assert_array_equal

dipy.segment.benchmarks.bench_quickbundles.assert_array_equal(x, y, err_msg='', verbose=True)

Raises an AssertionError if two array_like objects are not equal.

Given two array_like objects, check that the shape is equal and all elements of these objects are equal. An exception is raised at shape mismatch or conflicting values. In contrast to the standard usage in numpy, NaNs are compared like numbers, no assertion is raised if both objects have NaNs in the same positions.

The usual caution for verifying equality with floating point numbers is advised.

Parameters:
x : array_like

The actual object to check.

y : array_like

The desired, expected object.

err_msg : str, optional

The error message to be printed in case of failure.

verbose : bool, optional

If True, the conflicting values are appended to the error message.

Raises:
AssertionError

If actual and desired objects are not equal.

See also

assert_allclose
Compare two array_like objects for equality with desired relative and/or absolute precision.

assert_array_almost_equal_nulp, assert_array_max_ulp, assert_equal

Examples

The first assert does not raise an exception:

>>> np.testing.assert_array_equal([1.0,2.33333,np.nan],
...                               [np.exp(0),2.33333, np.nan])

Assert fails with numerical inprecision with floats:

>>> np.testing.assert_array_equal([1.0,np.pi,np.nan],
...                               [1, np.sqrt(np.pi)**2, np.nan])
...
<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>:
AssertionError:
Arrays are not equal

(mismatch 50.0%)
 x: array([ 1.        ,  3.14159265,         NaN])
 y: array([ 1.        ,  3.14159265,         NaN])

Use assert_allclose or one of the nulp (number of floating point values) functions for these cases instead:

>>> np.testing.assert_allclose([1.0,np.pi,np.nan],
...                            [1, np.sqrt(np.pi)**2, np.nan],
...                            rtol=1e-10, atol=0)

Parameters:
actual : array_like

The object to check.

desired : array_like

The expected object.

err_msg : str, optional

The error message to be printed in case of failure.

verbose : bool, optional

If True, the conflicting values are appended to the error message.

Raises:

If actual and desired are not equal.

Examples

>>> np.testing.assert_equal([4,5], [4,6])
...
<type 'exceptions.AssertionError'>:
Items are not equal:
item=1
 ACTUAL: 5
 DESIRED: 6

StreamlineLinearRegistration

class dipy.segment.bundles.StreamlineLinearRegistration(metric=None, x0='rigid', method='L-BFGS-B', bounds=None, verbose=False, options=None, evolution=False, num_threads=None)

Bases: object

Methods

optimize(static, moving[, mat]) Find the minimum of the provided metric.
__init__(metric=None, x0='rigid', method='L-BFGS-B', bounds=None, verbose=False, options=None, evolution=False, num_threads=None)

Linear registration of 2 sets of streamlines [Garyfallidis15].

Parameters:
metric : StreamlineDistanceMetric,

If None and fast is False then the BMD distance is used. If fast is True then a faster implementation of BMD is used. Otherwise, use the given distance metric.

x0 : array or int or str

Initial parametrization for the optimization.

If 1D array with:

a) 6 elements then only rigid registration is performed with the 3 first elements for translation and 3 for rotation. b) 7 elements also isotropic scaling is performed (similarity). c) 12 elements then translation, rotation (in degrees), scaling and shearing is performed (affine).

Here is an example of x0 with 12 elements: x0=np.array([0, 10, 0, 40, 0, 0, 2., 1.5, 1, 0.1, -0.5, 0])

This has translation (0, 10, 0), rotation (40, 0, 0) in degrees, scaling (2., 1.5, 1) and shearing (0.1, -0.5, 0).

