I have a 2D array:
[[1,2,0,0],
[4,0,9,4],
[0,0,1,0],
[4,6,9,0]]
is there an efficient way (without using loops) to replace every first 0 in the array, with a 1:
[[1,2,1,0],
[4,1,9,4],
[1,0,1,0],
[4,6,9,1]]
?
Thanks a lot !
Here is a one-liner inspired by the accepted answer of this question:
a = np.array([
[1, 2, 0, 0],
[4, 0, 9, 4],
[0, 0, 1, 0],
[4, 6, 9, 0]
])
a[range(len(a)), np.argmax(a == 0, axis=1)] = 1
So, you can use np.where to get the indices of the rows and columns where the array is 0:
In [45]: arr = np.array(
...: [[1,2,0,0],
...: [4,0,9,4],
...: [0,0,1,0],
...: [4,6,9,0]]
...: )
In [46]: r, c = np.where(arr == 0)
Then, use np.unique to get the unique x values, which will correspond to the first incidence of 0 in each row, and use return_index to get the indices to extract the corresponding column values:
In [47]: uniq_val, uniq_idx = np.unique(r, return_index=True)
In [48]: arr[uniq_val, c[uniq_idx]] = 1
In [49]: arr
Out[49]:
array([[1, 2, 1, 0],
[4, 1, 9, 4],
[1, 0, 1, 0],
[4, 6, 9, 1]])
If performance is really an issue, you could just write a numba function, I suspect this would be very amenable to numba
I have an array X:
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
And I wish to find the index of the row of several values in this array:
searched_values = np.array([[4, 2],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
For this example I would like a result like:
[0,3,4]
I have a code doing this, but I think it is overly complicated:
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
searched_values = np.array([[4, 2],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
result = []
for s in searched_values:
idx = np.argwhere([np.all((X-s)==0, axis=1)])[0][1]
result.append(idx)
print(result)
I found this answer for a similar question but it works only for 1d arrays.
Is there a way to do what I want in a simpler way?
Approach #1
One approach would be to use NumPy broadcasting, like so -
np.where((X==searched_values[:,None]).all(-1))[1]
Approach #2
A memory efficient approach would be to convert each row as linear index equivalents and then using np.in1d, like so -
dims = X.max(0)+1
out = np.where(np.in1d(np.ravel_multi_index(X.T,dims),\
np.ravel_multi_index(searched_values.T,dims)))[0]
Approach #3
Another memory efficient approach using np.searchsorted and with that same philosophy of converting to linear index equivalents would be like so -
dims = X.max(0)+1
X1D = np.ravel_multi_index(X.T,dims)
searched_valuesID = np.ravel_multi_index(searched_values.T,dims)
sidx = X1D.argsort()
out = sidx[np.searchsorted(X1D,searched_valuesID,sorter=sidx)]
Please note that this np.searchsorted method assumes there is a match for each row from searched_values in X.
How does np.ravel_multi_index work?
This function gives us the linear index equivalent numbers. It accepts a 2D array of n-dimensional indices, set as columns and the shape of that n-dimensional grid itself onto which those indices are to be mapped and equivalent linear indices are to be computed.
Let's use the inputs we have for the problem at hand. Take the case of input X and note the first row of it. Since, we are trying to convert each row of X into its linear index equivalent and since np.ravel_multi_index assumes each column as one indexing tuple, we need to transpose X before feeding into the function. Since, the number of elements per row in X in this case is 2, the n-dimensional grid to be mapped onto would be 2D. With 3 elements per row in X, it would had been 3D grid for mapping and so on.
To see how this function would compute linear indices, consider the first row of X -
In [77]: X
Out[77]:
array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
We have the shape of the n-dimensional grid as dims -
In [78]: dims
Out[78]: array([10, 7])
Let's create the 2-dimensional grid to see how that mapping works and linear indices get computed with np.ravel_multi_index -
In [79]: out = np.zeros(dims,dtype=int)
In [80]: out
Out[80]:
array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
Let's set the first indexing tuple from X, i.e. the first row from X into the grid -
In [81]: out[4,2] = 1
In [82]: out
Out[82]:
array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
Now, to see the linear index equivalent of the element just set, let's flatten and use np.where to detect that 1.
