Note that the approximated polygon is always within the convex hull of the original polygon.
- Parameters:
- coords(K, 2) array
Coordinate array.
- tolerancefloat
Maximum distance from original points of polygon to approximated polygonal chain. If tolerance is 0, the original coordinate array is returned.
- Returns:
- coords(L, 2) array
Approximated polygonal chain where L <= K.

N-dimensional input image.
- block_sizearray_like or int
Array containing down-sampling integer factor along each axis. Default block_size is 2.
- funccallable
Function object which is used to calculate the return value for each local block. This function must implement an
axisparameter. Primary functions arenumpy.sum,numpy.min,numpy.max,numpy.meanandnumpy.median. See alsofunc_kwargs.- cvalfloat
Constant padding value if image is not perfectly divisible by the block size.
- func_kwargsdict
Keyword arguments passed to
func. Notably useful for passing dtype argument tonp.mean. Takes dictionary of inputs, e.g.:func_kwargs={'dtype': np.float16}).
- Returns:
- imagendarray
Down-sampled image with same number of dimensions as input image.
Examples
>>> from skimage.measure import block_reduce >>> image = np.arange(3*3*4).reshape(3, 3, 4) >>> image array([[[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]], [[12, 13, 14, 15], [16, 17, 18, 19], [20, 21, 22, 23]], [[24, 25, 26, 27], [28, 29, 30, 31], [32, 33, 34, 35]]]) >>> block_reduce(image, block_size=(3, 3, 1), func=np.mean) array([[[16., 17., 18., 19.]]]) >>> image_max1 = block_reduce(image, block_size=(1, 3, 4), func=np.max) >>> image_max1 array([[[11]], [[23]], [[35]]]) >>> image_max2 = block_reduce(image, block_size=(3, 1, 4), func=np.max) >>> image_max2 array([[[27], [31], [35]]])
- skimage.measure.blur_effect(image, h_size=11, channel_axis=None, reduce_func=<function max>)[source]#
Compute a metric that indicates the strength of blur in an image (0 for no blur, 1 for maximal blur).
- Parameters:
- imagendarray
RGB or grayscale nD image. The input image is converted to grayscale before computing the blur metric.
- h_sizeint, optional
Size of the re-blurring filter.
- channel_axisint or None, optional
If None, the image is assumed to be grayscale (single-channel). Otherwise, this parameter indicates which axis of the array corresponds to color channels.
- reduce_funccallable, optional
Function used to calculate the aggregation of blur metrics along all axes. If set to None, the entire list is returned, where the i-th element is the blur metric along the i-th axis.
- Returns:
- blurfloat (0 to 1) or list of floats
Blur metric: by default, the maximum of blur metrics along all axes.
Notes
h_sizemust keep the same value in order to compare results between images. Most of the time, the default size (11) is enough. This means that the metric can clearly discriminate blur up to an average 11x11 filter; if blur is higher, the metric still gives good results but its values tend towards an asymptote.References

- skimage.measure.euler_number(image, connectivity=None)[source]#
Calculate the Euler characteristic in binary image.
For 2D objects, the Euler number is the number of objects minus the number of holes. For 3D objects, the Euler number is obtained as the number of objects plus the number of holes, minus the number of tunnels, or loops.
- Parameters:
- image: (M, N[, P]) ndarray
Input image. If image is not binary, all values greater than zero are considered as the object.
- connectivityint, optional
Maximum number of orthogonal hops to consider a pixel/voxel as a neighbor. Accepted values are ranging from 1 to input.ndim. If
None, a full connectivity ofinput.ndimis used. 4 or 8 neighborhoods are defined for 2D images (connectivity 1 and 2, respectively). 6 or 26 neighborhoods are defined for 3D images, (connectivity 1 and 3, respectively). Connectivity 2 is not defined.
- Returns:
- euler_numberint
Euler characteristic of the set of all objects in the image.
Notes
The Euler characteristic is an integer number that describes the topology of the set of all objects in the input image. If object is 4-connected, then background is 8-connected, and conversely.
The computation of the Euler characteristic is based on an integral geometry formula in discretized space. In practice, a neighborhood configuration is constructed, and a LUT is applied for each configuration. The coefficients used are the ones of Ohser et al.
It can be useful to compute the Euler characteristic for several connectivities. A large relative difference between results for different connectivities suggests that the image resolution (with respect to the size of objects and holes) is too low.