If int:
  1. 6
    x0 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
  2. 7
    x0 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.])
  3. 12
    x0 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1., 1., 1, 0, 0, 0])
If str:
  1. “rigid”
    x0 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
  2. “similarity”
    x0 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.])
  3. “affine”
    x0 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1., 1., 1, 0, 0, 0])
method : str,

‘L_BFGS_B’ or ‘Powell’ optimizers can be used. Default is ‘L_BFGS_B’.

bounds : list of tuples or None,

If method == ‘L_BFGS_B’ then we can use bounded optimization. For example for the six parameters of rigid rotation we can set the bounds = [(-30, 30), (-30, 30), (-30, 30),

(-45, 45), (-45, 45), (-45, 45)]

That means that we have set the bounds for the three translations and three rotation axes (in degrees).

verbose : bool,

If True then information about the optimization is shown.

options : None or dict,

Extra options to be used with the selected method.

evolution : boolean

If True save the transformation for each iteration of the optimizer. Default is False. Supported only with Scipy >= 0.11.

num_threads : int

Number of threads. If None (default) then all available threads will be used. Only metrics using OpenMP will use this variable.

afq_profile

dipy.segment.bundles.afq_profile(data, bundle, affine=None, n_points=100, orient_by=None, weights=None, **weights_kwarg)

Calculates a summarized profile of data for a bundle or tract along its length.

Follows the approach outlined in [Yeatman2012].

Parameters:
data : 3D volume

The statistic to sample with the streamlines.

bundle : StreamLines class instance
The collection of streamlines (possibly already resampled into an array

for each to have the same length) with which we are resampling. See Note below about orienting the streamlines.

affine: 4-by-4 array, optional.

A transformation associated with the streamlines in the bundle. Default: identity.

apply_affine

dipy.segment.bundles.apply_affine(aff, pts)

Apply affine matrix aff to points pts

Returns result of application of aff to the right of pts. The coordinate dimension of pts should be the last.

For the 3D case, aff will be shape (4,4) and pts will have final axis length 3 - maybe it will just be N by 3. The return value is the transformed points, in this case:

res = np.dot(aff[:3,:3], pts.T) + aff[:3,3:4]
transformed_pts = res.T

This routine is more general than 3D, in that aff can have any shape (N,N), and pts can have any shape, as long as the last dimension is for the coordinates, and is therefore length N-1.

Parameters:
aff : (N, N) array-like

Homogenous affine, for 3D points, will be 4 by 4. Contrary to first appearance, the affine will be applied on the left of pts.

pts : (…, N-1) array-like

Points, where the last dimension contains the coordinates of each point. For 3D, the last dimension will be length 3.

Returns:
transformed_pts : (…, N-1) array

transformed points

Examples

>>> aff = np.array([[0,2,0,10],[3,0,0,11],[0,0,4,12],[0,0,0,1]])
>>> pts = np.array([[1,2,3],[2,3,4],[4,5,6],[6,7,8]])
>>> apply_affine(aff, pts) 
array([[14, 14, 24],
       [16, 17, 28],
       [20, 23, 36],
       [24, 29, 44]]...)

Just to show that in the simple 3D case, it is equivalent to:

>>> (np.dot(aff[:3,:3], pts.T) + aff[:3,3:4]).T 
array([[14, 14, 24],
       [16, 17, 28],
       [20, 23, 36],
       [24, 29, 44]]...)

But pts can be a more complicated shape:

>>> pts = pts.reshape((2,2,3))
>>> apply_affine(aff, pts) 
array([[[14, 14, 24],
        [16, 17, 28]],

       [[20, 23, 36],
        [24, 29, 44]]]...)

Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch. Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.

values_from_volume

dipy.segment.bundles.values_from_volume(data, streamlines, affine=None)

Extract values of a scalar/vector along each streamline from a volume.

Parameters:
data : 3D or 4D array

Scalar (for 3D) and vector (for 4D) values to be extracted. For 4D data, interpolation will be done on the 3 spatial dimensions in each volume.

streamlines : ndarray or list

If array, of shape (n_streamlines, n_nodes, 3) If list, len(n_streamlines) with (n_nodes, 3) array in each element of the list.

affine : ndarray, shape (4, 4)

Affine transformation from voxels (image coordinates) to streamlines. Default: identity. For example, if no affine is provided and the first coordinate of the first streamline is [1, 0, 0], data[1, 0, 0] would be returned as the value for that streamline coordinate

Notes

Values are extracted from the image based on the 3D coordinates of the nodes that comprise the points in the streamline, without any interpolation into segments between the nodes. Using this function with streamlines that have been resampled into a very small number of nodes will result in very few values.

