How to remove zero columns from array - matlab

I have an array which looks similar to:
0 2 3 4 0 0 7 8 0 10
0 32 44 47 0 0 37 54 0 36
I wish to remove all
0
0
from this to get:
2 3 4 7 8 10
32 44 47 37 54 36
I've tried x(x == 0) = []
but I get:
x =
2 32 3 44 4 47 7 37 8 54 10 36
How can I remove all zero columns?

Here is a possible solution:
x(:,all(x==0))=[]

You had the right approach with x(x == 0) = [];. By doing this, you would remove the right amount of elements that can still form a 2D matrix and this actually gives you a vector of values that are non-zero. All you have to do is reshape the matrix back to its original form with 2 rows:
x(x == 0) = [];
y = reshape(x, 2, [])
y =
2 3 4 7 8 10
32 44 47 37 54 36
Another way is with any:
y = x(:,any(x,1));
In this case, we look for any columns that are non-zero and use these locations to index into x and extract out those corresponding columns.
Result:
y =
2 3 4 7 8 10
32 44 47 37 54 36
Another way which is more for academic purposes is to use unique. Assuming that your matrix has all positive values:
[~,~,id] = unique(x.', 'rows');
y = x(:, id ~= 1)
y =
2 3 4 7 8 10
32 44 47 37 54 36
We transpose x so that each column becomes a row, and we look for all unique rows. The reason why the matrix needs to have all positive values is because the third output of unique assigns unique ID to each unique row in sorted order. Therefore, if we have all positive values, then a row of all zeroes would be assigned an ID of 1. Using this array, we search for IDs that were not assigned a value of 1, and use those to index into x to extract out the necessary columns.

You could also use sum.
Sum over the columns and any column with zeros only will be zeros after the summation as well.
sum(x,1)
ans =
0 34 47 51 0 0 44 62 0 46
x(:,sum(x,1)>0)
ans =
2 3 4 7 8 10
32 44 47 37 54 36

Also by reshaping nonzeros(x) as follows:
reshape(nonzeros(x), size(x,1), [])
ans =
2 3 4 7 8 10
32 44 47 37 54 36

Matlab replace consecutive zero value with others value

I have this matrix:
A = [92 92 92 91 91 91 146 146 146 0
0 0 112 112 112 127 127 127 35 35
16 16 121 121 121 55 55 55 148 148
0 0 0 96 96 0 0 0 0 0
0 16 16 16 140 140 140 0 0 0]
How can I replace consecutive zero value with shuffled consecutive value from matrix B?
B = [3 3 3 5 5 6 6 2 2 2 7 7 7]
The required result is some matrix like this:
A = [92 92 92 91 91 91 146 146 146 0
6 6 112 112 112 127 127 127 35 35
16 16 121 121 121 55 55 55 148 148
7 7 7 96 96 5 5 3 3 3
0 16 16 16 140 140 140 2 2 2]
You simply can do it like this:
[M,N]=size(A);
for i=1:M
for j=1:N
if A(i,j)==0
A(i,j)=B(i+j);
end
end
end
If I understand it correctly from what you've described, your solution is going to need the following steps:
Loop over the rows of your matrix, e.g. for row = 1:size(A, 1)
Loop over the elements of each row, identify where each run of zeroes starts and store the indices and the length of the run. For example you might end up with a matrix like: consecutiveZeroes = [ 2 1 2 ; 4 1 3 ; 4 6 5 ; 5 8 3 ] indicating that you have a run at (2, 1) of length 2, a run at (4, 1) of length 3, a run at (4, 6) of length 5, and a run at (5, 8) of length 3.
Now loop over the elements of B counting up how many elements there are of each value. For example you might store this as replacementValues = [ 3 3 ; 2 5 ; 2 6 ; 3 2 ; 3 7 ] meaning three 3's, two 5's, two 6's etc.
Now take a row from your consecutiveZeroes matrix and randomly choose a row of replacementValues that specifies the same number of elements, replace the zeroes in A with the values from replacementValues, and delete the row from replacementValues to show that you've used it.
If there isn't a row in replacementValues that describes a long enough run of values to replace one of your runs of zeroes, find a combination of two or more rows from replacementValues that will work.
You can't do this with just a single pass through the matrix, because presumably you could have a matrix A like [ 15 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 ; 2 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 9 ] and a vector B like [ 2 2 2 3 3 3 7 7 5 5 5 5 ], where you can only achieve what you want if you use the four 5's and two 7's and not the three 2's and three 3's to substitute for the run of six zeroes, because you have to leave the 2's and 3's for the two runs of three zeroes in the next row. The easiest approach if efficiency is not critical would probably be to run the algorithm multiple times trying different random combinations until you get one that works - but you'll need to decide how many times to try before giving up in case the input data actually has no solution.
If you get stuck on any of these steps I suggest asking a new, more specific question.

