Matlab indexing two dimensions with linear indicies while keeping a third dimension constant - image

Say I have 2D linear indicies:
linInd = sub2ind(imSize,rowPnts,colPnts);
And I have a 3D color image I:
I = rand(64,64,3)*255
Is there any way that I can index something like this in order to get all coordinates in the 2D plane but for each channel of the image? That is, can I get all of the color channel information for each pixel with one command using linear indicies that are specified for 2D?
I(linInd,:)
So I don't have to split up the image into 3 parts and then reassemble again?
Thanks.

You can broadcast the 2D linear indices to a 3D case using bsxfun without messing with the input array, like so -
[m,n,r] = size(I);
out = I(bsxfun(#plus,linInd,(m*n*(0:r-1))'))
Sample setup
%// ---------------- 2D Case ---------------------
im = randi(9,10,10);
imSize = size(im);
rowPnts = [3,6,8,4];
colPnts = [6,3,8,5];
linInd = sub2ind(imSize,rowPnts,colPnts);
%// ---------------- 3D Case ---------------------
I = randi(9,10,10,4);
%// BSXFUN solution
[m,n,r] = size(I);
out = I(bsxfun(#plus,linInd,(m*n*(0:r-1))')); %//'
%// Tedious work of splitting
Ir = I(:,:,1);
Ig = I(:,:,2);
Ib = I(:,:,3);
Ia = I(:,:,4);
Output
>> Ir(linInd)
ans =
8 9 1 6
>> Ig(linInd)
ans =
1 5 9 8
>> Ib(linInd)
ans =
8 5 3 8
>> Ia(linInd)
ans =
8 8 3 3
>> out
out =
8 9 1 6
1 5 9 8
8 5 3 8
8 8 3 3

To my knowledge, reshaping the matrix first is the only way to use linear indexing this way.
I2=reshape(I,[],3)
I2(ind,:)

Is it specifically necessary for you to keep that dimension as the third? If not, you could permute the array to move that dimension to the 1st position, then use arr(i3d, linInd).

Get X and Y positions of a Pixel given the HEIGHT , WIDTH and index of a pixel in FLATTENED array representing the image

Imagine you have this image
[[1 2 3] [4 5 6] [7 8 90]]
You flatten it into this format -
[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 90]
Now you are given the index of Pixel 90 to be 8.
How can you find that pixel 90 is in Row 3 and column 3?
OpenCL, similarly to other programming languages like C, C++, Java and so on, uses zero based indexing. So in this terms you are looking for Row 2 and Column 2.
Now to calculate which row that is we need to divide index position 8 by number of columns:
8 / 3 = 2
So in zero based indexing that is a second row.
Now to calculate which column that is we use modulo operator:
8 % 3 = 2
In the 2D case, a point (x,y) in a rectangle with the dimensions (sx,sy) can be represented in 1D space by a linear index n as follows:
n = x+y*sx
Converting the 1D index n back to (x,y) works as follows:
x = n%sx
y = n/sx
For the 3D case, a point (x,y,z) in the a box with dimensions (sx,sy,sz) can be represented in 1D as
n = x+(y+z*sy)*sx
and converted back to (x,y,z) like this:
z = n/(sx*sy);
temp = n%(sx*sy);
y = temp/sx;
x = temp%sx;
Note that "/" here means integer division (always rounds down the result) and "%" is the modulo operator.

