{C-1}}{(C-1)!}\right)\), where \(h\) is the number of histogram bins and \(C\) is the number of classes desired.

If no hist is given, this function will make use of skimage.exposure.histogram, which behaves differently than np.histogram. While both allowed, use the former for consistent behaviour.

The input image must be grayscale.

cucim.skimage.filters.threshold_niblack(image, window_size=15, k=0.2)#

Applies Niblack local threshold to an array.

A threshold T is calculated for every pixel in the image using the following formula:

T = m(x,y) - k * s(x,y)

where m(x,y) and s(x,y) are the mean and standard deviation of pixel (x,y) neighborhood defined by a rectangular window with size w times w centered around the pixel. k is a configurable parameter that weights the effect of standard deviation.

Parameters
image(M, N[, …]) ndarray

Grayscale input image.

window_sizeint, or iterable of int, optional

Window size specified as a single odd integer (3, 5, 7, …), or an iterable of length image.ndim containing only odd integers (e.g. (1, 5, 5)).

kfloat, optional

Value of parameter k in threshold formula.

Returns
threshold(M, N) ndarray

Threshold mask. All pixels with an intensity higher than this value are assumed to be foreground.

Notes

This algorithm is originally designed for text recognition.

The Bradley threshold is a particular case of the Niblack one, being equivalent to

>>> from skimage import data
>>> image = cp.array(data.page())
>>> q = 1
>>> threshold_image = threshold_niblack(image, k=0) * q

for some value q. By default, Bradley and Roth use q=1.

where m(x,y) and s(x,y) are the mean and standard deviation of pixel (x,y) neighborhood defined by a rectangular window with size w times w centered around the pixel. k is a configurable parameter that weights the effect of standard deviation. R is the maximum standard deviation of a grayscale image.

Parameters
image(M, N[, …]) ndarray

Grayscale input image.

window_sizeint, or iterable of int, optional

Window size specified as a single odd integer (3, 5, 7, …), or an iterable of length image.ndim containing only odd integers (e.g. (1, 5, 5)).

cucim.skimage.filters.unsharp_mask(image, radius=1.0, amount=1.0, preserve_range=False, *, channel_axis=None)#

Unsharp masking filter.

The sharp details are identified as the difference between the original image and its blurred version. These details are then scaled, and added back to the original image.

Parameters
image(M[, …][, C]) ndarray

Input image.

radiusscalar or sequence of scalars, optional

If a scalar is given, then its value is used for all dimensions. If sequence is given, then there must be exactly one radius for each dimension except the last dimension for multichannel images. Note that 0 radius means no blurring, and negative values are not allowed.

amountscalar, optional

The details will be amplified with this factor. The factor could be 0 or negative. Typically, it is a small positive number, e.g. 1.0.

preserve_rangebool, optional

Whether to keep the original range of values. Otherwise, the input image is converted according to the conventions of img_as_float. Also see https://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/user_guide/data_types.html

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

Returns
output(M[, …][, C]) ndarray of float

Image with unsharp mask applied.

Notes

Unsharp masking is an image sharpening technique. It is a linear image operation, and numerically stable, unlike deconvolution which is an ill-posed problem. Because of this stability, it is often preferred over deconvolution.

The main idea is as follows: sharp details are identified as the difference between the original image and its blurred version. These details are added back to the original image after a scaling step:

enhanced image = original + amount * (original - blurred)

When applying this filter to several color layers independently, color bleeding may occur. More visually pleasing result can be achieved by processing only the brightness/lightness/intensity channel in a suitable color space such as HSV, HSL, YUV, or YCbCr.

Unsharp masking is described in most introductory digital image processing books. This implementation is based on [1].

cucim.skimage.filters.wiener(data, impulse_response=None, filter_params=None, K=0.25, predefined_filter=None)#

Minimum Mean Square Error (Wiener) inverse filter.

Parameters
data(M, N) ndarray

Input data.

Kfloat or (M, N) ndarray

Ratio between power spectrum of noise and undegraded image.

impulse_responsecallable f(r, c, **filter_params)

Impulse response of the filter. See LPIFilter2D.__init__.

filter_paramsdict, optional

Additional keyword parameters to the impulse_response function.

Other Parameters
predefined_filterLPIFilter2D

If you need to apply the same filter multiple times over different images, construct the LPIFilter2D and specify it here.

cucim.skimage.filters.window(window_type, shape, warp_kwargs=None)#

Return an n-dimensional window of a given size and dimensionality.

Parameters
window_typestring, float, or tuple

The type of window to be created. Any window type supported by scipy.signal.get_window is allowed here. See notes below for a current list, or the SciPy documentation for the version of SciPy on your machine.

shapetuple of int or int

The shape of the window along each axis. If an integer is provided, a 1D window is generated.

warp_kwargsdict

Keyword arguments passed to skimage.transform.warp (e.g., warp_kwargs={'order':3} to change interpolation method).

Returns
nd_windowndarray

A window of the specified shape. dtype is np.float64.

Notes

This function is based on scipy.signal.get_window and thus can access all of the window types available to that function (e.g., "hann", "boxcar"). Note that certain window types require parameters that have to be supplied with the window name as a tuple (e.g., ("tukey", 0.8)). If only a float is supplied, it is interpreted as the beta parameter of the Kaiser window.

See https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.signal.windows.get_window.html for more details.

Note that this function generates a double precision array of the specified shape and can thus generate very large arrays that consume a large amount of available memory.

The approach taken here to create nD windows is to first calculate the Euclidean distance from the center of the intended nD window to each position in the array. That distance is used to sample, with interpolation, from a 1D window returned from scipy.signal.get_window. The method of interpolation can be changed with the order keyword argument passed to skimage.transform.warp.

Some coordinates in the output window will be outside of the original signal; these will be filled in with zeros.

Window types: - boxcar - triang - blackman - hamming - hann - bartlett - flattop - parzen - bohman - blackmanharris - nuttall - barthann - kaiser (needs beta) - gaussian (needs standard deviation) - general_gaussian (needs power, width) - slepian (needs width) - dpss (needs normalized half-bandwidth) - chebwin (needs attenuation) - exponential (needs decay scale) - tukey (needs taper fraction)

cucim.skimage.measure.blur_effect(image, h_size=11, channel_axis=None, reduce_func=<built-in function max>)#

Compute a metric that indicates the strength of blur in an image (0 for no blur, 1 for maximal blur).

Parameters
imagendarray

RGB or grayscale nD image. The input image is converted to grayscale before computing the blur metric.

h_sizeint, optional

Size of the re-blurring filter.