- skimage.measure.find_contours(image, level=None, fully_connected='low', positive_orientation='low', *, mask=None)[source]#
Find iso-valued contours in a 2D array for a given level value.
Uses the “marching squares” method to compute the iso-valued contours of the input 2D array for a particular level value. Array values are linearly interpolated to provide better precision for the output contours.
- Parameters:
- image(M, N) ndarray of double
Input image in which to find contours.
- levelfloat, optional
Value along which to find contours in the array. By default, the level is set to (max(image) + min(image)) / 2
Changed in version 0.18: This parameter is now optional.
- fully_connectedstr, {‘low’, ‘high’}
Indicates whether array elements below the given level value are to be considered fully-connected (and hence elements above the value will only be face connected), or vice-versa. (See notes below for details.)
- positive_orientationstr, {‘low’, ‘high’}
Indicates whether the output contours will produce positively-oriented polygons around islands of low- or high-valued elements. If ‘low’ then contours will wind counter-clockwise around elements below the iso-value. Alternately, this means that low-valued elements are always on the left of the contour. (See below for details.)
- mask(M, N) ndarray of bool or None
A boolean mask, True where we want to draw contours. Note that NaN values are always excluded from the considered region (
maskis set toFalsewhereverarrayisNaN).
- Returns:
- contourslist of (K, 2) ndarrays
Each contour is a ndarray of
(row, column)coordinates along the contour.

Notes
The marching squares algorithm is a special case of the marching cubes algorithm [1]. A simple explanation is available here:
https://users.polytech.unice.fr/~lingrand/MarchingCubes/algo.html
There is a single ambiguous case in the marching squares algorithm: when a given
2 x 2-element square has two high-valued and two low-valued elements, each pair diagonally adjacent. (Where high- and low-valued is with respect to the contour value sought.) In this case, either the high-valued elements can be ‘connected together’ via a thin isthmus that separates the low-valued elements, or vice-versa. When elements are connected together across a diagonal, they are considered ‘fully connected’ (also known as ‘face+vertex-connected’ or ‘8-connected’). Only high-valued or low-valued elements can be fully-connected, the other set will be considered as ‘face-connected’ or ‘4-connected’. By default, low-valued elements are considered fully-connected; this can be altered with the ‘fully_connected’ parameter.Output contours are not guaranteed to be closed: contours which intersect the array edge or a masked-off region (either where mask is False or where array is NaN) will be left open. All other contours will be closed. (The closed-ness of a contours can be tested by checking whether the beginning point is the same as the end point.)
Contours are oriented. By default, array values lower than the contour value are to the left of the contour and values greater than the contour value are to the right. This means that contours will wind counter-clockwise (i.e. in ‘positive orientation’) around islands of low-valued pixels. This behavior can be altered with the ‘positive_orientation’ parameter.
The order of the contours in the output list is determined by the position of the smallest
x,y(in lexicographical order) coordinate in the contour. This is a side effect of how the input array is traversed, but can be relied upon.Warning
Array coordinates/values are assumed to refer to the center of the array element. Take a simple example input:
[0, 1]. The interpolated position of 0.5 in this array is midway between the 0-element (atx=0) and the 1-element (atx=1), and thus would fall atx=0.5.This means that to find reasonable contours, it is best to find contours midway between the expected “light” and “dark” values. In particular, given a binarized array, do not choose to find contours at the low or high value of the array. This will often yield degenerate contours, especially around structures that are a single array element wide. Instead, choose a middle value, as above.