ABCMeta

class dipy.segment.clustering.ABCMeta

Methods

__call__($self, /, *args, **kwargs) Call self as a function.
mro() return a type’s method resolution order
register(subclass) Register a virtual subclass of an ABC.
__init__($self, /, *args, **kwargs)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

register(subclass)

Bases: dipy.segment.clustering.Clustering

Clusters streamlines using QuickBundles [Garyfallidis12].

Given a list of streamlines, the QuickBundles algorithm sequentially assigns each streamline to its closest bundle in \(\mathcal{O}(Nk)\) where \(N\) is the number of streamlines and \(k\) is the final number of bundles. If for a given streamline its closest bundle is farther than threshold, a new bundle is created and the streamline is assigned to it except if the number of bundles has already exceeded max_nb_clusters.

Parameters:

abstractmethod

dipy.segment.clustering.abstractmethod(funcobj)

A decorator indicating abstract methods.

Requires that the metaclass is ABCMeta or derived from it. A class that has a metaclass derived from ABCMeta cannot be instantiated unless all of its abstract methods are overridden. The abstract methods can be called using any of the normal ‘super’ call mechanisms.

Usage:

class C(metaclass=ABCMeta):

@abstractmethod def my_abstract_method(self, …):

nbytes

dipy.segment.clustering.nbytes(streamlines)

qbx_and_merge

dipy.segment.clustering.qbx_and_merge(streamlines, thresholds, nb_pts=20, select_randomly=None, rng=None, verbose=True)

Run QuickBundlesX and then run again on the centroids of the last layer

Running again QuickBundles at a layer has the effect of merging some of the clusters that maybe originally devided because of branching. This function help obtain a result at a QuickBundles quality but with QuickBundlesX speed. The merging phase has low cost because it is applied only on the centroids rather than the entire dataset.

Parameters:
streamlines : Streamlines
thresholds : sequence

List of distance thresholds for QuickBundlesX.

nb_pts : int

Number of points for discretizing each streamline

select_randomly : int

Randomly select a specific number of streamlines. If None all the streamlines are used.

rng : RandomState

If None then RandomState is initialized internally.

verbose : bool

If True print information in stdout.

Returns:
clusters : obj

Contains the clusters of the last layer of QuickBundlesX after merging.

set_number_of_points

dipy.segment.clustering.set_number_of_points()
Change the number of points of streamlines
(either by downsampling or upsampling)

Change the number of points of streamlines in order to obtain nb_points-1 segments of equal length. Points of streamlines will be modified along the curve.

Parameters:
streamlines : ndarray or a list or dipy.tracking.Streamlines

If ndarray, must have shape (N,3) where N is the number of points of the streamline. If list, each item must be ndarray shape (Ni,3) where Ni is the number of points of streamline i. If dipy.tracking.Streamlines, its common_shape must be 3.

nb_points : int

integer representing number of points wanted along the curve.

Returns:
new_streamlines : ndarray or a list or dipy.tracking.Streamlines

Results of the downsampling or upsampling process.

Examples

>>> from dipy.tracking.streamline import set_number_of_points
>>> import numpy as np

One streamline, a semi-circle:

>>> theta = np.pi*np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
>>> x = np.cos(theta)
>>> y = np.sin(theta)
>>> z = 0 * x
>>> streamline = np.vstack((x, y, z)).T
>>> modified_streamline = set_number_of_points(streamline, 3)
>>> len(modified_streamline)
3

Multiple streamlines:

>>> streamlines = [streamline, streamline[::2]]
>>> new_streamlines = set_number_of_points(streamlines, 10)
>>> [len(s) for s in streamlines]
[100, 50]
>>> [len(s) for s in new_streamlines]
[10, 10]

time

dipy.segment.clustering.time() → floating point number

Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch. Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.

applymask

dipy.segment.mask.applymask(vol, mask)

Mask vol with mask.

Parameters:
vol : ndarray

Array with \(V\) dimensions

mask : ndarray

Binary mask. Has \(M\) dimensions where \(M <= V\). When \(M < V\), we append \(V - M\) dimensions with axis length 1 to mask so that mask will broadcast against vol. In the typical case vol can be 4D, mask can be 3D, and we append a 1 to the mask shape which (via numpy broadcasting) has the effect of appling the 3D mask to each 3D slice in vol (vol[..., 0] to vol[..., -1).