In [83]: np.where(out.ravel())[0]
Out[83]: array([30])
This could also be computed if row-major ordering is taken into account.
Let's use np.ravel_multi_index and verify those linear indices -
In [84]: np.ravel_multi_index(X.T,dims)
Out[84]: array([30, 66, 61, 24, 41])
Thus, we would have linear indices corresponding to each indexing tuple from X, i.e. each row from X.
Choosing dimensions for np.ravel_multi_index to form unique linear indices
Now, the idea behind considering each row of X as indexing tuple of a n-dimensional grid and converting each such tuple to a scalar is to have unique scalars corresponding to unique tuples, i.e. unique rows in X.
Let's take another look at X -
In [77]: X
Out[77]:
array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
Now, as discussed in the previous section, we are considering each row as indexing tuple. Within each such indexing tuple, the first element would represent the first axis of the n-dim grid, second element would be the second axis of the grid and so on until the last element of each row in X. In essence, each column would represent one dimension or axis of the grid. If we are to map all elements from X onto the same n-dim grid, we need to consider the maximum stretch of each axis of such a proposed n-dim grid. Assuming we are dealing with positive numbers in X, such a stretch would be the maximum of each column in X + 1. That + 1 is because Python follows 0-based indexing. So, for example X[1,0] == 9 would map to the 10th row of the proposed grid. Similarly, X[4,1] == 6 would go to the 7th column of that grid.
So, for our sample case, we had -
In [7]: dims = X.max(axis=0) + 1 # Or simply X.max(0) + 1
In [8]: dims
Out[8]: array([10, 7])
Thus, we would need a grid of at least a shape of (10,7) for our sample case. More lengths along the dimensions won't hurt and would give us unique linear indices too.
Concluding remarks : One important thing to be noted here is that if we have negative numbers in X, we need to add proper offsets along each column in X to make those indexing tuples as positive numbers before using np.ravel_multi_index.
Another alternative is to use asvoid (below) to view each row as a single
value of void dtype. This reduces a 2D array to a 1D array, thus allowing you to use np.in1d as usual:
import numpy as np
def asvoid(arr):
"""
Based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/16973510/190597 (Jaime, 2013-06)
View the array as dtype np.void (bytes). The items along the last axis are
viewed as one value. This allows comparisons to be performed which treat
entire rows as one value.
"""
arr = np.ascontiguousarray(arr)
if np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.floating):
""" Care needs to be taken here since
np.array([-0.]).view(np.void) != np.array([0.]).view(np.void)
Adding 0. converts -0. to 0.
"""
arr += 0.
return arr.view(np.dtype((np.void, arr.dtype.itemsize * arr.shape[-1])))
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
searched_values = np.array([[4, 2],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
idx = np.flatnonzero(np.in1d(asvoid(X), asvoid(searched_values)))
print(idx)
# [0 3 4]
The numpy_indexed package (disclaimer: I am its author) contains functionality for performing such operations efficiently (also uses searchsorted under the hood). In terms of functionality, it acts as a vectorized equivalent of list.index:
import numpy_indexed as npi
result = npi.indices(X, searched_values)
Note that using the 'missing' kwarg, you have full control over behavior of missing items, and it works for nd-arrays (fi; stacks of images) as well.
Update: using the same shapes as #Rik X=[520000,28,28] and searched_values=[20000,28,28], it runs in 0.8064 secs, using missing=-1 to detect and denote entries not present in X.