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be grayscale (single-channel). Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to color channels.

reduce_funccallable, optional

Function used to calculate the aggregation of blur metrics along all axes. If set to None, the entire list is returned, where the i-th element is the blur metric along the i-th axis. This function should be a host function that operates on standard python floats.

Returns
blurfloat (0 to 1) or list of floats

Blur metric: by default, the maximum of blur metrics along all axes.

Notes

h_size must keep the same value in order to compare results between images. Most of the time, the default size (11) is enough. This means that the metric can clearly discriminate blur up to an average 11x11 filter; if blur is higher, the metric still gives good results but its values tend towards an asymptote.

cucim.skimage.measure.centroid(image, *, spacing=None)#

Return the (weighted) centroid of an image.

Parameters
imagearray

The input image.

spacing: tuple of float, shape (ndim,)

The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.

Returns
centertuple of float, length image.ndim

The centroid of the (nonzero) pixels in image.

Examples

>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cucim.skimage.measure import centroid
>>> image = cp.zeros((20, 20), dtype=cp.float64)
>>> image[13:17, 13:17] = 0.5

cucim.skimage.measure.euler_number(image, connectivity=None)#

Calculate the Euler characteristic in binary image.

For 2D objects, the Euler number is the number of objects minus the number of holes. For 3D objects, the Euler number is obtained as the number of objects plus the number of holes, minus the number of tunnels, or loops.

Parameters
image: (M, N[, P]) ndarray

Input image. If image is not binary, all values greater than zero are considered as the object.

connectivityint, optional

Maximum number of orthogonal hops to consider a pixel/voxel as a neighbor. Accepted values are ranging from 1 to input.ndim. If None, a full connectivity of input.ndim is used. 4 or 8 neighborhoods are defined for 2D images (connectivity 1 and 2, respectively). 6 or 26 neighborhoods are defined for 3D images, (connectivity 1 and 3, respectively). Connectivity 2 is not defined.

Returns
euler_numberint

Euler characteristic of the set of all objects in the image.

Notes

The Euler characteristic is an integer number that describes the topology of the set of all objects in the input image. If object is 4-connected, then background is 8-connected, and conversely.

The computation of the Euler characteristic is based on an integral geometry formula in discretized space. In practice, a neighborhood configuration is constructed, and a LUT is applied for each configuration. The coefficients used are the ones of Ohser et al.

It can be useful to compute the Euler characteristic for several connectivities. A large relative difference between results for different connectivities suggests that the image resolution (with respect to the size of objects and holes) is too low.

cucim.skimage.measure.inertia_tensor(image, mu=None, *, spacing=None)#

Compute the inertia tensor of the input image.

Parameters
imagearray

The input image.

muarray, optional

The pre-computed central moments of image. The inertia tensor computation requires the central moments of the image. If an application requires both the central moments and the inertia tensor (for example, skimage.measure.regionprops), then it is more efficient to pre-compute them and pass them to the inertia tensor call.

spacingtuple of float, shape (ndim,), optional

The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.

Returns
Tarray, shape (image.ndim, image.ndim)

The inertia tensor of the input image. \(T_{i, j}\) contains the covariance of image intensity along axes \(i\) and \(j\).

cucim.skimage.measure.inertia_tensor_eigvals(image, mu=None, T=None, *, spacing=None)#

Compute the eigenvalues of the inertia tensor of the image.

The inertia tensor measures covariance of the image intensity along the image axes. (See inertia_tensor.) The relative magnitude of the eigenvalues of the tensor is thus a measure of the elongation of a (bright) object in the image.

Parameters
imagearray

The input image.

muarray, optional

The pre-computed central moments of image.

Tarray, shape (image.ndim, image.ndim)

The pre-computed inertia tensor. If T is given, mu and image are ignored.

spacingtuple of float, shape (ndim,), optional

The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.

Returns
eigvalslist of float, length image.ndim

The eigenvalues of the inertia tensor of image, in descending order.

Notes

Computing the eigenvalues requires the inertia tensor of the input image. This is much faster if the central moments (mu) are provided, or, alternatively, one can provide the inertia tensor (T) directly.

cucim.skimage.measure.intersection_coeff(image0_mask, image1_mask, mask=None)#

Fraction of a channel’s segmented binary mask that overlaps with a second channel’s segmented binary mask.

Parameters
image0_mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool

Image mask of channel A.

image1_mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool

Image mask of channel B. Must have same dimensions as image0_mask.

mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional

Only image0_mask and image1_mask pixels within this region of interest mask are included in the calculation. Must have same dimensions as image0_mask.

Returns
Intersection coefficient, float

Fraction of image0_mask that overlaps with image1_mask.

cucim.skimage.measure.label(label_image, background=None, return_num=False, connectivity=None)#

Label connected regions of an integer array.

Two pixels are connected when they are neighbors and have the same value. In 2D, they can be neighbors either in a 1- or 2-connected sense. The value refers to the maximum number of orthogonal hops to consider a pixel/voxel a neighbor:

1-connectivity     2-connectivity     diagonal connection close-up

     [ ]           [ ]  [ ]  [ ]             [ ]
      |               \  |  /                 |  <- hop 2
[ ]--[x]--[ ]      [ ]--[x]--[ ]        [x]--[ ]
      |               /  |  \             hop 1
     [ ]           [ ]  [ ]  [ ]
Parameters
label_imagendarray of dtype int

Image to label.

backgroundint, optional

Consider all pixels with this value as background pixels, and label them as 0. By default, 0-valued pixels are considered as background pixels.

return_numbool, optional

Whether to return the number of assigned labels.

connectivityint, optional

Maximum number of orthogonal hops to consider a pixel/voxel as a neighbor. Accepted values are ranging from 1 to input.ndim. If None, a full connectivity of input.ndim is used.

Returns
labelsndarray of dtype int

Labeled array, where all connected regions are assigned the same integer value.

numint, optional

Number of labels, which equals the maximum label index and is only returned if return_num is True.

Notes

Currently the cucim implementation of this function always uses 32-bit integers for the label array. This is done for performance. In the future 64-bit integer support may also be added for better skimage compatibility.

cucim.skimage.measure.manders_coloc_coeff(image0, image1_mask, mask=None)#

Manders’ colocalization coefficient between two channels.

Parameters
image0(M, N) ndarray

Image of channel A. All pixel values should be non-negative.

image1_mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool

Binary mask with segmented regions of interest in channel B. Must have same dimensions as image0.

mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional

Only image0 pixel values within this region of interest mask are included in the calculation. Must have same dimensions as image0.

