I want to take a large matrix and take the average of all 5x5 grids in it.
The matrix is 245x85x1255.I reshaped the matrix into a 5x4165x1255 size (the z dimension is not that important) and I want to take the average of elements 1:5, 5:10, 10:15 etc in each row. And then, with the resulting matrix, I want to average the five columns. Then I'll resize it back to it's original shape (but smaller of course).
I don't have to do it this way. I just need to take a 5x5 grid and average all the points in it. Then I take the next 5x5 grid next to it and average all those points.
Here's how I did it for the first 5x5 grid:
A = data_SpecificArea(:,1:5,:);
B = mean(A,2);
C = mean(B,1);
** Here's the working code using blockproc
% Change dataAll_SpecificArea to a 1x1 degree grid (5x5 block averaging)
fun = #(block_struct) mean(block_struct.data);
A = blockproc(dataAll_SpecificArea,[5 1],fun); % Size goes from 245x85x1255 to 49x85x1255
B = blockproc(A,[1 5],fun); % Size is 49x17x1255
You can use blockproc for that. For example,
fun = #(block_struct) mean(block_struct.data);
new_matrix = blockproc(old_matrix,[5 5],fun);

I have 2D matrixs of dimensions 400 x 500,each of these matrixs show an image. my process contain 2 steps:
1) I have to partition these images (split matrix to equal sized sub-matrices)
2) I have to save each of these split in one matrix
first step is done and dimention of matrix change from 2D-->3D (the last index shows index of splits)
now for the step 2 I have 100 images and I want to have matrix with 4 dimensions which the last index show the number of images
sample : for accessing split 3 of image 40 : [:,:,3,40]
I already try to using permut and reshape but not successful
here is my code
nCol = 10;
nRow = 4;
K=dir(p);
Len=length(K);
for i=3:Len
x1=imread(strcat(p,'\',K(i).name));
[m,n,d1]=size(x1);
if d1==1
x=double(x1);
else
x=double(rgb2gray(x1));
end
x=imresize(x,NN);
%% determined width and height of divided matrix %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
m = size(x,1)/nRow;
n = size(x,2)/nCol;
T = permute(reshape(permute(reshape(x, size(x, 1), n, []), [2 1 3]), n, m, []), [2 1 3]);
Im=[Im T(:,:,:,i-2)];
end
any idea would be appreciated.
reshape picks elements in column major ordering so you might have to write convoluted code to get it to work. Rather than going the way of using permute and reshape to create 4D matrices and potentially running into an out of memory issue I would advice the use of mat2cell to split your matrix into a cell array because mat2cell splits a matrix like you would want to split an image.
Here I show an example with an image
RGB = imread('peppers.png');
x = rgb2gray(RGB); % x is a 384 x 512 matrix, we want to split in 3 rows and 2 columns
x2 = mat2cell(x,384*ones(3,1)/3,512*ones(2,1)/2); % 2D cell array, each cell holds a part of the image
imshow(x2{1,1}) % Top left part of the image
You could loop over all your images and create a 3D cell array where each layer in the array represents each image split into pieces. I would suggest to preallocate you array and assign the matrix in the correct layer within the loop rather than incrementally increasing the size of your matrix.
Also there seems to be an Image processing toolbox specific function to do what you are trying to : Check this : How to divide an image into blocks in MATLAB?
I have a n channel image and I have a 100x2 matrix of points (in my case n is 20 but perhaps it is more clear to think of this as a 3 channel image). I need to sample the image at each point and get an nx100 array of these image points.
I know how to do this with a for loop:
for j = 1:100
samples(j,:) = image(points(j,1),points(j,2),:);
end
How would I vectorize this? I have tried
samples = image(points);
but this gives 200 samples of 20 channels. And if I try
samples = image(points,:);
this gives me 200 samples of 4800 channels. Even
samples = image(points(:,1),points(:,2));
gives me 100 x 100 samples of 20 (one for each possible combination of x in X and y in Y)
A concise way to do this would be to reshape your image so that you force your image that was [nRows, nCols, nChannels] to be [nRows*nCols, nChannels]. Then you can convert your points array into a linear index (using sub2ind) which will correspond to the new "combined" row index. Then to grab all channels, you can simply use the colon operator (:) for the second dimension which now represents the channels.