Matlab: how I can transform this algorithm associated with matrices manipulation?

(For my problem, I use a matrix A 4x500000. And the values of A(4,k) varies between 1 and 200).
I give here an example for a case A 4x16 and A(4,k) varies between 1 and 10.
I want first to match a name to the value from 1 to 5 (=10/2):
1 = XXY;
2 = ABC;
3 = EFG;
4 = TXG;
5 = ZPF;
My goal is to find,for a vector X, a matrix M from the matrix A:
A = [20 52 70 20 52 20 52 20 20 10 52 20 11 1 52 20
32 24 91 44 60 32 24 32 32 12 11 32 2 5 24 32
40 37 24 30 11 40 37 40 40 5 10 40 40 3 37 40
2 4 1 3 4 5 2 1 3 3 8 6 7 9 6 10]
A(4,k) takes all values between 1 and 10. These values can be repeated and they all appear on the 4th line.
20
X= 32 =A(1:3,1)=A(1:3,6)=A(1:3,8)=A(1:3,9)=A(1:3,12)=A(1:3,16)
40
A(4,1) = 2;
A(4,6) = 5;
A(4,8) = 1;
A(4,9) = 3;
A(4,12) = 6;
A(4,16) = 10;
for A(4,k) corresponding to X, I associate 2 if A(4,k)<= 5, and 1 if A(4,k)> 5. For the rest of the value of A(4,k) which do not correspond to X, I associate 0:
[ 1 2 3 4 5 %% value of the fourth line of A between 1 and 5
2 2 2 0 2
ZX = 6 7 8 9 10 %% value of the fourth line of A between 6 and 10
1 0 0 0 1
2 2 2 0 2 ] %% = max(ZX(2,k),ZX(4,k))
the ultimate goal is to find the matrix M:
M = [ 1 2 3 4 5
XXY ABC EFG TXG ZPF
2 2 2 0 2 ] %% M(3,:)=ZX(5,:)
Code -
%// Assuming A, X and names to be given to the solution
A = [20 52 70 20 52 20 52 20 20 10 52 20 11 1 52 20
32 24 91 44 60 32 24 32 32 12 11 32 2 5 24 32
40 37 24 30 11 40 37 40 40 5 10 40 40 3 37 40
2 4 1 3 4 5 2 1 3 3 8 6 7 9 6 10];
X = [20 ; 32 ; 40];
names = {'XXY','ABC','EFG','TXG','ZPF'};
limit = 10; %// The maximum limit of A(4,:). Edit this to 200 for your actual case
%// Find matching 4th row elements
matches = A(4,ismember(A(1:3,:)',X','rows'));
%// Matches are compared against all possible numbers between 1 and limit
matches_pos = ismember(1:limit,matches);
%// Finally get the line 3 results of M
vals = max(2*matches_pos(1:limit/2),matches_pos( (limit/2)+1:end ));
Output -
vals =
2 2 2 0 2
For a better way to present the results, you can use a struct -
M_struct = cell2struct(num2cell(vals),names,2)
Output -
M_struct =
XXY: 2
ABC: 2
EFG: 2
TXG: 0
ZPF: 2
For writing the results to a text file -
output_file = 'results.txt'; %// Edit if needed to be saved to a different path
fid = fopen(output_file, 'w+');
for ii=1:numel(names)
fprintf(fid, '%d %s %d\n',ii, names{ii},vals(ii));
end
fclose(fid);
Text contents of the text file would be -
1 XXY 2
2 ABC 2
3 EFG 2
4 TXG 0
5 ZPF 2
A bsxfun() based approach.
Suppose your inputs are (where N can be set to 200):
A = [20 52 70 20 52 20 52 20 20 10 52 20 11 1 52 20
32 24 91 44 60 32 24 32 32 12 11 32 2 5 24 32
40 37 24 30 11 40 37 40 40 5 10 40 40 3 37 40
2 4 1 3 4 5 2 1 3 3 8 6 7 9 6 10]
X = [20; 32; 40]
N = 10;
% Match first 3 rows and return 4th
idxA = all(bsxfun(#eq, X, A(1:3,:)));
Amatch = A(4,idxA);
% Match [1:5; 5:10] to 4th row
idxZX = ismember([1:N/2; N/2+1:N], Amatch)
idxZX =
1 1 1 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
% Return M3
M3 = max(bsxfun(#times, idxZX, [2;1]))
M3 =
2 2 2 0 2