Returns
mccfloat

Manders’ colocalization coefficient.

Notes

Manders’ Colocalization Coefficient (MCC) is the fraction of total intensity of a certain channel (channel A) that is within the segmented region of a second channel (channel B) [1]. It ranges from 0 for no colocalisation to 1 for complete colocalization. It is also referred to as M1 and M2.

MCC is commonly used to measure the colocalization of a particular protein in a subceullar compartment. Typically a segmentation mask for channel B is generated by setting a threshold that the pixel values must be above to be included in the MCC calculation. In this implementation, the channel B mask is provided as the argument image1_mask, allowing the exact segmentation method to be decided by the user beforehand.

The implemented equation is:

\[r = \frac{\sum A_{i,coloc}}{\sum A_i}\]
where

\(A_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in image0 \(A_{i,coloc} = A_i\) if \(Bmask_i > 0\) \(Bmask_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in mask

MCC is sensitive to noise, with diffuse signal in the first channel inflating its value. Images should be processed to remove out of focus and background light before the MCC is calculated [2].

cucim.skimage.measure.manders_overlap_coeff(image0, image1, mask=None)#

Manders’ overlap coefficient

Parameters
image0(M, N) ndarray

Image of channel A. All pixel values should be non-negative.

image1(M, N) ndarray

Image of channel B. All pixel values should be non-negative. Must have same dimensions as image0

mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional

Only image0 and image1 pixel values within this region of interest mask are included in the calculation. Must have same dimensions as image0.

Returns
moc: float

Manders’ Overlap Coefficient of pixel intensities between the two images.

Notes

Manders’ Overlap Coefficient (MOC) is given by the equation [1]:

\[r = \frac{\sum A_i B_i}{\sqrt{\sum A_i^2 \sum B_i^2}}\]
where

\(A_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in image0 \(B_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in image1

It ranges between 0 for no colocalization and 1 for complete colocalization of all pixels.

MOC does not take into account pixel intensities, just the fraction of pixels that have positive values for both channels[Rb497c6126263-2]_ [3]. Its usefulness has been criticized as it changes in response to differences in both co-occurence and correlation and so a particular MOC value could indicate a wide range of colocalization patterns [4] [5].

>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cucim.skimage.measure import moments_coords_central
>>> coords = cp.array([[row, col]
...                    for row in range(13, 17)

       [20.,  0., 25.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])

As seen above, for symmetric objects, odd-order moments (columns 1 and 3, rows 1 and 3) are zero when centered on the centroid, or center of mass, of the object (the default). If we break the symmetry by adding a new point, this no longer holds:

>>> coords2 = cp.concatenate((coords, cp.array([[17, 17]])), axis=0)
>>> cp.around(moments_coords_central(coords2),
...           decimals=2)  
array([[17.  ,  0.  , 22.12, -2.49],
       [ 0.  ,  3.53,  1.73,  7.4 ],
       [25.88,  6.02, 36.63,  8.83],
       [ 4.15, 19.17, 14.8 , 39.6 ]])

Image moments and central image moments are equivalent (by definition) when the center is (0, 0):

>>> cp.allclose(moments_coords(coords),
...             moments_coords_central(coords, (0, 0)))
array(True)
cucim.skimage.measure.moments_hu(nu)#

Calculate Hu’s set of image moments (2D-only).

Note that this set of moments is proved to be translation, scale and rotation invariant.

Parameters
nu(M, M) array

Normalized central image moments, where M must be >= 4.

Returns
nu(7,) array

Hu’s set of image moments.

Notes

Due to the small array sizes, this function will be faster on the CPU. Consider transferring nu to the host and running skimage.measure.moments_hu if the moments are not needed on the device.

cucim.skimage.measure.pearson_corr_coeff(image0, image1, mask=None)#

Calculate Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient between pixel intensities in channels.

Parameters
image0(M, N) ndarray

Image of channel A.

image1(M, N) ndarray

Image of channel 2 to be correlated with channel B. Must have same dimensions as image0.

mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional

Only image0 and image1 pixels within this region of interest mask are included in the calculation. Must have same dimensions as image0.

Returns
pccfloat

Pearson’s correlation coefficient of the pixel intensities between the two images, within the mask if provided.

p-valuefloat

Two-tailed p-value.

Notes

Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (PCC) measures the linear correlation between the pixel intensities of the two images. Its value ranges from -1 for perfect linear anti-correlation to +1 for perfect linear correlation. The calculation of the p-value assumes that the intensities of pixels in each input image are normally distributed.

Scipy’s implementation of Pearson’s correlation coefficient is used. Please refer to it for further information and caveats [1].

\[r = \frac{\sum (A_i - m_A_i) (B_i - m_B_i)} {\sqrt{\sum (A_i - m_A_i)^2 \sum (B_i - m_B_i)^2}}\]
where

\(A_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in image0 \(B_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in image1, \(m_A_i\) is the mean of the pixel values in image0 \(m_B_i\) is the mean of the pixel values in image1

A low PCC value does not necessarily mean that there is no correlation between the two channel intensities, just that there is no linear correlation. You may wish to plot the pixel intensities of each of the two channels in a 2D scatterplot and use Spearman’s rank correlation if a non-linear correlation is visually identified [2]. Also consider if you are interested in correlation or co-occurence, in which case a method involving segmentation masks (e.g. MCC or intersection coefficient) may be more suitable [3] [4].

Providing the mask of only relevant sections of the image (e.g., cells, or particular cellular compartments) and removing noise is important as the PCC is sensitive to these measures [3] [4].

Parameters
image(M, N) ndarray

Returns
perimeterfloat

cucim.skimage.measure.perimeter_crofton(image, directions=4)#

Calculate total Crofton perimeter of all objects in binary image.

Parameters
image(M, N) ndarray

Input image. If image is not binary, all values greater than zero are considered as the object.

directions2 or 4, optional

Number of directions used to approximate the Crofton perimeter. By default, 4 is used: it should be more accurate than 2. Computation time is the same in both cases.

Returns
perimeterfloat

Total perimeter of all objects in binary image.

Notes

This measure is based on Crofton formula [1], which is a measure from integral geometry. It is defined for general curve length evaluation via a double integral along all directions. In a discrete space, 2 or 4 directions give a quite good approximation, 4 being more accurate than 2 for more complex shapes.

Similar to perimeter(), this function returns an approximation of the perimeter in continuous space.