% Determine the new row index that will correspond to each point after we reshape it
sz = size(image);
inds = sub2ind(sz([1, 2]), points(:,2), points(:,1));
% Do the reshaping (i.e. flatten the first two dimensions)
reshaped_image = reshape(image, [], size(image, 3));
% Grab the pixels (rows) that we care about for all channels
newimage = reshaped_image(inds, :);
size(newimage)
100 20
Now you have the image sampled at the points you wanted for all channels.
I need to extract image patches of size s x s x 3 around specified 2D locations from an image (3 channels).
How can I do this efficiently without a for loop? I know I can extract one patch around (x,y) location as:
apatch = I(y-s/2:y+s/2, x-s/2:x+s/2, :)
How can I do this for many patches? I know I can use MATLAB's function blockproc but I can't specify the locations.
You can use im2col from the image processing toolbox to transform each pixel neighbourhood into a single column. The pixel neighbourhoods are selected such that each block is chose on a column-basis, which means that the blocks are constructed by traversing down the rows first, then proceeding to the next column and getting the neighbourhoods there.
You call im2col this way:
B = im2col(A, [M N]);
I'm assuming you'll want sliding / overlapping neighbourhoods and not distinct neighbourhoods, which are what is normally used when performing any kind of image filtering. A is your image and you want to find M x N pixel neighbourhoods transformed as columns. B would be the output where each neighbourhood is a single column and horizontally-tiled together. However, you'll probably want to handle the case where you want to grab pixel neighbourhoods along the borders of the image. In this case, you'll want to pad the image first. We're going to assume that M and N are odd to allow the padding to be easier. Specifically, you want to be sure that there are floor(M/2) rows padded on top of the image as well as the bottom as well as floor(N/2) columns padded to the left of the image as well as the right. As such, we should pad A first by using padarray. Let's assume that the border pixels will be replicated, which means that the padded rows and columns will simply be those grabbed from the top or bottom row, or the left and right column, depending on where we need to pad. Therefore:
Apad = padarray(A, floor([M N]/2), 'replicate');
For the next part, if you want to choose specify neighbourhoods, you can use sub2ind to convert your 2D co-ordinates into linear indices so you can select the right columns to get the right pixel blocks. However, because you have a colour image, you'll want to perform im2col on each colour channel. Unfortunately, im2col only works on grayscale images, and so you'd have to repeat this for each channel in your image.
As such, to get ready for patch sampling, do something like this:
B = arrayfun(#(x) im2col(Apad(:,:,x), [M N]), 1:size(A,3), 'uni', 0);
B = cat(3, B{:});
The above code will create a 3D version of im2col, where each 3D slice would be what im2col produces for each colour channel. Now, we can use sub2ind to convert your (x,y) co-ordinates into linear indices so that we can choose which pixel neighbourhoods we want. Therefore, assuming your positions are stored in vectors x and y, you would do something like this:
%// Generate linear indices
ind = sub2ind([size(A,1) size(A,2)], y, x);
%// Select neighbourhoods
%// Should be shaped as a MN x len(ind) x 3 matrix
neigh = B(:,ind,:);
%// Create cell arrays for each patch
patches = arrayfun(#(x) reshape(B(:,x,:), [M N 3]), 1:numel(ind), 'uni', 0);
patches will be a cell array where each element contains your desired patch at each location of (x,y) that you specify. Therefore, patches{1} would be the patch located at (x(1), y(1)), patches{2} would be the patch located at (x(2), y(2)), etc. For your copying and pasting pleasure, this is what we have:
%// Define image, M and N here
%//...
%//...
Apad = padarray(A, floor([M N]/2), 'replicate');
B = arrayfun(#(x) im2col(Apad(:,:,x), [M N]), 1:size(A,3), 'uni', 0);
B = cat(3, B{:});
ind = sub2ind([size(A,1) size(A,2)], y, x);
neigh = B(:,ind,:);
patches = arrayfun(#(x) reshape(neigh(:,x,:), [M N 3]), 1:numel(ind), 'uni', 0);
As unexpected as this may seem, but for me the naive for-loop is actually the fastest. This might depend on your version of MATLAB though, as with newer versions they keep on improving the JIT compiler.
Common data:
A = rand(30, 30, 3); % Image
I = [5,2,3,21,24]; % I = y
J = [3,7,5,20,22]; % J = x
s = 3; % Block size
Naive approach: (faster than im2col and arrayfun!)