corresponding indices from two different matrices in matlab

In an algorithm, in each level, I have two corresponding matrices in a way one of them has 4 times more element than the other. like children and parent, but i need to have the corresponding elements. consider the two following indices as an example for a level
1 5 9 13
2 6 10 14 and 1 3
3 7 11 15 2 4
4 8 12 16
so for example, I want to receive the element by the index of 1 from the second matrix when i have each of 1,2,5,6 element indices from the first matrix or 2 when i have 3,4,7,8 or 3 for 9,10,16,14 and so on. how can i do that?
as an another example for another level:
1 9 17 25 33 41 49 57
2 10 18 26 34 42 50 58
3 11 19 27 35 43 51 59 and 1 5 9 13
4 12 20 28 36 44 52 60 2 6 10 14
5 13 21 29 37 45 53 61 3 7 11 15
6 14 22 30 38 46 54 62 4 8 12 16
7 15 23 31 39 47 55 63
8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64
Here is one way of doing that:
% Size of matrix A (8x8)
sizeA = 8;
% Size of matrix B (4x4)
sizeB = 4;
% Index of element on matrix A
idxA = 43;
% That is how you can get the corresponding index on matrix B
[r, c] = ind2sub([sizeA sizeA], idxA);
idxB = sub2ind([sizeB sizeB], ceil(r / 2), ceil(c / 2))
It will give you idxB = 10.
It is possible that reshape could be helpful for you.
Consider
A = [1 5 9 13;
2 6 10 14;
3 7 11 15;
4 8 12 16];
B = reshape(permute(reshape(A, [2 2 2 2]), [2 4 1 3]), [4 4]);
B
1 2 5 6
3 4 7 8
9 10 13 14
11 12 15 16
Now you have a nice mapping of the indices from one level to the next.
B(1,:) corresponds to all the indices that map to element 1 in your second array, etc.
When the matrix gets larger (2n x 2n), the operation becomes
B = reshape(permute(reshape(A, [2 n 2 n]), [2 4 1 3]), [n*n 4]);
If you know the 2D indices for the first matrix, then you just divide each by 2 to get the second pair indices:
r = 3;
c = 2;
% Then A(r,c) corresponds to B(floor(r/2), floor(c/2))
If you DON'T know the indices, but instead have the element value itself, you have to find the 2D index first:
val = 7; % test value
[r c] = find(A==val);
other_val = B(floor(r/2), floor(c/2));

Matrix division & permutation to achieve Baker map

I'm trying to implement the Baker map.
Is there a function that would allow one to divide a 8 x 8 matrix by providing, for example, a sequence of divisors 2, 4, 2 and rearranging pixels in the order as shown in the matrices below?
X = reshape(1:64,8,8);
After applying divisors 2,4,2 to the matrix X one should get a matrix like A shown below.
A=[31 23 15 7 32 24 16 8;
63 55 47 39 64 56 48 40;
11 3 12 4 13 5 14 6;
27 19 28 20 29 21 30 22;
43 35 44 36 45 37 46 38;
59 51 60 52 61 53 62 54;
25 17 9 1 26 18 10 2;
57 49 41 33 58 50 42 34]
The link to the document which I am working on is:
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.39.5132&rep=rep1&type=pdf
This is what I want to achieve:
Edit: a little more generic solution:
%function Z = bakermap(X,divisors)
function Z = bakermap()
X = reshape(1:64,8,8)'
divisors = [ 2 4 2 ];
[x,y] = size(X);
offsets = sum(divisors)-fliplr(cumsum(fliplr(divisors)));
if any(mod(y,divisors)) && ~(sum(divisors) == y)
disp('invalid divisor vector')
return
end
blocks = #(div) cell2mat( cellfun(#mtimes, repmat({ones(x/div,div)},div,1),...
num2cell(1:div)',...
'UniformOutput',false) );
%create index matrix
I = [];
for ii = 1:numel(divisors);
I = [I, blocks(divisors(ii))+offsets(ii)];
end
%create Baker map
Y = flipud(X);
Z = [];
for jj=1:I(end)
Z = [Z; Y(I==jj)'];
end
Z = flipud(Z);
end
returns:
index matrix:
I =
1 1 3 3 3 3 7 7
1 1 3 3 3 3 7 7
1 1 4 4 4 4 7 7
1 1 4 4 4 4 7 7
2 2 5 5 5 5 8 8
2 2 5 5 5 5 8 8
2 2 6 6 6 6 8 8
2 2 6 6 6 6 8 8
Baker map:
Z =
31 23 15 7 32 24 16 8
63 55 47 39 64 56 48 40
11 3 12 4 13 5 14 6
27 19 28 20 29 21 30 22
43 35 44 36 45 37 46 38
59 51 60 52 61 53 62 54
25 17 9 1 26 18 10 2
57 49 41 33 58 50 42 34
But have a look at the if-condition, it's just possible for these cases. I don't know if that's enough. I also tried something like divisors = [ 1 4 1 2 ] - and it worked. As long as the sum of all divisors is equal the row-length and the modulus as well, there shouldn't be problems.
Explanation:
% definition of anonymous function with input parameter: div: divisor vector
blocks = #(div) cell2mat( ... % converts final result into matrix
cellfun(#mtimes, ... % multiplies the next two inputs A,B
repmat(... % A...
{ones(x/div,div)},... % cell with a matrix of ones in size
of one subblock, e.g. [1,1,1,1;1,1,1,1]
div,1),... % which is replicated div-times according
to actual by cellfun processed divisor
num2cell(1:div)',... % creates a vector [1,2,3,4...] according
to the number of divisors, so so finally
every Block A gets an increasing factor
'UniformOutput',false...% necessary additional property of cellfun
));
Have also a look at this revision to have a simpler insight in what is happening. You requested a generic solution, thats the one above, the one linked was with more manual inputs.