Shape of the grid.
- verts(V, 2) array
Specify the V vertices of the polygon, sorted either clockwise or anti-clockwise. The first point may (but does not need to be) duplicated.
- binarize: bool
If
True, the output of the function is a boolean mask. Otherwise, it is a labeled array. The labels are: O - outside, 1 - inside, 2 - vertex, 3 - edge.
- Returns:
- mask(M, N) ndarray
If
binarizeis True, the output is a boolean mask. True means the corresponding pixel falls inside the polygon. Ifbinarizeis False, the output is a labeled array, with pixels having a label between 0 and 3. The meaning of the values is: O - outside, 1 - inside, 2 - vertex, 3 - edge.

Compute the inertia tensor of the input image.
- Parameters:
- imagearray
The input image.
- muarray, optional
The pre-computed central moments of
image. The inertia tensor computation requires the central moments of the image. If an application requires both the central moments and the inertia tensor (for example,skimage.measure.regionprops), then it is more efficient to pre-compute them and pass them to the inertia tensor call.- spacing: tuple of float, shape (ndim,)
The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.

Compute the eigenvalues of the inertia tensor of the image.
The inertia tensor measures covariance of the image intensity along the image axes. (See
inertia_tensor.) The relative magnitude of the eigenvalues of the tensor is thus a measure of the elongation of a (bright) object in the image.- Parameters:
- imagearray
The input image.
- muarray, optional

image.- Tarray, shape

Notes
Computing the eigenvalues requires the inertia tensor of the input image. This is much faster if the central moments (
mu) are provided, or, alternatively, one can provide the inertia tensor (T) directly.

- skimage.measure.manders_coloc_coeff(image0, image1_mask, mask=None)[source]#
Manders’ colocalization coefficient between two channels.
- Parameters:
- image0(M, N) ndarray
Image of channel A. All pixel values should be non-negative.
- image1_mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool
Binary mask with segmented regions of interest in channel B. Must have same dimensions as
image0.- mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional
Only
image0pixel values within this region of interest mask are included in the calculation. Must have same dimensions asimage0.
- Returns:
- mccfloat
Manders’ colocalization coefficient.
Notes
Manders’ Colocalization Coefficient (MCC) is the fraction of total intensity of a certain channel (channel A) that is within the segmented region of a second channel (channel B) [1]. It ranges from 0 for no colocalisation to 1 for complete colocalization. It is also referred to as M1 and M2.
MCC is commonly used to measure the colocalization of a particular protein in a subceullar compartment. Typically a segmentation mask for channel B is generated by setting a threshold that the pixel values must be above to be included in the MCC calculation. In this implementation, the channel B mask is provided as the argument
image1_mask, allowing the exact segmentation method to be decided by the user beforehand.The implemented equation is:
\[r = \frac{\sum A_{i,coloc}}{\sum A_i}\]- where
\(A_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in
image0\(A_{i,coloc} = A_i\) if \(Bmask_i > 0\) \(Bmask_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel inmask
MCC is sensitive to noise, with diffuse signal in the first channel inflating its value. Images should be processed to remove out of focus and background light before the MCC is calculated [2].

- skimage.measure.manders_overlap_coeff(image0, image1, mask=None)[source]#
Manders’ overlap coefficient
- Parameters:

- image1(M, N) ndarray
Image of channel B. All pixel values should be non-negative. Must have same dimensions as
image0- mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional
Only
image0andimage1pixel values within this region of interest mask are included in the calculation. Must have ♣same dimensions asimage0.
- Returns:
- moc: float
Manders’ Overlap Coefficient of pixel intensities between the two images.
Notes
Manders’ Overlap Coefficient (MOC) is given by the equation [1]:
\[r = \frac{\sum A_i B_i}{\sqrt{\sum A_i^2 \sum B_i^2}}\]- where
\(A_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in
image0\(B_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel inimage1
It ranges between 0 for no colocalization and 1 for complete colocalization of all pixels.
MOC does not take into account pixel intensities, just the fraction of pixels that have positive values for both channels[R2208c1a5d6e1-2]_ [3]. Its usefulness has been criticized as it changes in response to differences in both co-occurence and correlation and so a particular MOC value could indicate a wide range of colocalization patterns [4] [5].

