Making an array of images in numpy python 2.7 - arrays

I want to have an array of images. For example, I would have a 4x1 array, (called imslice below) where each element is a nxnx3 image.
I want to do this to to do matrix operations on my imslice matrix like it was a normal matrix. For example, multiply it by a regular 2x2 matrix (called V.) When I try an do this right now, I am getting an array with 5 dimensions and when I try and multiply it by my V matrix I am getting the error that the dimensions don't agree (even though mathematically it's fine because the inner dimensions agree.)
Code:
imslice = np.array(([imslice1q, imslice2q, imslice3q, imslice4q]))
print imslice.shape
V = mh.gen_vmonde(4, 2, 1)
V.shape
C = np.dot(np.transpose(V), imslice)
------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call
last)
in ()
6 V.shape
7
----> 8 np.dot(np.transpose(V), imslice)
9
ValueError: shapes (6,4) and (4,178,178,3) not aligned: 4 (dim 1) !=
178 (dim 2)

Both np.dot and np.matmul treat more-than-two-dimensional arrays as stacks of matrices, so the last and last but one dimensions have to match.
A simple workaround in your case would be transposing:
np.dot(imslice.T, V).T
If you need something more flexible, there is np.einsum:
np.einsum('ji,jklm', V, imslice)

Repeat array rows specified number of times

New to julia, so this is probably very easy.
I have an n-by-m array and a vector of length n and want to repeat each row of the array the number of times in the corresponding element of the vector. For example:
mat = rand(3,6)
v = vec([2 3 1])
The result should be a 6-by-6 array. I tried the repeat function but
repeat(mat, inner = v)
yields a 6×18×1 Array{Float64,3}: array instead so it takes v to be the dimensions along which to repeat the elements. In matlab I would use repelem(mat, v, 1) and I hope julia offers something similar. My actual matrix is a lot bigger and I will have to call the function many times, so this operation needs to be as fast as possible.
It has been discussed to add a similar thing to Julia Base, but currently it is not implemented yet AFAIK. You can achieve what you want using the inverse_rle function from StatsBase.jl:
julia> row_idx = inverse_rle(axes(v, 1), v)
6-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
1
2
2
2
3
and now you can write:
mat[row_idx, :]
or
#view mat[row_idx, :]
(the second option creates a view which might be relevant in your use case if you say that your mat is large and you need to do such indexing many times - which option is faster will depend on your exact use case).

Accumulating values of array elements and reiterate for entire array in MATLAB

I have a matrix A of size 3780x30974. This matrix consists of 0 and 1. I would like to calculate the sum of fixed windows of length 21 (180 blocks). This should be reiterated, so that the output returns a vector of size 180x30974.
If the first 21 values in a column have a value of 1, the output should return 21. However, if the following 21 values have a value of 1 again, it should return 21 as well. In my code, it accumulates the values, so I obtain 42.
I have t=3780, p=180, w=21;
B = movsum(A,w); % the sum of a moving window with width w
This question is somehow related to a question previously asked, yet with a different problem setting. I thought about a loop to say "perform from t=1:p", yet it didn't work.
result = permute(sum(reshape(A, w, [], size(A,2)), 1), [2 3 1]);
This works as follows: reshape A into a 3D array of size 21×180×30974:
reshape(A, w, [], size(A,2)), 1)
then sum along the first dimension
sum(..., 1)
and finally remove the first (singleton) dimension by permuting it to the end:
permute(..., [2 3 1])
Note that Matlab arrays have an infinite number of trailing singleton dimensions, so moving a singleton dimension to the end is the same as removing it.

How to get the mean of first values in arrays in matrix in Matlab

If I have a square matrix of arrays such as:
[1,2], [2,3]
[5,9], [1,4]
And I want to get the mean of the first values in the arrays of each row such:
1.5
3
Is this possible in Matlab?
I've used the mean(matrix, 2) command to do this with a matrix of single values, but I'm not sure how to extend this to deal with the arrays.
Get the first elements in all arrays of matrix, then call mean function
mean(matrix(:,:,1))
maybe you need to reshape before call mean
a = matrix(:,:,1);
mean(a(:))
You can apply mean function inside mean function to get the total mean value of the 2D array at index 1. You can do similary with array at index 2. Consider the following snapshot.
After staring at your problem for a long time, it looks like your input is a 3D matrix where each row of your formatting corresponds to a 2D matrix slice. Therefore, in proper MATLAB syntax, your matrix is actually:
M = cat(3, [1,2; 2,3], [5,9; 1,4]);
We thus get:
>> M = cat(3, [1,2; 2,3], [5,9; 1,4])
M(:,:,1) =
1 2
2 3
M(:,:,2) =
5 9
1 4
The first slice is the matrix [1,2; 2,3] and the second slice is [5,9; 1,4]. From what it looks like, you would like the mean of only the first column of every slice and return this as a single vector of values. Therefore, use the mean function and index into the first column for all rows and slices. This will unfortunately become a singleton 3D array so you'll need to squeeze out the singleton dimensions.
Without further ado:
O = squeeze(mean(M(:,1,:)))
We thus get:
>> O = squeeze(mean(M(:,1,:)))
O =
1.5000
3.0000

Better algorithm to construct a matrix using vcat() or hcat() in a loop in Julia?