Patches = cell(size(I));
steps = -(s-1)/2:(s-1)/2;
for k = 1:numel(Patches);
Patches{k} = A(I(k)+steps, ...
J(k)+steps, ...
:);
end
Approach using arrayfun: (slower than the loop)
steps = -(s-1)/2:(s-1)/2;
Patches = arrayfun(#(ii,jj) A(ii+steps,jj+steps,:), I, J, 'UniformOutput', false);
I have two matrices A and B. The size of A is 200*1000 double (here: 1000 represents 1000 different features). Matrix A belongs to group 1, where I use ones(200,1) as the label vector. The size of B is also 200*1000 double (here: 1000 also represents 1000 different features). Matrix B belongs to group 2, where I use -1*ones(200,1) as the label vector.
My question is how do I visualize matrices A and B so that I can clearly distinguish them based on the given groups?
I'm assuming each sample in your matrices A and B is determined by a row in either matrix. If I understand you correctly, you want to draw a series of 1000-dimensional vectors, which is impossible. We can't physically visualize anything beyond three dimensions.
As such, what I suggest you do is perform a dimensionality reduction to reduce your data so that each input is reduced to either 2 or 3 dimensions. Once you reduce your data, you can plot them normally and assign a different marker to each point, depending on what group they belonged to.
If you want to achieve this in MATLAB, use Principal Components Analysis, specifically the pca function in MATLAB, that calculates the residuals and the reprojected samples if you were to reproject them onto a lower dimensionality. I'm assuming you have the Statistics Toolbox... if you don't, then sorry this won't work.
Specifically, given your matrices A and B, you would do this:
[coeffA, scoreA] = pca(A);
[coeffB, scoreB] = pca(B);
numDimensions = 2;
scoreAred = scoreA(:,1:numDimensions);
scoreBred = scoreB(:,1:numDimensions);
The second output of pca gives you reprojected values and so you simply have to determine how many dimensions you want by extracting the first N columns, where N is the desired number of dimensions you want.
I chose 2 for now, and we can see what it looks like in 3 dimensions after. Once we have what we need for 2 dimensions, it's just a matter of plotting:
plot(scoreAred(:,1), scoreAred(:,2), 'rx', scoreBred(:,1), scoreBred(:,2), 'bo');
This will produce a plot where the samples from matrix A are with red crosses while the samples from matrix B are with blue circles.
Here's a sample run given completely random data:
rng(123); %// Set seed for reproducibility
A = rand(200,1000); B = rand(200,1000); %// Generate random data
%// Code as before
[coeffA, scoreA] = pca(A);
[coeffB, scoreB] = pca(B);
numDimensions = 2;
scoreAred = scoreA(:,1:numDimensions);
scoreBred = scoreB(:,1:numDimensions);
%// Plot the data
plot(scoreAred(:,1), scoreAred(:,2), 'rx', scoreBred(:,1), scoreBred(:,2), 'bo');
We get this:
If you want three dimensions, simply change numDimensions = 3, then change the plot code to use plot3:
plot3(scoreAred(:,1), scoreAred(:,2), scoreAred(:,3), 'rx', scoreBred(:,1), scoreBred(:,2), scoreBred(:,3), 'bo');
grid;
With those changes, this is what we get:
I try to divide the image as same size grids and get the response of a filter over those grids. Each response matrix for each grid need to be obtained as separeate. For instance if I am filtering and image in size 500x500 with grid size 100x100 than I need to obtain 5*5 = 25 different response matrices in the size of 100x100. How could I do it at Matlab?
I 've tried blockproc but it does not give separate responses for each image grid instead it grids the image and run the filters on and gives even large response vector. Here is the code I used for blockproc
fun = #(x) imfilter(x.data,filter,'conv');
img_res=blockproc(img,[100 100],fun,'UseParallel',1,'TrimBorder',1,'PadPartialBlocks',1);
Ho can I do what I proposed? Any suggestion?
Here is what I did
% step 1 divide into blocks
szM = size(image)
nb = szM ./ grid_size % number of blocks in each dimension
C = mat2cell(image,repmat(grid_size(1),1,nb(1)), repmat(grid_size(2),1,nb(2)))
% step 2: do something for each block (here MIN)
C2 = cellfun(#(x) min(x(:)), C, 'un', 0)
M2 = cell2mat(C2)