- skimage.measure.marching_cubes(volume, level=None, *, spacing=(1.0, 1.0, 1.0), gradient_direction='descent', step_size=1, allow_degenerate=True, method='lewiner', mask=None)[source]#
Marching cubes algorithm to find surfaces in 3d volumetric data.
In contrast with Lorensen et al. approach [2], Lewiner et al. algorithm is faster, resolves ambiguities, and guarantees topologically correct results. Therefore, this algorithm generally a better choice.
- Parameters:
- volume(M, N, P) ndarray
Input data volume to find isosurfaces. Will internally be converted to float32 if necessary.
- levelfloat, optional
Contour value to search for isosurfaces in
volume. If not given or None, the average of the min and max of vol is used.- spacinglength-3 tuple of floats, optional
Voxel spacing in spatial dimensions corresponding to numpy array indexing dimensions (M, N, P) as in
volume.- gradient_directionstring, optional
Controls if the mesh was generated from an isosurface with gradient descent toward objects of interest (the default), or the opposite, considering the left-hand rule. The two options are: * descent : Object was greater than exterior * ascent : Exterior was greater than object
- step_sizeint, optional
Step size in voxels. Default 1. Larger steps yield faster but coarser results. The result will always be topologically correct though.
- allow_degeneratebool, optional
Whether to allow degenerate (i.e. zero-area) triangles in the end-result. Default True. If False, degenerate triangles are removed, at the cost of making the algorithm slower.
- method: {‘lewiner’, ‘lorensen’}, optional
Whether the method of Lewiner et al. or Lorensen et al. will be used.
- mask(M, N, P) array, optional
Boolean array. The marching cube algorithm will be computed only on True elements. This will save computational time when interfaces are located within certain region of the volume M, N, P-e.g. the top half of the cube-and also allow to compute finite surfaces-i.e. open surfaces that do not end at the border of the cube.
- Returns:
- verts(V, 3) array
Spatial coordinates for V unique mesh vertices. Coordinate order matches input
volume(M, N, P). Ifallow_degenerateis set to True, then the presence of degenerate triangles in the mesh can make this array have duplicate vertices.- faces(F, 3) array
Define triangular faces via referencing vertex indices from
verts. This algorithm specifically outputs triangles, so each face has exactly three indices.- normals(V, 3) array
The normal direction at each vertex, as calculated from the data.
- values(V,) array
Gives a measure for the maximum value of the data in the local region near each vertex. This can be used by visualization tools to apply a colormap to the mesh.
Notes
The algorithm [1] is an improved version of Chernyaev’s Marching Cubes 33 algorithm. It is an efficient algorithm that relies on heavy use of lookup tables to handle the many different cases, keeping the algorithm relatively easy. This implementation is written in Cython, ported from Lewiner’s C++ implementation.
To quantify the area of an isosurface generated by this algorithm, pass verts and faces to
skimage.measure.mesh_surface_area.Regarding visualization of algorithm output, to contour a volume named
myvolumeabout the level 0.0, using themayavipackage:>>> >> from mayavi import mlab >> verts, faces, _, _ = marching_cubes(myvolume, 0.0) >> mlab.triangular_mesh([vert[0] for vert in verts], [vert[1] for vert in verts], [vert[2] for vert in verts], faces) >> mlab.show()
Similarly using the
visvispackage:>>> >> import visvis as vv >> verts, faces, normals, values = marching_cubes(myvolume, 0.0) >> vv.mesh(np.fliplr(verts), faces, normals, values) >> vv.use().Run()
To reduce the number of triangles in the mesh for better performance, see this example using the
mayavipackage.References

As seen above, for symmetric objects, odd-order moments (columns 1 and 3, rows 1 and 3) are zero when centered on the centroid, or center of mass, of the object (the default). If we break the symmetry by adding a new point, this no longer holds:
>>> coords2 = np.concatenate((coords, [[17, 17]]), axis=0) >>> np.round(moments_coords_central(coords2), ... decimals=2) array([[17. , 0. , 22.12, -2.49], [ 0. , 3.53, 1.73, 7.4 ], [25.88, 6.02, 36.63, 8.83], [ 4.15, 19.17, 14.8 , 39.6 ]])
Image moments and central image moments are equivalent (by definition) when the center is (0, 0):