Here is a pretty fast solution that scales up well using numpy and hashlib. It can handle large dimensional matrices or images in seconds. I used it on 520000 X (28 X 28) array and 20000 X (28 X 28) in 2 seconds on my CPU
Code:
import numpy as np
import hashlib
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
searched_values = np.array([[4, 2],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
#hash using sha1 appears to be efficient
xhash=[hashlib.sha1(row).digest() for row in X]
yhash=[hashlib.sha1(row).digest() for row in searched_values]
z=np.in1d(xhash,yhash)
##Use unique to get unique indices to ind1 results
_,unique=np.unique(np.array(xhash)[z],return_index=True)
##Compute unique indices by indexing an array of indices
idx=np.array(range(len(xhash)))
unique_idx=idx[z][unique]
print('unique_idx=',unique_idx)
print('X[unique_idx]=',X[unique_idx])
Output:
unique_idx= [4 3 0]
X[unique_idx]= [[5 6]
[3 3]
[4 2]]
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
S = np.array([[4, 2],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
result = [[i for i,row in enumerate(X) if (s==row).all()] for s in S]
or
result = [i for s in S for i,row in enumerate(X) if (s==row).all()]
if you want a flat list (assuming there is exactly one match per searched value).
Another way is to use cdist function from scipy.spatial.distance like this:
np.nonzero(cdist(X, searched_values) == 0)[0]
Basically, we get row numbers of X which have distance zero to a row in searched_values, meaning they are equal. Makes sense if you look on rows as coordinates.
I had similar requirement and following worked for me:
np.argwhere(np.isin(X, searched_values).all(axis=1))
Here's what worked out for me:
def find_points(orig: np.ndarray, search: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
equals = [np.equal(orig, p).all(1) for p in search]
exists = np.max(equals, axis=1)
indices = np.argmax(equals, axis=1)
indices[exists == False] = -1
return indices
test:
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],
[8, 5],
[3, 3],
[5, 6]])
searched_values = np.array([[4, 2],
[3, 3],
[5, 6],
[0, 0]])
find_points(X, searched_values)
output:
[0,3,4,-1]
I have an array X:
X = np.array([[4, 2],
[9, 3],

I have a lot of data in database in (x, y, value) triplet form.
I would like to be able to create dynamically a 2D numpy array from this data by setting value at the coords (x,y) of the array.
For instance if I have :
(0,0,8)
(0,1,5)
(0,2,3)
(1,0,4)
(1,1,0)
(1,2,0)
(2,0,1)
(2,1,2)
(2,2,5)
The resulting array should be :
Array([[8,5,3],[4,0,0],[1,2,5]])
I'm new to numpy, is there any method in numpy to do so ? If not, what approach would you advice to do this ?
Extending the answer from #MaxU, in case the coordinates are not ordered in a grid fashion (or in case some coordinates are missing), you can create your array as follows:
import numpy as np
a = np.array([(0,0,8),(0,1,5),(0,2,3),
(1,0,4),(1,1,0),(1,2,0),
(2,0,1),(2,1,2),(2,2,5)])
Here a represents your coordinates. It is an (N, 3) array, where N is the number of coordinates (it doesn't have to contain ALL the coordinates). The first column of a (a[:, 0]) contains the Y positions while the second columne (a[:, 1]) contains the X positions. Similarly, the last column (a[:, 2]) contains your values.
Then you can extract the maximum dimensions of your target array:
# Maximum Y and X coordinates
ymax = a[:, 0].max()
xmax = a[:, 1].max()
# Target array
target = np.zeros((ymax+1, xmax+1), a.dtype)
And finally, fill the array with data from your coordinates:
target[a[:, 0], a[:, 1]] = a[:, 2]
The line above sets values in target at a[:, 0] (all Y) and a[:, 1] (all X) locations to their corresponding a[:, 2] value (your value).
>>> target
array([[8, 5, 3],
[4, 0, 0],
[1, 2, 5]])
Additionally, if you have missing coordinates, and you want to replace those missing values by some number, you can initialize the array as:
default_value = -1
target = np.full((ymax+1, xmax+1), default_value, a.type)
This way, the coordinates not present in your list will be filled with -1 in the target array/
Why not using sparse matrices? (which is pretty much the format of your triplets.)