Examples

>>> import cupy as cp
>>> x = cp.asarray([[1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]])
>>> img = cp.vstack([cp.zeros_like(x), x, x, x, cp.zeros_like(x)])
>>> img
array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
       [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
       [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
>>> profile_line(img, (2, 1), (2, 4))

>>> profile_line(img, (1, 0), (1, 6), cval=4)
array([1., 1., 1., 2., 2., 2., 2.])

The destination point is included in the profile, in contrast to standard numpy indexing. For example:

>>> profile_line(img, (1, 0), (1, 6))  # The final point is out of bounds
array([1., 1., 1., 2., 2., 2., 2.])
>>> profile_line(img, (1, 0), (1, 5))  # This accesses the full first row
array([1., 1., 1., 2., 2., 2.])

For different reduce_func inputs:

>>> profile_line(img, (1, 0), (1, 3), linewidth=3, reduce_func=cp.mean)
array([0.66666667, 0.66666667, 0.66666667, 1.33333333])
>>> profile_line(img, (1, 0), (1, 3), linewidth=3, reduce_func=cp.max)

array([2, 2, 2, 4])

The unreduced array will be returned when reduce_func is None or when reduce_func acts on each pixel value individually.

>>> profile_line(img, (1, 2), (4, 2), linewidth=3, order=0,
...     reduce_func=None)
array([[1, 1, 2],
       [1, 1, 2],
       [1, 1, 2],

cucim.skimage.measure.regionprops(label_image, intensity_image=None, cache=True, *, extra_properties=None, spacing=None)#

Measure properties of labeled image regions.

Parameters
label_image(M, N[, P]) ndarray

Labeled input image. Labels with value 0 are ignored.

Changed in version 0.14.1: Previously, label_image was processed by numpy.squeeze and so any number of singleton dimensions was allowed. This resulted in inconsistent handling of images with singleton dimensions. To recover the old behaviour, use regionprops(np.squeeze(label_image), ...).

intensity_image(M, N[, P][, C]) ndarray, optional

Intensity (i.e., input) image with same size as labeled image, plus optionally an extra dimension for multichannel data. Currently, this extra channel dimension, if present, must be the last axis. Default is None.

Changed in version 0.18.0: The ability to provide an extra dimension for channels was added.

cachebool, optional

Determine whether to cache calculated properties. The computation is much faster for cached properties, whereas the memory consumption increases.

extra_propertiesIterable of callables

Add extra property computation functions that are not included with skimage. The name of the property is derived from the function name, the dtype is inferred by calling the function on a small sample. If the name of an extra property clashes with the name of an existing property the extra property will not be visible and a UserWarning is issued. A property computation function must take a region mask as its first argument. If the property requires an intensity image, it must accept the intensity image as the second argument.

spacing: tuple of float, shape (ndim,)

The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.

Returns
propertieslist of RegionProperties

Each item describes one labeled region, and can be accessed using the attributes listed below.

cucim.skimage.measure.regionprops_table(label_image, intensity_image=None, properties=('label', 'bbox'), *, cache=True, separator='-', extra_properties=None, spacing=None)#

Compute image properties and return them as a pandas-compatible table.

The table is a dictionary mapping column names to value arrays. See Notes section below for details.

New in version 0.16.

Parameters
label_image(M, N[, P]) ndarray

Labeled input image. Labels with value 0 are ignored.

intensity_image(M, N[, P][, C]) ndarray, optional

Intensity (i.e., input) image with same size as labeled image, plus optionally an extra dimension for multichannel data. The channel dimension, if present, must be the last axis. Default is None.

Changed in version 0.18.0: The ability to provide an extra dimension for channels was added.

propertiestuple or list of str, optional

Properties that will be included in the resulting dictionary For a list of available properties, please see regionprops(). Users should remember to add “label” to keep track of region identities.

cachebool, optional

Determine whether to cache calculated properties. The computation is much faster for cached properties, whereas the memory consumption increases.

separatorstr, optional

For non-scalar properties not listed in OBJECT_COLUMNS, each element will appear in its own column, with the index of that element separated from the property name by this separator. For example, the inertia tensor of a 2D region will appear in four columns: inertia_tensor-0-0, inertia_tensor-0-1, inertia_tensor-1-0, and inertia_tensor-1-1 (where the separator is -).

Object columns are those that cannot be split in this way because the number of columns would change depending on the object. For example, image and coords.

extra_propertiesIterable of callables

Add extra property computation functions that are not included with skimage. The name of the property is derived from the function name, the dtype is inferred by calling the function on a small sample. If the name of an extra property clashes with the name of an existing property the extra property will not be visible and a UserWarning is issued. A property computation function must take a region mask as its first argument. If the property requires an intensity image, it must accept the intensity image as the second argument.

spacing: tuple of float, shape (ndim,)

The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.

Returns
out_dictdict

Dictionary mapping property names to an array of values of that property, one value per region. This dictionary can be used as input to pandas DataFrame to map property names to columns in the frame and regions to rows. If the image has no regions, the arrays will have length 0, but the correct type.

Notes

Each column contains either a scalar property, an object property, or an element in a multidimensional array.

Properties with scalar values for each region, such as “eccentricity”, will appear as a float or int array with that property name as key.

Multidimensional properties of fixed size for a given image dimension, such as “centroid” (every centroid will have three elements in a 3D image, no matter the region size), will be split into that many columns, with the name {property_name}{separator}{element_num} (for 1D properties), {property_name}{separator}{elem_num0}{separator}{elem_num1} (for 2D properties), and so on.

For multidimensional properties that don’t have a fixed size, such as “image” (the image of a region varies in size depending on the region size), an object array will be used, with the corresponding property name as the key.

Examples

>>> from skimage import data, util, measure
>>> image = data.coins()
>>> label_image = measure.label(image > 110, connectivity=image.ndim)
>>> props = measure.regionprops_table(label_image, image,
...                           properties=['label', 'inertia_tensor',
...                                       'inertia_tensor_eigvals'])
>>> props  
{'label': array([ 1,  2, ...]), ...
 'inertia_tensor-0-0': array([  4.012...e+03,   8.51..., ...]), ...
 ...,
 'inertia_tensor_eigvals-1': array([  2.67...e+02,   2.83..., ...])}

The resulting dictionary can be directly passed to pandas, if installed, to obtain a clean DataFrame:

>>> import pandas as pd  
>>> data = pd.DataFrame(props)  
>>> data.head()  
   label  inertia_tensor-0-0  ...  inertia_tensor_eigvals-1
0      1         4012.909888  ...                267.065503
1      2            8.514739  ...                  2.834806
2      3            0.666667  ...                  0.000000
3      4            0.000000  ...                  0.000000
4      5            0.222222  ...                  0.111111