Find closest matching distances for a set of points in a distance matrix in Matlab

I have a matrix of measured angles between M planes
0 52 77 79
52 0 10 14
77 10 0 3
79 14 3 0
I have a list of known angles between planes, which is an N-by-N matrix which I name rho. Here's is a subset of it (it's too large to display):
0 51 68 75 78 81 82
51 0 17 24 28 30 32
68 17 0 7 11 13 15
75 24 7 0 4 6 8
78 28 11 4 0 2 4
81 30 13 6 2 0 2
82 32 15 8 4 2 0
My mission is to find the set of M planes whose angles in rho are nearest to the measured angles.
For example, the measured angles for the planes shown above are relatively close to the known angles between planes 1, 2, 4 and 6.
Put differently, I need to find a set of points in a distance matrix (which uses cosine-related distances) which matches a set of distances I measured. This can also be thought of as matching a pattern to a mold.
In my problem, I have M=5 and N=415.
I really tried to get my head around it but have run out of time. So currently I'm using the simplest method: iterating over every possible combination of 3 planes but this is slow and currently written only for M=3. I then return a list of matching planes sorted by a matching score:
function [scores] = which_zones(rho, angles)
N = size(rho,1);
scores = zeros(N^3, 4);
index = 1;
for i=1:N-2
for j=(i+1):N-1
for k=(j+1):N
found_angles = [rho(i,j) rho(i,k) rho(j,k)];
score = sqrt(sum((found_angles-angles).^2));
scores(index,:)=[score i j k];
index = index + 1;
end
end;
end
scores=scores(1:(index-1),:); % was too lazy to pre-calculate #
scores=sortrows(scores, 1);
end
I have a feeling pdist2 might help but not sure how. I would appreciate any help in figuring this out.
There is http://www.mathworks.nl/help/matlab/ref/dsearchn.html for closest point search, but that requires same dimensionality. I think you have to bruteforce find it anyway because it's just a special problem.
Here's a way to bruteforce iterate over all unique combinations of the second matrix and calculate the score, after that you can find the one with the minimum score.
A=[ 0 52 77 79;
52 0 10 14;
77 10 0 3;
79 14 3 0];
B=[ 0 51 68 75 78 81 82;
51 0 17 24 28 30 32;
68 17 0 7 11 13 15;
75 24 7 0 4 6 8;
78 28 11 4 0 2 4;
81 30 13 6 2 0 2;
82 32 15 8 4 2 0];
M = size(A,1);
N = size(B,1);
% find all unique permutations of `1:M`
idx = nchoosek(1:N,M);
K = size(idx,1); % number of combinations = valid candidates for matching A
score = NaN(K,1);
idx_triu = triu(true(M,M),1);
Atriu = A(idx_triu);
for ii=1:K
partB = B(idx(ii,:),idx(ii,:));
partB_triu = partB(idx_triu);
score = norm(Atriu-partB_triu,2);
end
[~, best_match_idx] = min(score);
best_match = idx(best_match_idx,:);
The solution of your example actually is [1 2 3 4], so the upperleft part of B and not [1 2 4 6].
This would theoretically solve your problem, and I don't know how to make this algorithm any faster. But it will still be slow for large numbers. For example for your case of M=5 and N=415, there are 100 128 170 583 combinations of B which are a possible solution; just generating the selector indices is impossible in 32-bit because you can't address them all.
I think the real optimization here lies in cutting away some of the planes in the NxN matrix in a preceding filtering part.
