Bases: EuDXDirectionGetter

__init__()

peak_directions_nl

dipy.direction.peaks.peak_directions_nl(sphere_eval, relative_peak_threshold=0.25, min_separation_angle=25, sphere=<dipy.core.sphere.HemiSphere object>, xtol=1e-07)

Non Linear Direction Finder.

Parameters

sphere_evalcallable

A function which can be evaluated on a sphere.

relative_peak_thresholdfloat

Only return peaks greater than relative_peak_threshold * m where m is the largest peak.

min_separation_anglefloat in [0, 90]

The minimum distance between directions. If two peaks are too close only the larger of the two is returned.

sphereSphere

A discrete Sphere. The points on the sphere will be used for initial estimate of maximums.

xtolfloat

Relative tolerance for optimization.

Returns

directionsarray (N, 3)

Points on the sphere corresponding to N local maxima on the sphere.

valuesarray (N,)

Value of sphere_eval at each point on directions.

peak_directions

dipy.direction.peaks.peak_directions(odf, sphere, relative_peak_threshold=0.5, min_separation_angle=25, is_symmetric=True)

Get the directions of odf peaks.

Peaks are defined as points on the odf that are greater than at least one neighbor and greater than or equal to all neighbors. Peaks are sorted in descending order by their values then filtered based on their relative size and spacing on the sphere. An odf may have 0 peaks, for example if the odf is perfectly isotropic.

Parameters

odf1d ndarray

The odf function evaluated on the vertices of sphere

sphereSphere

The Sphere providing discrete directions for evaluation.

relative_peak_thresholdfloat in [0., 1.]

Only peaks greater than min + relative_peak_threshold * scale are kept, where min = max(0, odf.min()) and scale = odf.max() - min.

min_separation_anglefloat in [0, 90]

The minimum distance between directions. If two peaks are too close only the larger of the two is returned.

is_symmetricbool, optional

If True, v is considered equal to -v.

Returns

directions(N, 3) ndarray

N vertices for sphere, one for each peak

values(N,) ndarray

peak values

indices(N,) ndarray

peak indices of the directions on the sphere

Notes

If the odf has any negative values, they will be clipped to zeros.

peaks_from_model

dipy.direction.peaks.peaks_from_model(model, data, sphere, relative_peak_threshold, min_separation_angle, mask=None, return_odf=False, return_sh=True, gfa_thr=0, normalize_peaks=False, sh_order=8, sh_basis_type=None, npeaks=5, B=None, invB=None, parallel=False, num_processes=None)

Fit the model to data and computes peaks and metrics

Parameters

modela model instance

model will be used to fit the data.

datandarray

Diffusion data.

sphereSphere

The Sphere providing discrete directions for evaluation.

relative_peak_thresholdfloat

Only return peaks greater than relative_peak_threshold * m where m is the largest peak.

min_separation_anglefloat in [0, 90] The minimum distance between

directions. If two peaks are too close only the larger of the two is returned.

maskarray, optional

If mask is provided, voxels that are False in mask are skipped and no peaks are returned.

return_odfbool

If True, the odfs are returned.

return_shbool

If True, the odf as spherical harmonics coefficients is returned

gfa_thrfloat

Voxels with gfa less than gfa_thr are skipped, no peaks are returned.

normalize_peaksbool

If true, all peak values are calculated relative to max(odf).

sh_orderint, optional

Maximum SH order in the SH fit. For sh_order, there will be (sh_order + 1) * (sh_order + 2) / 2 SH coefficients (default 8).

sh_basis_type{None, ‘tournier07’, ‘descoteaux07’}

None for the default DIPY basis, tournier07 for the Tournier 2007 [2] basis, and descoteaux07 for the Descoteaux 2007 [1] basis (None defaults to descoteaux07).

npeaksint

Maximum number of peaks found (default 5 peaks).

Bndarray, optional

Matrix that transforms spherical harmonics to spherical function sf = np.dot(sh, B).

invBndarray, optional

Inverse of B.

parallel: bool

If True, use multiprocessing to compute peaks and metric (default False). Temporary files are saved in the default temporary directory of the system. It can be changed using import tempfile and tempfile.tempdir = '/path/to/tempdir'.

num_processes: int, optional

If parallel is True, the number of subprocesses to use (default multiprocessing.cpu_count()). If < 0 the maximal number of cores minus num_processes + 1 is used (enter -1 to use as many cores as possible). 0 raises an error.

Returns

pamPeaksAndMetrics

An object with gfa, peak_directions, peak_values, peak_indices, odf, shm_coeffs as attributes