[5 rows x 7 columns]

If we want to measure a feature that does not come as a built-in property, we can define custom functions and pass them as extra_properties. For example, we can create a custom function that measures the intensity quartiles in a region:

>>> from skimage import data, util, measure
>>> import numpy as np
>>> def quartiles(regionmask, intensity):
...     return np.percentile(intensity[regionmask], q=(25, 50, 75))
>>>
>>> image = data.coins()
>>> label_image = measure.label(image > 110, connectivity=image.ndim)
>>> props = measure.regionprops_table(label_image, intensity_image=image,
...                                   properties=('label',),
...                                   extra_properties=(quartiles,))
>>> import pandas as pd 
>>> pd.DataFrame(props).head() 
       label  quartiles-0  quartiles-1  quartiles-2
0      1       117.00        123.0        130.0
1      2       111.25        112.0        114.0
2      3       111.00        111.0        111.0
3      4       111.00        111.5        112.5
4      5       112.50        113.0        114.0

metrics#

cucim.skimage.metrics.adapted_rand_error(image_true=None, image_test=None, *, table=None, ignore_labels=(0,), alpha=0.5)#

Compute Adapted Rand error as defined by the SNEMI3D contest. [1]

Parameters
image_truecp.ndarray of int

Ground-truth label image, same shape as im_test.

image_testcp.ndarray of int

Test image.

tablecupyx.scipy.sparse array in csr format, optional

A contingency table built with skimage.evaluate.contingency_table. If None, it will be computed on the fly.

ignore_labelssequence of int, optional

Labels to ignore. Any part of the true image labeled with any of these values will not be counted in the score.

alphafloat, optional

Relative weight given to precision and recall in the adapted Rand error calculation.

Returns
arefloat

The adapted Rand error.

precfloat

The adapted Rand precision: this is the number of pairs of pixels that have the same label in the test label image and in the true image, divided by the number in the test image.

recfloat

The adapted Rand recall: this is the number of pairs of pixels that have the same label in the test label image and in the true image, divided by the number in the true image.

Notes

Pixels with label 0 in the true segmentation are ignored in the score.

The adapted Rand error is calculated as follows:

\(1 - \frac{\sum_{ij} p_{ij}^{2}}{\alpha \sum_{k} s_{k}^{2} + (1-\alpha)\sum_{k} t_{k}^{2}}\), where \(p_{ij}\) is the probability that a pixel has the same label in the test image and in the true image, \(t_{k}\) is the probability that a pixel has label \(k\) in the true image, and \(s_{k}\) is the probability that a pixel has label \(k\) in the test image.

Default behavior is to weight precision and recall equally in the adapted Rand error calculation. When alpha = 0, adapted Rand error = recall. When alpha = 1, adapted Rand error = precision.

cucim.skimage.metrics.normalized_root_mse(image_true, image_test, *, normalization='euclidean')#

Compute the normalized root mean-squared error (NRMSE) between two images.

Parameters
image_truendarray

Ground-truth image, same shape as im_test.

image_testndarray

Test image.

normalization{‘euclidean’, ‘min-max’, ‘mean’}, optional

Controls the normalization method to use in the denominator of the NRMSE. There is no standard method of normalization across the literature [1]. The methods available here are as follows:

  • ‘euclidean’ : normalize by the averaged Euclidean norm of im_true:

    NRMSE = RMSE * sqrt(N) / || im_true ||
    

    where || . || denotes the Frobenius norm and N = im_true.size. This result is equivalent to:

    NRMSE = || im_true - im_test || / || im_true ||.
    
  • ‘min-max’ : normalize by the intensity range of im_true.

  • ‘mean’ : normalize by the mean of im_true

Returns
nrmsefloat

The NRMSE metric.

Parameters
image_truendarray

Ground-truth image, same shape as im_test.

image_testndarray

Test image.

data_rangeint, optional

The data range of the input image (distance between minimum and maximum possible values). By default, this is estimated from the image data-type.

cucim.skimage.metrics.structural_similarity(im1, im2, *, win_size=None, gradient=False, data_range=None, channel_axis=None, gaussian_weights=False, full=False, **kwargs)#

Compute the mean structural similarity index between two images. Please pay attention to the data_range parameter with floating-point images.

Parameters
im1, im2ndarray

Images. Any dimensionality with same shape.

win_sizeint or None, optional

The side-length of the sliding window used in comparison. Must be an odd value. If gaussian_weights is True, this is ignored and the window size will depend on sigma.

gradientbool, optional

If True, also return the gradient with respect to im2.

data_rangefloat, optional

The data range of the input image (difference between maximum and minimum possible values). By default, this is estimated from the image data type. This estimate may be wrong for floating-point image data. Therefore it is recommended to always pass this scalar value explicitly (see note below).

channel_axisint or None, optional

If None, the image is assumed to be a grayscale (single channel) image. Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to channels.

gaussian_weightsbool, optional

If True, each patch has its mean and variance spatially weighted by a normalized Gaussian kernel of width sigma=1.5.

fullbool, optional

If True, also return the full structural similarity image.

Returns
mssimfloat

The mean structural similarity index over the image.

gradndarray

The gradient of the structural similarity between im1 and im2 [2]. This is only returned if gradient is set to True.

Sndarray

The full SSIM image. This is only returned if full is set to True.

Other Parameters
use_sample_covariancebool

If True, normalize covariances by N-1 rather than, N where N is the number of pixels within the sliding window.

K1float

Algorithm parameter, K1 (small constant, see [1]).

K2float

Algorithm parameter, K2 (small constant, see [1]).

sigmafloat

Standard deviation for the Gaussian when gaussian_weights is True.

Notes

If data_range is not specified, the range is automatically guessed based on the image data type. However for floating-point image data, this estimate yields a result double the value of the desired range, as the dtype_range in skimage.util.dtype.py has defined intervals from -1 to +1. This yields an estimate of 2, instead of 1, which is most often required when working with image data (as negative light intensities are nonsensical). In case of working with YCbCr-like color data, note that these ranges are different per channel (Cb and Cr have double the range of Y), so one cannot calculate a channel-averaged SSIM with a single call to this function, as identical ranges are assumed for each channel.

To match the implementation of Wang et al. [1], set gaussian_weights to True, sigma to 1.5, use_sample_covariance to False, and specify the data_range argument.