Returns:
masked_vol : ndarray

vol multiplied by mask where mask may have been extended to match extra dimensions in vol

binary_dilation

dipy.segment.mask.binary_dilation(input, structure=None, iterations=1, mask=None, output=None, border_value=0, origin=0, brute_force=False)

Multi-dimensional binary dilation with the given structuring element.

Parameters:
input : array_like

Binary array_like to be dilated. Non-zero (True) elements form the subset to be dilated.

structure : array_like, optional

Structuring element used for the dilation. Non-zero elements are considered True. If no structuring element is provided an element is generated with a square connectivity equal to one.

iterations : {int, float}, optional

The dilation is repeated iterations times (one, by default). If iterations is less than 1, the dilation is repeated until the result does not change anymore.

mask : array_like, optional

If a mask is given, only those elements with a True value at the corresponding mask element are modified at each iteration.

output : ndarray, optional

Array of the same shape as input, into which the output is placed. By default, a new array is created.

border_value : int (cast to 0 or 1), optional

Value at the border in the output array.

origin : int or tuple of ints, optional

Placement of the filter, by default 0.

brute_force : boolean, optional

Memory condition: if False, only the pixels whose value was changed in the last iteration are tracked as candidates to be updated (dilated) in the current iteration; if True all pixels are considered as candidates for dilation, regardless of what happened in the previous iteration. False by default.

Returns:
binary_dilation : ndarray of bools

Dilation of the input by the structuring element.

Notes

Dilation [1] is a mathematical morphology operation [2] that uses a structuring element for expanding the shapes in an image. The binary dilation of an image by a structuring element is the locus of the points covered by the structuring element, when its center lies within the non-zero points of the image.

connectivity : int

connectivity determines which elements of the output array belong to the structure, i.e. are considered as neighbors of the central element.

Notes

generate_binary_structure can only create structuring elements with dimensions equal to 3, i.e. minimal dimensions. For larger structuring elements, that are useful e.g. for eroding large objects, one may either use iterate_structure, or create directly custom arrays with numpy functions such as numpy.ones.

median_filter

dipy.segment.mask.median_filter(input, size=None, footprint=None, output=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0, origin=0)

Calculate a multidimensional median filter.

Parameters:
input : array_like

The input array.

size : scalar or tuple, optional

See footprint, below. Ignored if footprint is given.

footprint : array, optional

Either size or footprint must be defined. size gives the shape that is taken from the input array, at every element position, to define the input to the filter function. footprint is a boolean array that specifies (implicitly) a shape, but also which of the elements within this shape will get passed to the filter function. Thus size=(n,m) is equivalent to footprint=np.ones((n,m)). We adjust size to the number of dimensions of the input array, so that, if the input array is shape (10,10,10), and size is 2, then the actual size used is (2,2,2). When footprint is given, size is ignored.

output : array or dtype, optional

The array in which to place the output, or the dtype of the returned array. By default an array of the same dtype as input will be created.

mode : str or sequence, optional

The mode parameter determines how the input array is extended when the filter overlaps a border. By passing a sequence of modes with length equal to the number of dimensions of the input array, different modes can be specified along each axis. Default value is ‘reflect’. The valid values and their behavior is as follows:

‘reflect’ (d c b a | a b c d | d c b a)

The input is extended by reflecting about the edge of the last pixel.

‘constant’ (k k k k | a b c d | k k k k)

The input is extended by filling all values beyond the edge with the same constant value, defined by the cval parameter.

‘nearest’ (a a a a | a b c d | d d d d)

The input is extended by replicating the last pixel.

‘mirror’ (d c b | a b c d | c b a)

The input is extended by reflecting about the center of the last pixel.

‘wrap’ (a b c d | a b c d | a b c d)

The input is extended by wrapping around to the opposite edge.

cval : scalar, optional

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

origin : int or sequence, optional

Controls the placement of the filter on the input array’s pixels. A value of 0 (the default) centers the filter over the pixel, with positive values shifting the filter to the left, and negative ones to the right. By passing a sequence of origins with length equal to the number of dimensions of the input array, different shifts can be specified along each axis.