To use vcat(a,b) and hcat(a,b), one must match the number of columns or number of rows in the matrices a and b.
When constructing a matrix using vact(a, b) or hcat(a, b) in a loop, one needs an initial matrix a (like a starting statement). Although all the sub-matrices are created in the same manner, I might need to construct this initial matrix a outside of the loop.
For example, if the loop condition is for i in 1:w, then I would need to pre-create a using i = 1, then start the loop with for i in 2:w.
If there is a nested loop, then my method is very awkward. I have thought the following methods, but it seems they don't really work:
Use a dummy a, delete a after the loop. From this question, we cannot delete row in a matrix. If we use another variable to refer to the useful rows and columns, we might waste some memory allocation.
Use reshape() to make an empty dummy a. It works for 1 dimension, but not multiple dimensions.
julia> a = reshape([], 2, 0)
2×0 Array{Any,2}
julia> b = hcat(a, [3, 3])
2×1 Array{Any,2}:
3
3
julia> a = reshape([], 2, 2)
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("new dimensions (2,2) must be consistent with array size 0")
in reshape(::Array{Any,1}, ::Tuple{Int64,Int64}) at ./array.jl:113
in reshape(::Array{Any,1}, ::Int64, ::Int64, ::Vararg{Int64,N}) at ./reshapedarray.jl:39
So my question is how to work around with vcat() and hcat() in a loop?
Edit:
Here is the problem I got stuck in:
There are many gray pixel images. Each one is represented as a 20 by 20 Float64 array. One function foo(n) randomly picks n of those matrices, and combine them to a big square.
If n has integer square root, then foo(n) returns a sqrt(n) * 20 by sqrt(n) * 20 matrix.
If n does not have integer square root, then foo(n) returns a ceil(sqrt(n)) * 20 by ceil(sqrt(n)) * 20 matrix. On the last row of the big square image (a row of 20 by 20 matrices), foo(n) fills ceil(sqrt(n)) ^ 2 - n extra black images (each one is represented as zeros(20,20)).
My current algorithm for foo(n) is to use a nested loop. In the inner loop, hcat() builds a layer (consisting ceil(sqrt(n)) images). In the outer loop, vcat() combines those layers.
Then dealing with hcat() and vcat() in a loop becomes complicated.
So would:
pickimage() = randn(20,20)
n = 16
m = ceil(Int, sqrt(n))
out = Matrix{Float64}(20m, 20m)
k = 0
for i in (1:m)-1
for j in (1:m)-1
out[20i + (1:20), 20j + (1:20)] .= ((k += 1) <= n) ? pickimage() : zeros(20,20)
end
end
be a relevant solution?

How to convert a cell array of 2D matrices into a multidimensional array in MATLAB

In MATLAB, I have a defined cell array C of
size(C) = 1 by 150
Each matrix T of this cell C is of size
size(C{i}) = 8 by 16
I am wondering if there is a way to define a new multidimension (3D) matrix M that is of size 8 by 16 by 150
That is when I write the command size(M) I get 8 by 16 by 150
Thank you! Looking forward for your answers
If I'm understanding your problem correctly, you have a cell array of 150 cells, and each cell element is 8 x 16, and you wish to stack all of these matrices together in the third dimension so you have a 3D matrix of size 8 x 16 x 150.
It's a simple as:
M = cat(3, C{:});
This syntax may look strange, but it's very valid. The command cat performs concatenation of matrices where the first parameter is the dimension you want to concatenate to... so in your case, that's the third dimension, and the parameters after are the matrices you want to concatenate to make the final matrix.
Doing C{:} creates what is known as a comma-separated list. This is equivalent to typing out the following syntax in MATLAB:
C{1}, C{2}, C{3}, ..., C{150}
Therefore, by doing cat(3, C{:});, what you're really doing is:
cat(3, C{1}, C{2}, C{3}, ..., C{150});
As such, you're taking all of the 150 cells and concatenating them all together in the third dimension. However, instead of having to type out 150 individual cell entries, that is encapsulated by creating a comma-separated list via C{:}.