Changed in version 0.16: This function was renamed from skimage.measure.compare_ssim to skimage.metrics.structural_similarity.

cucim.skimage.metrics.variation_of_information(image0=None, image1=None, *, table=None, ignore_labels=())#

Return symmetric conditional entropies associated with the VI. [1]

The variation of information is defined as VI(X,Y) = H(X|Y) + H(Y|X). If X is the ground-truth segmentation, then H(X|Y) can be interpreted as the amount of under-segmentation and H(X|Y) as the amount of over-segmentation. In other words, a perfect over-segmentation will have H(X|Y)=0 and a perfect under-segmentation will have H(Y|X)=0.

Parameters
image0, image1cp.ndarray of int

Label images / segmentations, must have same shape.

tablecupyx.scipy.sparse array in csr format, optional

A contingency table built with skimage.evaluate.contingency_table. If None, it will be computed with skimage.evaluate.contingency_table. If given, the entropies will be computed from this table and any images will be ignored.

ignore_labelssequence of int, optional

Labels to ignore. Any part of the true image labeled with any of these values will not be counted in the score.

Returns
vicp.ndarray of float, shape (2,)

The conditional entropies of image1|image0 and image0|image1.

morphology#

Utilities that operate on shapes in images.

These operations are particularly suited for binary images, although some may be useful for images of other types as well.

Basic morphological operations include dilation and erosion.

cucim.skimage.morphology.ball(radius, dtype=<class 'numpy.uint8'>, *, strict_radius=True, decomposition=None)#

Generates a ball-shaped footprint.

This is the 3D equivalent of a disk. A pixel is within the neighborhood if the Euclidean distance between it and the origin is no greater than radius.

Parameters
radiusint

The radius of the ball-shaped footprint.

Returns
footprintcupy.ndarray

The footprint where elements of the neighborhood are 1 and 0 otherwise.

Other Parameters
dtypedata-type, optional

The data type of the footprint.

strict_radiusbool, optional

If False, extend the radius by 0.5. This allows the circle to expand further within a cube that remains of size 2 * radius + 1 along each axis. This parameter is ignored if decomposition is not None.

decomposition{None, ‘sequence’}, optional

If None, a single array is returned. For ‘sequence’, a tuple of smaller footprints is returned. Applying this series of smaller footprints will given a result equivalent to a single, larger footprint, but with better computational performance. For ball footprints, the sequence decomposition is not exactly equivalent to decomposition=None. See Notes for more details.

Notes

The disk produced by the decomposition=’sequence’ mode is not identical to that with decomposition=None. Here we extend the approach taken in [1] for disks to the 3D case, using 3-dimensional extensions of the “square”, “diamond” and “t-shaped” elements from that publication. All of these elementary elements have size (3,) * ndim. We numerically computed the number of repetitions of each element that gives the closest match to the ball computed with kwargs strict_radius=False, decomposition=None.

Empirically, the equivalent composite footprint to the sequence decomposition approaches a rhombicuboctahedron (26-faces [2]).

cucim.skimage.morphology.binary_closing(image, footprint=None, out=None, *, mode='ignore')#

Return fast binary morphological closing of an image.

This function returns the same result as grayscale closing but performs faster for binary images.

The morphological closing on an image is defined as a dilation followed by an erosion. Closing can remove small dark spots (i.e. “pepper”) and connect small bright cracks. This tends to “close” up (dark) gaps between (bright) features.

Parameters
imagendarray

Binary input image.

footprintndarray or tuple, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

outndarray of bool, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None, is passed, a new array will be allocated.

modestr, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled. Valid modes are: ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘ignore’. If ‘ignore’, pixels outside the image domain are assumed to be True for the erosion and False for the dilation, which causes them to not influence the result. Default is ‘ignore’.

New in version 24.06: mode was added in 24.06.

Returns
closingndarray of bool

The result of the morphological closing.

Notes

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost. Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

cucim.skimage.morphology.binary_dilation(image, footprint=None, out=None, *, mode='ignore')#

Return fast binary morphological dilation of an image.

This function returns the same result as grayscale dilation but performs faster for binary images.

Morphological dilation sets a pixel at (i,j) to the maximum over all pixels in the neighborhood centered at (i,j). Dilation enlarges bright regions and shrinks dark regions.

Parameters
imagendarray

Binary input image.

footprintndarray or tuple, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

outndarray of bool, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None is passed, a new array will be allocated.

modestr, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled. Valid modes are: ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘ignore’. If ‘min’ or ‘ignore’, pixels outside the image domain are assumed to be False, which causes them to not influence the result. Default is ‘ignore’.

New in version 24.06: mode was added in 24.06.

Returns
dilatedndarray of bool or uint

The result of the morphological dilation with values in [False, True].

Notes

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost. Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

For non-symmetric footprints, skimage.morphology.binary_dilation() and skimage.morphology.dilation() produce an output that differs: binary_dilation mirrors the footprint, whereas dilation does not.

cucim.skimage.morphology.binary_erosion(image, footprint=None, out=None, *, mode='ignore')#

Return fast binary morphological erosion of an image.

This function returns the same result as grayscale erosion but performs faster for binary images.

Morphological erosion sets a pixel at (i,j) to the minimum over all pixels in the neighborhood centered at (i,j). Erosion shrinks bright regions and enlarges dark regions.

Parameters
imagendarray

Binary input image.

footprintndarray or tuple, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

outndarray of bool, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None is passed, a new array will be allocated.

modestr, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled. Valid modes are: ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘ignore’. If ‘max’ or ‘ignore’, pixels outside the image domain are assumed to be True, which causes them to not influence the result. Default is ‘ignore’.

New in version 24.06: mode was added in 24.06.

Returns
erodedndarray of bool or uint

The result of the morphological erosion taking values in [False, True].

Notes

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost. Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

For even-sized footprints, skimage.morphology.erosion() and this function produce an output that differs: one is shifted by one pixel compared to the other.

cucim.skimage.morphology.binary_opening(image, footprint=None, out=None, *, mode='ignore')#

Return fast binary morphological opening of an image.

This function returns the same result as grayscale opening but performs faster for binary images.

The morphological opening on an image is defined as an erosion followed by a dilation. Opening can remove small bright spots (i.e. “salt”) and connect small dark cracks. This tends to “open” up (dark) gaps between (bright) features.

Parameters
imagendarray

Binary input image.

footprintndarray or tuple, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

outndarray of bool, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None is passed, a new array will be allocated.

modestr, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled. Valid modes are: ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘ignore’. If ‘ignore’, pixels outside the image domain are assumed to be True for the erosion and False for the dilation, which causes them to not influence the result. Default is ‘ignore’.

New in version 24.06: mode was added in 24.06

Returns
openingndarray of bool

The result of the morphological opening.