First split the triplets in rows, columns, and data using numpy.hsplit(). (Use numpy.squeeze() to convert the resulting 2d arrays to 1d arrays.)
>>> row, col, data = [np.squeeze(splt) for splt
... in np.hsplit(tripets, tripets.shape[-1])]
Use the sparse matrix in coordinate format, and convert it to an array.
>>> from scipy.sparse import coo_matrix
>>> coo_matrix((data, (row, col))).toarray()
array([[8, 5, 3],
[4, 0, 0],
[1, 2, 5]])
is that what you want?
In [37]: a = np.array([(0,0,8)
....: ,(0,1,5)
....: ,(0,2,3)
....: ,(1,0,4)
....: ,(1,1,0)
....: ,(1,2,0)
....: ,(2,0,1)
....: ,(2,1,2)
....: ,(2,2,5)])
In [38]:
In [38]: a
Out[38]:
array([[0, 0, 8],
[0, 1, 5],
[0, 2, 3],
[1, 0, 4],
[1, 1, 0],
[1, 2, 0],
[2, 0, 1],
[2, 1, 2],
[2, 2, 5]])
In [39]:
In [39]: a[:, 2].reshape(3,len(a)//3)
Out[39]:
array([[8, 5, 3],
[4, 0, 0],
[1, 2, 5]])
or a bit more flexible (after your comment):
In [48]: a[:, 2].reshape([int(len(a) ** .5)] * 2)
Out[48]:
array([[8, 5, 3],
[4, 0, 0],
[1, 2, 5]])
Explanation:
this gives you the 3rd column (value):
In [42]: a[:, 2]
Out[42]: array([8, 5, 3, 4, 0, 0, 1, 2, 5])
In [49]: [int(len(a) ** .5)]
Out[49]: [3]
In [50]: [int(len(a) ** .5)] * 2
Out[50]: [3, 3]
Briefly: there is a similar question and the best answer suggests using numpy.bincount. I need the same thing, but for a matrix.
I've got two arrays:
array([1, 2, 1, 1, 2])
array([2, 1, 1, 1, 1])
together they make indices that should be incremented:
>>> np.array([a, b]).T
array([[1, 2],
[2, 1],
[1, 1],
[1, 1],
[2, 1]])
I want to get this matrix:
array([[0, 0, 0],
[0, 2, 1], # (1,1) twice, (1,2) once
[0, 2, 0]]) # (2,1) twice
The matrix will be small (like, 5×5), and the number of indices will be large (somewhere near 10^3 or 10^5).
So, is there anything better (faster) than a for-loop?
You can still use bincount(). The trick is to convert a and b into a single 1D array of flat indices.
If the matrix is nxm, you could apply bincount() to a * m + b, and construct the matrix from the result.
To take the example in your question:
In [15]: a = np.array([1, 2, 1, 1, 2])
In [16]: b = np.array([2, 1, 1, 1, 1])
In [17]: cnt = np.bincount(a * 3 + b)
In [18]: cnt.resize((3, 3))
In [19]: cnt
Out[19]:
array([[0, 0, 0],
[0, 2, 1],
[0, 2, 0]])
If the shape of the array is more complicated, it might be easier to use np.ravel_multi_index() instead of computing flat indices by hand:
In [20]: cnt = np.bincount(np.ravel_multi_index(np.vstack((a, b)), (3, 3)))
In [21]: np.resize(cnt, (3, 3))
Out[21]:
array([[0, 0, 0],
[0, 2, 1],
[0, 2, 0]])
(Hat tip #Jaime for pointing out ravel_multi_index.)
m1 = m.view(numpy.ndarray) # Create view
m1.shape = -1 # Make one-dimensional array
m1 += np.bincount(a+m.shape[1]*b, minlength=m1.size)