- skimage.measure.pearson_corr_coeff(image0, image1, mask=None)[source]#

- Parameters:

- image1(M, N) ndarray
Image of channel 2 to be correlated with channel B. Must have same dimensions as
image0.- mask(M, N) ndarray of dtype bool, optional
Only

- Returns:
- pccfloat
Pearson’s correlation coefficient of the pixel intensities between the two images, within the mask if provided.
- p-valuefloat
Two-tailed p-value.
Notes
Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (PCC) measures the linear correlation between the pixel intensities of the two images. Its value ranges from -1 for perfect linear anti-correlation to +1 for perfect linear correlation. The calculation of the p-value assumes that the intensities of pixels in each input image are normally distributed.
Scipy’s implementation of Pearson’s correlation coefficient is used. Please refer to it for further information and caveats [1].
\[r = \frac{\sum (A_i - m_A_i) (B_i - m_B_i)} {\sqrt{\sum (A_i - m_A_i)^2 \sum (B_i - m_B_i)^2}}\]- where
\(A_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel in
image0\(B_i\) is the value of the \(i^{th}\) pixel inimage1, \(m_A_i\) is the mean of the pixel values inimage0\(m_B_i\) is the mean of the pixel values inimage1
A low PCC value does not necessarily mean that there is no correlation between the two channel intensities, just that there is no linear correlation. You may wish to plot the pixel intensities of each of the two channels in a 2D scatterplot and use Spearman’s rank correlation if a non-linear correlation is visually identified [2]. Also consider if you are interested in correlation or co-occurence, in which case a method involving segmentation masks (e.g. MCC or intersection coefficient) may be more suitable [3] [4].
Providing the mask of only relevant sections of the image (e.g., cells, or particular cellular compartments) and removing noise is important as the PCC is sensitive to these measures [3] [4].

- skimage.measure.perimeter_crofton(image, directions=4)[source]#
Calculate total Crofton perimeter of all objects in binary image.
- Parameters:
- image(M, N) ndarray
Input image. If image is not binary, all values greater than zero are considered as the object.
- directions2 or 4, optional
Number of directions used to approximate the Crofton perimeter. By default, 4 is used: it should be more accurate than 2. Computation time is the same in both cases.
- Returns:
- perimeterfloat
Total perimeter of all objects in binary image.
Notes
This measure is based on Crofton formula [1], which is a measure from integral geometry. It is defined for general curve length evaluation via a double integral along all directions. In a discrete space, 2 or 4 directions give a quite good approximation, 4 being more accurate than 2 for more complex shapes.
Similar to
perimeter(), this function returns an approximation of the perimeter in continuous space.References