Notes

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost. Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

cucim.skimage.morphology.black_tophat(image, footprint=None, out=None, *, mode='reflect', cval=0.0)#

Return black top hat of an image.

The black top hat of an image is defined as its morphological closing minus the original image. This operation returns the dark spots of the image that are smaller than the footprint. Note that dark spots in the original image are bright spots after the black top hat.

Parameters
imagecupy.ndarray

Image array.

footprintcupy.ndarray, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

outcupy.ndarray, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None is passed, a new array will be allocated.

modestr, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled. Valid modes are: ‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’, ‘max’, ‘min’, or ‘ignore’. If ‘max’ or ‘ignore’, pixels outside the image domain are assumed to be the maximum for the image’s dtype, which causes them to not influence the result. Default is ‘reflect’.

cvalscalar, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0.

New in version 24.06: mode and cval were added in 24.06.

Returns
outcupy.ndarray, same shape and type as image

The result of the morphological black top hat.

Notes

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost.

cucim.skimage.morphology.closing(image, footprint=None, out=None, *, mode='reflect', cval=0.0)#

Return grayscale morphological closing of an image.

The morphological closing of an image is defined as a dilation followed by an erosion. Closing can remove small dark spots (i.e. “pepper”) and connect small bright cracks. This tends to “close” up (dark) gaps between (bright) features.

Parameters
imagecupy.ndarray

Image array.

New in version 24.06: mode and cval were added in 24.06.

Returns

The result of the morphological closing.

Notes

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost. Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

Examples

>>> # Close a gap between two bright lines
>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cucim.skimage.morphology import square
>>> broken_line = cp.asarray([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                           [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                           [1, 1, 0, 1, 1],
...                           [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                           [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=cp.uint8)

       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=uint8)
cucim.skimage.morphology.cube(width, dtype=None, *, decomposition=None)#

Generates a cube-shaped footprint.

This is the 3D equivalent of a square. Every pixel along the perimeter has a chessboard distance no greater than radius (radius=floor(width/2)) pixels.

Parameters
widthint

The width, height and depth of the cube.

Returns
footprintcupy.ndarray

The footprint where elements of the neighborhood are 1 and 0 otherwise. When decomposition is None, this is just a numpy.ndarray. Otherwise, this will be a tuple whose length is equal to the number of unique structuring elements to apply (see Notes for more detail)

Other Parameters
dtypedata-type or None, optional

The data type of the footprint. When None, a tuple will be returned in place of the actual footprint array. This can be be passed to grayscale and binary morphology functions in place of an explicit array to avoid array allocation overhead.

decomposition{None, ‘separable’, ‘sequence’}, optional

If None, a single array is returned. For ‘sequence’, a tuple of smaller footprints is returned. Applying this series of smaller footprints will given an identical result to a single, larger footprint, but often with better computational performance. See Notes for more details.

Notes

When decomposition is not None, each element of the footprint tuple is a 2-tuple of the form (ndarray, num_iter) that specifies a footprint array and the number of iterations it is to be applied.

For binary morphology, using decomposition='sequence' was observed to give better performance, with the magnitude of the performance increase rapidly increasing with footprint size. For grayscale morphology with square footprints, it is recommended to use decomposition=None since the internal SciPy functions that are called already have a fast implementation based on separable 1D sliding windows.

The ‘sequence’ decomposition mode only supports odd valued width. If width is even, the sequence used will be identical to the ‘separable’ mode.

cucim.skimage.morphology.diamond(radius, dtype=<class 'numpy.uint8'>, *, decomposition=None)#

Generates a flat, diamond-shaped footprint.

A pixel is part of the neighborhood (i.e. labeled 1) if the city block/Manhattan distance between it and the center of the neighborhood is no greater than radius.

Parameters
radiusint

The radius of the diamond-shaped footprint.

Returns
footprintcupy.ndarray

The footprint where elements of the neighborhood are 1 and 0 otherwise. When decomposition is None, this is just a numpy.ndarray. Otherwise, this will be a tuple whose length is equal to the number of unique structuring elements to apply (see Notes for more detail)

Other Parameters
dtypedata-type, optional

The data type of the footprint.

decomposition{None, ‘sequence’}, optional

If None, a single array is returned. For ‘sequence’, a tuple of smaller footprints is returned. Applying this series of smaller footprints will given an identical result to a single, larger footprint, but with better computational performance. See Notes for more details.

Notes

When decomposition is not None, each element of the footprint tuple is a 2-tuple of the form (ndarray, num_iter) that specifies a footprint array and the number of iterations it is to be applied.

For either binary or grayscale morphology, using decomposition='sequence' was observed to have a performance benefit, with the magnitude of the benefit increasing with increasing footprint size.

cucim.skimage.morphology.dilation(image, footprint=None, out=None, shift_x=<DEPRECATED>, shift_y=<DEPRECATED>, *, mode='reflect', cval=0.0)#

Return grayscale morphological dilation of an image.

Morphological dilation sets the value of a pixel to the maximum over all pixel values within a local neighborhood centered about it. The values where the footprint is 1 define this neighborhood. Dilation enlarges bright regions and shrinks dark regions.

Parameters
imagecupy.ndarray

Image array.

footprintcupy.ndarray, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

outcupy.ndarray, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None is passed, a new array will be allocated.

modestr, optional

The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled. Valid modes are: ‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’, ‘max’, ‘min’, or ‘ignore’. If ‘max’ or ‘ignore’, pixels outside the image domain are assumed to be the maximum for the image’s dtype, which causes them to not influence the result. Default is ‘reflect’.

cvalscalar, optional

Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0.

New in version 24.06: mode and cval were added in 24.06.

Returns
dilatedcupy.ndarray, same shape and type as image

The result of the morphological dilation.

Other Parameters
shift_x, shift_yDEPRECATED

Deprecated since version 24.06.

Notes

For uint8 (and uint16 up to a certain bit-depth) data, the lower algorithm complexity makes the skimage.filters.rank.maximum() function more efficient for larger images and footprints.

The footprint can also be a provided as a sequence of 2-tuples where the first element of each 2-tuple is a footprint ndarray and the second element is an integer describing the number of times it should be iterated. For example footprint=[(cp.ones((9, 1)), 1), (cp.ones((1, 9)), 1)] would apply a 9x1 footprint followed by a 1x9 footprint resulting in a net effect that is the same as footprint=cp.ones((9, 9)), but with lower computational cost. Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

For non-symmetric footprints, skimage.morphology.binary_dilation() and skimage.morphology.dilation() produce an output that differs: binary_dilation mirrors the footprint, whereas dilation does not.