Returns:
median_filter : ndarray

Filtered array. Has the same shape as input.

Examples

>>> from scipy import ndimage, misc
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> plt.gray()  # show the filtered result in grayscale
>>> ax1 = fig.add_subplot(121)  # left side
>>> ax2 = fig.add_subplot(122)  # right side
>>> ascent = misc.ascent()
>>> result = ndimage.median_filter(ascent, size=20)
>>> ax1.imshow(ascent)
>>> ax2.imshow(result)
>>> plt.show()

median_otsu

dipy.segment.mask.median_otsu(input_volume, median_radius=4, numpass=4, autocrop=False, vol_idx=None, dilate=None)

Simple brain extraction tool method for images from DWI data.

It uses a median filter smoothing of the input_volumes vol_idx and an automatic histogram Otsu thresholding technique, hence the name median_otsu.

This function is inspired from Mrtrix’s bet which has default values median_radius=3, numpass=2. However, from tests on multiple 1.5T and 3T data from GE, Philips, Siemens, the most robust choice is median_radius=4, numpass=4.

Parameters:
input_volume : ndarray

ndarray of the brain volume

median_radius : int

Radius (in voxels) of the applied median filter (default: 4).

numpass: int

Number of pass of the median filter (default: 4).

autocrop: bool, optional

if True, the masked input_volume will also be cropped using the bounding box defined by the masked data. Should be on if DWI is upsampled to 1x1x1 resolution. (default: False).

vol_idx : None or array, optional

1D array representing indices of axis=3 of a 4D input_volume None (the default) corresponds to (0,) (assumes first volume in 4D array).

dilate : None or int, optional

number of iterations for binary dilation

Returns:
maskedvolume : ndarray

Masked input_volume

mask : 3D ndarray

The binary brain mask

nclasses : int,

number of tissue classes

Returns:
PLN : ndarray,

4D probability map of the label given the neighborhood of the voxel.

TissueClassifierHMRF

class dipy.segment.tissue.TissueClassifierHMRF(save_history=False, verbose=True)

Bases: object

This class contains the methods for tissue classification using the Markov Random Fields modeling approach

Methods

classify(image, nclasses, beta[, tolerance, …]) This method uses the Maximum a posteriori - Markov Random Field approach for segmentation by using the Iterative Conditional Modes and Expectation Maximization to estimate the parameters.
__init__(save_history=False, verbose=True)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

classify(image, nclasses, beta, tolerance=None, max_iter=None)

This method uses the Maximum a posteriori - Markov Random Field approach for segmentation by using the Iterative Conditional Modes and Expectation Maximization to estimate the parameters.

Parameters:
image : ndarray,

3D structural image.

nclasses : int,

number of desired classes.

beta : float,

smoothing parameter, the higher this number the smoother the output will be.

tolerance: float,

value that defines the percentage of change tolerated to prevent the ICM loop to stop. Default is 1e-05.

max_iter : float,

fixed number of desired iterations. Default is 100. If the user only specifies this parameter, the tolerance value will not be considered. If none of these two parameters

Returns:
initial_segmentation : ndarray,

3D segmented image with all tissue types specified in nclasses.

final_segmentation : ndarray,

3D final refined segmentation containing all tissue types.

PVE : ndarray,

3D probability map of each tissue type.

add_noise

dipy.segment.tissue.add_noise(signal, snr, S0, noise_type='rician')

Add noise of specified distribution to the signal from a single voxel.

Parameters:
signal : 1-d ndarray

The signal in the voxel.

snr : float

The desired signal-to-noise ratio. (See notes below.) If snr is None, return the signal as-is.

S0 : float

Reference signal for specifying snr.

noise_type : string, optional

The distribution of noise added. Can be either ‘gaussian’ for Gaussian distributed noise, ‘rician’ for Rice-distributed noise (default) or ‘rayleigh’ for a Rayleigh distribution.

Returns:
signal : array, same shape as the input

Signal with added noise.

Notes

SNR is defined here, following [1], as S0 / sigma, where sigma is the standard deviation of the two Gaussian distributions forming the real and imaginary components of the Rician noise distribution (see [2]).
