static random_noise(image, mode='gaussian', seed=None, clip=True, **kwargs)[source]#

Function to add noise to input image

Parameters
  • image – input dataset, DataContainer of numpy.ndarray

  • mode – type of noise

  • seed – seed for random number generator

  • clip – should clip the data.

See scikit-image/scikit-image

static scikit_random_noise(image, mode='gaussian', seed=None, clip=True, **kwargs)[source]#

Function to add random noise of various types to a floating-point image. :param image: Input image data. Will be converted to float. :type image: ndarray :param mode: One of the following strings, selecting the type of noise to add:

  • ‘gaussian’ Gaussian-distributed additive noise.

  • ‘localvar’ Gaussian-distributed additive noise, with specified

    local variance at each point of image.

  • ‘poisson’ Poisson-distributed noise generated from the data.

  • ‘salt’ Replaces random pixels with 1.

  • ‘pepper’ Replaces random pixels with 0 (for unsigned images) or

    -1 (for signed images).

  • ‘s&p’ Replaces random pixels with either 1 or low_val, where

    low_val is 0 for unsigned images or -1 for signed images.

  • ‘speckle’ Multiplicative noise using out = image + n*image, where

    n is uniform noise with specified mean & variance.

Parameters
  • seed (int, optional) – If provided, this will set the random seed before generating noise, for valid pseudo-random comparisons.

  • clip (bool, optional) – If True (default), the output will be clipped after noise applied for modes ‘speckle’, ‘poisson’, and ‘gaussian’. This is needed to maintain the proper image data range. If False, clipping is not applied, and the output may extend beyond the range [-1, 1].

  • mean (float, optional) – Mean of random distribution. Used in ‘gaussian’ and ‘speckle’. Default : 0.

  • var (float, optional) – Variance of random distribution. Used in ‘gaussian’ and ‘speckle’. Note: variance = (standard deviation) ** 2. Default : 0.01

  • local_vars (ndarray, optional) – Array of positive floats, same shape as image, defining the local variance at every image point. Used in ‘localvar’.

  • amount (float, optional) – Proportion of image pixels to replace with noise on range [0, 1]. Used in ‘salt’, ‘pepper’, and ‘salt & pepper’. Default : 0.05

  • salt_vs_pepper (float, optional) – Proportion of salt vs. pepper noise for ‘s&p’ on range [0, 1]. Higher values represent more salt. Default : 0.5 (equal amounts)

Returns

out – Output floating-point image data on range [0, 1] or [-1, 1] if the input image was unsigned or signed, respectively.

Return type

ndarray

Notes

Speckle, Poisson, Localvar, and Gaussian noise may generate noise outside the valid image range. The default is to clip (not alias) these values, but they may be preserved by setting clip=False. Note that in this case the output may contain values outside the ranges [0, 1] or [-1, 1]. Use this option with care. Because of the prevalence of exclusively positive floating-point images in intermediate calculations, it is not possible to intuit if an input is signed based on dtype alone. Instead, negative values are explicitly searched for. Only if found does this function assume signed input. Unexpected results only occur in rare, poorly exposes cases (e.g. if all values are above 50 percent gray in a signed image). In this event, manually scaling the input to the positive domain will solve the problem. The Poisson distribution is only defined for positive integers. To apply this noise type, the number of unique values in the image is found and the next round power of two is used to scale up the floating-point result, after which it is scaled back down to the floating-point image range. To generate Poisson noise against a signed image, the signed image is temporarily converted to an unsigned image in the floating point domain, Poisson noise is generated, then it is returned to the original range.

class cil.utilities.display.show1D(data, slice_list=None, label='default', title=None, line_colours=None, line_styles=None, axis_labels=('Index', 'Value'), size=(8, 6))[source]#

This creates and displays 1D plots of pixel values by slicing multi-dimensional data.

The behaviour is as follows: if provided multiple datasets and a single slice set (see first example below), one line plot will be generated per dataset; if provided a single dataset and multiple sets of slices (see second example below), one line plot will be generated per slice set; if provided multiple datasets and multiple slice sets, the \(i\)-th set of slices will apply to the \(i\)-th dataset, with a line plot generated in each case.

Parameters
  • data (DataContainer, list of DataContainer, tuple of DataContainer) – Multi-dimensional data to be reduced to 1D.

  • slice_list (tuple, list of tuple or list of list of tuple, default=None) – A tuple of (dimension, coordinate) pair, or a list, or nested list, of such pairs for slicing data (default is None, which is only valid when 1D data is passed)

  • label ('default', str, list of str, None, default='default') – Label(s) to use in the plot’s legend. Use None to suppress legend.

  • title (str, default None) – A title for the plot

  • line_colours (str, list of str, default=None) – Colour(s) for each line plot

  • line_styles ({"-","--","-.",":"}, list of {"-","--","-.",":"}, default=None) – Linestyle(s) for each line plot

  • axis_labels (tuple of str, list of str, default=('Index','Value')) – Axis labels in the form (x_axis_label,y_axis_label)

  • num_cols (int, default=3) – The number of columns in the grid of subplots produced in the case of multiple plots

  • size (tuple, default=(8,6)) – The size of the figure

figure#
Type

matplotlib.figure.Figure

Examples

This example creates two 2D datasets (images), and uses the provided slicing information to generate two plots on the same axis, corresponding to the two datasets.

>>> from cil.utilities.display import show1D
>>> from cil.utilities.dataexample import PEPPERS
>>> data = PEPPERS.get()
>>> data_channel0 = data.get_slice(channel=0)
>>> data_channel1 = data.get_slice(channel=1)
>>> show1D([data_channel0, data_channel1], slice_list=[('horizontal_x', 256)],
...        label=['Channel 0', 'Channel 1'], line_styles=["--", "-"])

The following example uses two sets of slicing information applied to a single dataset, resulting in two separate plots.

>>> from cil.utilities.display import show1D
>>> from cil.utilities.dataexample import PEPPERS
>>> data = PEPPERS.get()
>>> slices = [[('channel', 0), ('horizontal_x', 256)], [('channel', 1), ('horizontal_y', 256)]]
>>> show1D(data, slice_list=slices, title=['Channel 0', 'Channel 1'])