Examples

>>> # Dilation enlarges bright regions
>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cucim.skimage.morphology import square
>>> bright_pixel = cp.asarray([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
...                            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=cp.uint8)
>>> dilation(bright_pixel, square(3))
array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], dtype=uint8)
cucim.skimage.morphology.disk(radius, dtype=<class 'numpy.uint8'>, *, strict_radius=True, decomposition=None)#

Generates a flat, disk-shaped footprint.

A pixel is within the neighborhood if the Euclidean distance between it and the origin is no greater than radius (This is only approximately True, when decomposition == ‘sequence’).

Parameters
radiusint

The radius of the disk-shaped footprint.

Returns
footprintcupy.ndarray

The footprint where elements of the neighborhood are 1 and 0 otherwise.

Other Parameters
dtypedata-type, optional

The data type of the footprint.

strict_radiusbool, optional

If False, extend the radius by 0.5. This allows the circle to expand further within a cube that remains of size 2 * radius + 1 along each axis. This parameter is ignored if decomposition is not None.

decomposition{None, ‘sequence’, ‘crosses’}, optional

If None, a single array is returned. For ‘sequence’, a tuple of smaller footprints is returned. Applying this series of smaller footprints will given a result equivalent to a single, larger footprint, but with better computational performance. For disk footprints, the ‘sequence’ or ‘crosses’ decompositions are not always exactly equivalent to decomposition=None. See Notes for more details.

Notes

When decomposition is not None, each element of the footprint tuple is a 2-tuple of the form (ndarray, num_iter) that specifies a footprint array and the number of iterations it is to be applied.

The disk produced by the decomposition='sequence' mode may not be identical to that with decomposition=None. A disk footprint can be approximated by applying a series of smaller footprints of extent 3 along each axis. Specific solutions for this are given in [1] for the case of 2D disks with radius 2 through 10. Here, we numerically computed the number of repetitions of each element that gives the closest match to the disk computed with kwargs strict_radius=False, decomposition=None.

Empirically, the series decomposition at large radius approaches a hexadecagon (a 16-sided polygon [2]). In [3], the authors demonstrate that a hexadecagon is the closest approximation to a disk that can be achieved for decomposition with footprints of shape (3, 3).

The disk produced by the decomposition='crosses' is often but not always identical to that with decomposition=None. It tends to give a closer approximation than decomposition='sequence', at a performance that is fairly comparable. The individual cross-shaped elements are not limited to extent (3, 3) in size. Unlike the ‘seqeuence’ decomposition, the ‘crosses’ decomposition can also accurately approximate the shape of disks with strict_radius=True. The method is based on an adaption of algorithm 1 given in [4].

Return grayscale morphological erosion of an image.

Morphological erosion sets a pixel at (i,j) to the minimum over all pixels in the neighborhood centered at (i,j). Erosion shrinks bright regions and enlarges dark regions.

Parameters
imagecupy.ndarray

Image array.

footprintcupy.ndarray, optional

The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. If None, use a cross-shaped footprint (connectivity=1). The footprint can also be provided as a sequence of smaller footprints as described in the notes below.

Most of the builtin footprints such as skimage.morphology.disk() provide an option to automatically generate a footprint sequence of this type.

For even-sized footprints, skimage.morphology.binary_erosion() and this function produce an output that differs: one is shifted by one pixel compared to the other.

Examples

>>> # Erosion shrinks bright regions
>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cucim.skimage.morphology import square
>>> bright_square = cp.asarray([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
...                             [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],

cucim.skimage.morphology.isotropic_closing(image, radius, out=None, spacing=None)#

Return binary morphological closing of an image.

This function returns the same result as binary skimage.morphology.binary_closing() but performs faster for large circular structuring elements. This works by thresholding the exact Euclidean distance map [1], [2]. The implementation is based on: func:cucim.core.operations.morphology.distance_transform_edt.

Parameters
imagendarray

Binary input image.

radiusfloat

The radius with which the regions should be closed.

outndarray of bool, optional

The array to store the result of the morphology. If None, is passed, a new array will be allocated.

spacingfloat, or sequence of float, optional

Spacing of elements along each dimension. If a sequence, must be of length equal to the input’s dimension (number of axes). If a single number, this value is used for all axes. If not specified, a grid spacing of unity is implied.

Returns
closedndarray of bool

The result of the morphological closing.

Notes

Empirically, on an RTX A6000 GPU, it was observed that isotropic_closing is faster than binary_closing with decomposition=None at radius 12 in 2D and radius 3 in 3D. It becomes faster than binary_erosion with decomposition="sequence" at radius 14 in 2D and radius 5 in 3D. In practice, the exact point at which these isotropic functions become faster than their binary counterparts will also be dependent on image shape and content.

cucim.skimage.morphology.medial_axis(image, mask=None, return_distance=False, *, seed=<DEPRECATED>, rng=None)#

Compute the medial axis transform of a binary image.

Parameters
imagebinary ndarray, shape (M, N)

The image of the shape to skeletonize. If this input isn’t already a binary image, it gets converted into one: In this case, zero values are considered background (False), nonzero values are considered foreground (True).

maskbinary ndarray, shape (M, N), optional

If a mask is given, only those elements in image with a true value in mask are used for computing the medial axis.

return_distancebool, optional

If true, the distance transform is returned as well as the skeleton.

rng{numpy.random.Generator, int}, optional

Pseudo-random number generator. By default, a PCG64 generator is used (see numpy.random.default_rng()). If rng is an int, it is used to seed the generator.

The PRNG determines the order in which pixels are processed for tiebreaking.

Note: Due to a missing permute method on CuPy’s random Generator class, only a numpy.random.Generator is currently supported.

Returns
outndarray of bools

Medial axis transform of the image

distndarray of ints, optional

Distance transform of the image (only returned if return_distance is True)

Other Parameters
seedDEPRECATED

Deprecated in favor of rng.

Deprecated since version 23.12.

Notes

This algorithm computes the medial axis transform of an image as the ridges of its distance transform.

The different steps of the algorithm are as follows
  • A lookup table is used, that assigns 0 or 1 to each configuration of the 3x3 binary square, whether the central pixel should be removed or kept. We want a point to be removed if it has more than one neighbor and if removing it does not change the number of connected components.

  • The distance transform to the background is computed, as well as the cornerness of the pixel.

  • The foreground (value of 1) points are ordered by the distance transform, then the cornerness.

  • A cython function is called to reduce the image to its skeleton. It processes pixels in the order determined at the previous step, and removes or maintains a pixel according to the lookup table. Because of the ordering, it is possible to process all pixels in only one pass.