Fit a model to data with the RANSAC (random sample consensus) algorithm.
RANSAC is an iterative algorithm for the robust estimation of parameters from a subset of inliers from the complete data set. Each iteration performs the following tasks:
Select
min_samplesrandom samples from the original data and check whether the set of data is valid (seeis_data_valid).Estimate a model to the random subset (
model_cls.estimate(*data[random_subset]) and check whether the estimated model is valid (seeis_model_valid).Classify all data as inliers or outliers by calculating the residuals to the estimated model (
model_cls.residuals(*data)) - all data samples with residuals smaller than theresidual_thresholdare considered as inliers.Save estimated model as best model if number of inlier samples is maximal. In case the current estimated model has the same number of inliers, it is only considered as the best model if it has less sum of residuals.
These steps are performed either a maximum number of times or until one of the special stop criteria are met. The final model is estimated using all inlier samples of the previously determined best model.
- Parameters:
- data[list, tuple of] (N, …) array
Data set to which the model is fitted, where N is the number of data points and the remaining dimension are depending on model requirements. If the model class requires multiple input data arrays (e.g. source and destination coordinates of
skimage.transform.AffineTransform), they can be optionally passed as tuple or list. Note, that in this case the functionsestimate(*data),residuals(*data),is_model_valid(model, *random_data)andis_data_valid(*random_data)must all take each data array as separate arguments.- model_classobject
Object with the following object methods:
success = estimate(*data)residuals(*data)
where
successindicates whether the model estimation succeeded (TrueorNonefor success,Falsefor failure).- min_samplesint in range (0, N)
The minimum number of data points to fit a model to.
- residual_thresholdfloat larger than 0
Maximum distance for a data point to be classified as an inlier.
- is_data_validfunction, optional
This function is called with the randomly selected data before the model is fitted to it:
is_data_valid(*random_data).- is_model_validfunction, optional
This function is called with the estimated model and the randomly selected data:
is_model_valid(model, *random_data), .- max_trialsint, optional
Maximum number of iterations for random sample selection.
- stop_sample_numint, optional
Stop iteration if at least this number of inliers are found.
- stop_residuals_sumfloat, optional
Stop iteration if sum of residuals is less than or equal to this threshold.
- stop_probabilityfloat in range [0, 1], optional
RANSAC iteration stops if at least one outlier-free set of the training data is sampled with
probability >= stop_probability, depending on the current best model’s inlier ratio and the number of trials. This requires to generate at least N samples (trials):N >= log(1 - probability) / log(1 - e**m)
where the probability (confidence) is typically set to a high value such as 0.99, e is the current fraction of inliers w.r.t. the total number of samples, and m is the min_samples value.
- rng{
numpy.random.Generator, int}, optional Pseudo-random number generator. By default, a PCG64 generator is used (see
numpy.random.default_rng()). Ifrngis an int, it is used to seed the generator.- initial_inliersarray-like of bool, shape (N,), optional
Initial samples selection for model estimation
- Returns:
- modelobject
Best model with largest consensus set.
- inliers(N,) array
Boolean mask of inliers classified as
True.

- skimage.measure.regionprops(label_image, intensity_image=None, cache=True, *, extra_properties=None, spacing=None, offset=None)[source]#
Measure properties of labeled image regions.
- Parameters:
- label_image(M, N[, P]) ndarray
Labeled input image. Labels with value 0 are ignored.
Changed in version 0.14.1: Previously,
label_imagewas processed bynumpy.squeezeand so any number of singleton dimensions was allowed. This resulted in inconsistent handling of images with singleton dimensions. To recover the old behaviour, useregionprops(np.squeeze(label_image), ...).- intensity_image(M, N[, P][, C]) ndarray, optional
Intensity (i.e., input) image with same size as labeled image, plus optionally an extra dimension for multichannel data. Currently, this extra channel dimension, if present, must be the last axis. Default is None.
Changed in version 0.18.0: The ability to provide an extra dimension for channels was added.
- cachebool, optional
Determine whether to cache calculated properties. The computation is much faster for cached properties, whereas the memory consumption increases.
- extra_propertiesIterable of callables
Add extra property computation functions that are not included with skimage. The name of the property is derived from the function name, the dtype is inferred by calling the function on a small sample. If the name of an extra property clashes with the name of an existing property the extra property will not be visible and a UserWarning is issued. A property computation function must take a region mask as its first argument. If the property requires an intensity image, it must accept the intensity image as the second argument.
- spacing: tuple of float, shape (ndim,)
The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.
- offsetarray-like of int, shape
(label_image.ndim,), optional Coordinates of the origin (“top-left” corner) of the label image. Normally this is ([0, ]0, 0), but it might be different if one wants to obtain regionprops of subvolumes within a larger volume.
- Returns:
- propertieslist of RegionProperties
Each item describes one labeled region, and can be accessed using the attributes listed below.

