Examples

The following sections will contain both the example programs given in the lab as well as the image or images they produce. You should still type these into your own version of Python to make sure you are getting the same answers. These are provided so you can compare what you get with what we think you should get.

Example 1: Black & White Images

a = np.array([
    [1, 0, 1, 0, 0],
    [1, 0, 1, 0, 1],
    [1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
    [1, 0, 1, 0, 1],
    [1, 0, 1, 0, 1]])
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
ax.imshow(a, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
ax.set_axis_off()
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E1Plot1.png")
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=2, clear=True)
aplot2 = ax.imshow(a, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
fig.colorbar(aplot2)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E1Plot2.png")

Example 2: Simple Grayscale Images

bx, by = np.meshgrid(range(255), range(255))
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
aplot1 = ax.imshow(bx, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
fig.colorbar(aplot1)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E2Plot1.png")
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=2, clear=True)
aplot2 = ax.imshow(by, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
fig.colorbar(aplot2)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E2Plot1.png")

Example 3: Less Simple Grayscale Images

x, y = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 201),
                   np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 201));
z = np.cos(x)*np.cos(2*y);
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
zplot = ax.imshow(z, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
ax.axis('equal')
fig.colorbar(zplot)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E3Plot1.png")

Notice how the use of ax.axis('equal') made the image look like a square since it is 201x201 but also caused the display to be filled with whitespace as a result of the figure size versus the image size.

Example 4: Building an Image

rad = 100
delta = 10
x, y =np.meshgrid(range((-3*rad-delta),(3*rad+delta)+1),
                  range((-3*rad-delta),(3*rad+delta)+1))
rows, cols = x.shape
dist = lambda x, y, xc, yc: np.sqrt((x-xc)**2+(y-yc)**2)
venn_img = np.zeros((rows, cols, 3));
venn_img[:,:,0] = (dist(x, y, rad*np.cos(0), rad*np.sin(0)) < 2*rad);
venn_img[:,:,1] = (dist(x, y, rad*np.cos(2*np.pi/3), rad*np.sin(2*np.pi/3)) < 2*rad);
venn_img[:,:,2] = (dist(x, y, rad*np.cos(4*np.pi/3), rad*np.sin(4*np.pi/3)) < 2*rad);
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
ax.imshow(venn_img)
ax.axis('equal')
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E4Plot1.png")

Example 5: Exploring Colors

nr = 256
nc = 256
x, y = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(0, 1, nc),
                   np.linspace(0, 1, nr))
other = 0.5;
palette = np.zeros((nr, nc, 3))
palette[:,:,0] = x
palette[:,:,1] = y
palette[:,:,2] = other
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
ax.imshow(palette)
ax.axis('equal')
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E5Plot1.png")

Example 6: 1D Convolution

x = np.array([1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, -1])
h = np.array([1, -1])
y = sig.convolve(x, h)
print("x: {}\nh: {}\ny: {}".format(x, h, y))

x: [ 1  2  4  8  7  5 -1]
h: [ 1 -1]
y: [ 1  1  2  4 -1 -2 -6  1]

Example 7: 1D Convolution Using "same"

x = np.array([1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, -1])
h = np.array([1, -1])
y = sig.convolve(x, h, "same")
print("x: {}\nh: {}\ny: {}".format(x, h, y))

x: [ 1  2  4  8  7  5 -1]
h: [ 1 -1]
y: [ 1  1  2  4 -1 -2 -6]

Example 8: 11x11 Blurring

x = ski.data.coins()
h = np.ones((11, 11))/11**2;
y = sig.convolve2d(x, h, 'same');
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
aplot1 = ax.imshow(x, cmap=plt.cm.gray, vmin=0, vmax=255)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Original')
fig.colorbar(aplot1)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E8Plot1.png")
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=2, clear=True)
aplot2 = ax.imshow(y, cmap=plt.cm.gray, vmin=0, vmax=255)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Blurred')
fig.colorbar(aplot2)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E8Plot2.png")

Example 9: Make No Assumptions

x = np.array([1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, -1])
h = np.array([1, -1])
y = sig.convolve(x, h, "valid")
print("x: {}\nh: {}\ny: {}".format(x, h, y))

x: [ 1  2  4  8  7  5 -1]
h: [ 1 -1]
y: [ 1  2  4 -1 -2 -6]

Example 10: Basic Edge Detection and Display

x, y = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(-1, 1, 200),
                   np.linspace(-1, 1, 200));
z1 = (.7<np.sqrt(x**2+y**2)) * (np.sqrt(x**2+y**2)<.9)
z2 = (.3<np.sqrt(x**2+y**2)) * (np.sqrt(x**2+y**2)<.5)
zimg = 100*z1+200*z2;
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
aplot1 = ax.imshow(zimg, cmap=plt.cm.gray, vmin=0, vmax=255)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Original')
fig.colorbar(aplot1)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E9Plot1.png")

hx = np.array([[1, -1], [1, -1]])
edgex = sig.convolve2d(zimg, hx, 'valid')
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=2, clear=True)
aplot2 = ax.imshow(edgex, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Vertical Edges')
fig.colorbar(aplot2)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E9Plot2.png")

hy = np.array([[1, 1], [-1, -1]])
edgey = sig.convolve2d(zimg, hy, 'valid')
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=3, clear=True)
aplot3 = ax.imshow(edgey, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Horizontal Edges')
fig.colorbar(aplot3)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E9Plot3.png")

edges = np.sqrt(edgex**2 + edgey**2)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=4, clear=True)
aplot4 = ax.imshow(edges, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Edges')
fig.colorbar(aplot4)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E9Plot4.png")

Example 11: Chips!

For this example, save the image at right to a file called "amandajones_chips_unsplash.jpg" in the same folder as Python is running. This image comes from, Amanda Jones' Unsplash page and is free to use for non-commercial use.

import matplotlib.image as mpimg
from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap
img = mpimg.imread("amandajones_chips_unsplash.jpg")

fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=1, clear=True)
ax.imshow(img)
ax.axis('equal')
ax.set(title='Original')
fig.tight_layout()
fig.savefig("PS21DI1E11Plot1.png")
vals = np.linspace(0, 1, 256)
names = ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue']
for k in range(3):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=k+2, clear=True)
    aplot1 = ax.imshow(img[:,:,k], cmap=plt.cm.gray, vmin=0, vmax=255)
    ax.axis('equal')
    ax.set(title=names[k]+" as Gray")
    fig.colorbar(aplot1)
    fig.tight_layout()
    fig.savefig("PS21DI1E11Plot{}.png".format(k+2))
    
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=k+5, clear=True)
    mycmvals = np.zeros((256,4))
    mycmvals[:,k] = vals
    mycmvals[:,3] = 1
    mycm = ListedColormap(mycmvals)
    aplot2 = ax.imshow(img[:,:,k], cmap=mycm, vmin=0, vmax=255)
    ax.axis('equal')
    ax.set(title=names[k]+" as "+names[k])