- skimage.measure.regionprops_table(label_image, intensity_image=None, properties=('label', 'bbox'), *, cache=True, separator='-', extra_properties=None, spacing=None)[source]#
Compute image properties and return them as a pandas-compatible table.
The table is a dictionary mapping column names to value arrays. See Notes section below for details.
Added in version 0.16.
- Parameters:
- label_image(M, N[, P]) ndarray
Labeled input image. Labels with value 0 are ignored.
- intensity_image(M, N[, P][, C]) ndarray, optional
Intensity (i.e., input) image with same size as labeled image, plus optionally an extra dimension for multichannel data. The channel dimension, if present, must be the last axis. Default is None.
Changed in version 0.18.0: The ability to provide an extra dimension for channels was added.
- propertiestuple or list of str, optional
Properties that will be included in the resulting dictionary For a list of available properties, please see
regionprops(). Users should remember to add “label” to keep track of region identities.- cachebool, optional
Determine whether to cache calculated properties. The computation is much faster for cached properties, whereas the memory consumption increases.
- separatorstr, optional
For non-scalar properties not listed in OBJECT_COLUMNS, each element will appear in its own column, with the index of that element separated from the property name by this separator. For example, the inertia tensor of a 2D region will appear in four columns:
inertia_tensor-0-0,inertia_tensor-0-1,inertia_tensor-1-0, andinertia_tensor-1-1(where the separator is-).Object columns are those that cannot be split in this way because the number of columns would change depending on the object. For example,
imageandcoords.- extra_propertiesIterable of callables
Add extra property computation functions that are not included with skimage. The name of the property is derived from the function name, the dtype is inferred by calling the function on a small sample. If the name of an extra property clashes with the name of an existing property the extra property will not be visible and a UserWarning is issued. A property computation function must take a region mask as its first argument. If the property requires an intensity image, it must accept the intensity image as the second argument.
- spacing: tuple of float, shape (ndim,)
The pixel spacing along each axis of the image.
- Returns:
- out_dictdict
Dictionary mapping property names to an array of values of that property, one value per region. This dictionary can be used as input to pandas
DataFrameto map property names to columns in the frame and regions to rows. If the image has no regions, the arrays will have length 0, but the correct type.
Notes
Each column contains either a scalar property, an object property, or an element in a multidimensional array.
Properties with scalar values for each region, such as “eccentricity”, will appear as a float or int array with that property name as key.
Multidimensional properties of fixed size for a given image dimension, such as “centroid” (every centroid will have three elements in a 3D image, no matter the region size), will be split into that many columns, with the name {property_name}{separator}{element_num} (for 1D properties), {property_name}{separator}{elem_num0}{separator}{elem_num1} (for 2D properties), and so on.
For multidimensional properties that don’t have a fixed size, such as “image” (the image of a region varies in size depending on the region size), an object array will be used, with the corresponding property name as the key.
Examples
>>> from skimage import data, util, measure >>> image = data.coins() >>> label_image = measure.label(image > 110, connectivity=image.ndim) >>> props = measure.regionprops_table(label_image, image, ... properties=['label', 'inertia_tensor', ... 'inertia_tensor_eigvals']) >>> props {'label': array([ 1, 2, ...]), ... 'inertia_tensor-0-0': array([ 4.012...e+03, 8.51..., ...]), ... ..., 'inertia_tensor_eigvals-1': array([ 2.67...e+02, 2.83..., ...])}
The resulting dictionary can be directly passed to pandas, if installed, to obtain a clean DataFrame:
>>> import pandas as pd >>> data = pd.DataFrame(props) >>> data.head() label inertia_tensor-0-0 ... inertia_tensor_eigvals-1 0 1 4012.909888 ... 267.065503 1 2 8.514739 ... 2.834806 2 3 0.666667 ... 0.000000 3 4 0.000000 ... 0.000000 4 5 0.222222 ... 0.111111
[5 rows x 7 columns]
If we want to measure a feature that does not come as a built-in property, we can define custom functions and pass them as
extra_properties. For example, we can create a custom function that measures the intensity quartiles in a region:>>> from skimage import data, util, measure >>> import numpy as np >>> def quartiles(regionmask, intensity): ... return np.percentile(intensity[regionmask], q=(25, 50, 75)) >>> >>> image = data.coins() >>> label_image = measure.label(image > 110, connectivity=image.ndim) >>> props = measure.regionprops_table(label_image, intensity_image=image, ... properties=('label',), ... extra_properties=(quartiles,)) >>> import pandas as pd >>> pd.DataFrame(props).head() label quartiles-0 quartiles-1 quartiles-2 0 1 117.00 123.0 130.0 1 2 111.25 112.0 114.0 2 3 111.00 111.0 111.0 3 4 111.00 111.5 112.5 4 5 112.50 113.0 114.0