What is the most efficient way to implement zig-zag ordering in MATLAB? [duplicate]

I have an NxM matrix in MATLAB that I would like to reorder in similar fashion to the way JPEG reorders its subblock pixels:
(image from Wikipedia)
I would like the algorithm to be generic such that I can pass in a 2D matrix with any dimensions. I am a C++ programmer by trade and am very tempted to write an old school loop to accomplish this, but I suspect there is a better way to do it in MATLAB.
I'd be rather want an algorithm that worked on an NxN matrix and go from there.
Example:
1 2 3
4 5 6 --> 1 2 4 7 5 3 6 8 9
7 8 9
Consider the code:
M = randi(100, [3 4]); %# input matrix
ind = reshape(1:numel(M), size(M)); %# indices of elements
ind = fliplr( spdiags( fliplr(ind) ) ); %# get the anti-diagonals
ind(:,1:2:end) = flipud( ind(:,1:2:end) ); %# reverse order of odd columns
ind(ind==0) = []; %# keep non-zero indices
M(ind) %# get elements in zigzag order
An example with a 4x4 matrix:
» M
M =
17 35 26 96
12 59 51 55
50 23 70 14
96 76 90 15
» M(ind)
ans =
17 35 12 50 59 26 96 51 23 96 76 70 55 14 90 15
and an example with a non-square matrix:
M =
69 9 16 100
75 23 83 8
46 92 54 45
ans =
69 9 75 46 23 16 100 83 92 54 8 45
This approach is pretty fast:
X = randn(500,2000); %// example input matrix
[r, c] = size(X);
M = bsxfun(#plus, (1:r).', 0:c-1);
M = M + bsxfun(#times, (1:r).'/(r+c), (-1).^M);
[~, ind] = sort(M(:));
y = X(ind).'; %'// output row vector
Benchmarking
The following code compares running time with that of Amro's excellent answer, using timeit. It tests different combinations of matrix size (number of entries) and matrix shape (number of rows to number of columns ratio).
%// Amro's approach
function y = zigzag_Amro(M)
ind = reshape(1:numel(M), size(M));
ind = fliplr( spdiags( fliplr(ind) ) );
ind(:,1:2:end) = flipud( ind(:,1:2:end) );
ind(ind==0) = [];
y = M(ind);
%// Luis' approach
function y = zigzag_Luis(X)
[r, c] = size(X);
M = bsxfun(#plus, (1:r).', 0:c-1);
M = M + bsxfun(#times, (1:r).'/(r+c), (-1).^M);
[~, ind] = sort(M(:));
y = X(ind).';
%// Benchmarking code:
S = [10 30 100 300 1000 3000]; %// reference to generate matrix size
f = [1 1]; %// number of cols is S*f(1); number of rows is S*f(2)
%// f = [0.5 2]; %// plotted with '--'
%// f = [2 0.5]; %// plotted with ':'
t_Amro = NaN(size(S));
t_Luis = NaN(size(S));
for n = 1:numel(S)
X = rand(f(1)*S(n), f(2)*S(n));
f_Amro = #() zigzag_Amro(X);
f_Luis = #() zigzag_Luis(X);
t_Amro(n) = timeit(f_Amro);
t_Luis(n) = timeit(f_Luis);
end
loglog(S.^2*prod(f), t_Amro, '.b-');
hold on
loglog(S.^2*prod(f), t_Luis, '.r-');
xlabel('number of matrix entries')
ylabel('time')
The figure below has been obtained with Matlab R2014b on Windows 7 64 bits. Results in R2010b are very similar. It is seen that the new approach reduces running time by a factor between 2.5 (for small matrices) and 1.4 (for large matrices). Results are seen to be almost insensitive to matrix shape, given a total number of entries.
Here's a non-loop solution zig_zag.m. It looks ugly but it works!:
function [M,index] = zig_zag(M)
[r,c] = size(M);
checker = rem(hankel(1:r,r-1+(1:c)),2);
[rEven,cEven] = find(checker);
[cOdd,rOdd] = find(~checker.'); %'#
rTotal = [rEven; rOdd];
cTotal = [cEven; cOdd];
[junk,sortIndex] = sort(rTotal+cTotal);
rSort = rTotal(sortIndex);
cSort = cTotal(sortIndex);
index = sub2ind([r c],rSort,cSort);
M = M(index);
end
And a test matrix:
>> M = [magic(4) zeros(4,1)];
M =
16 2 3 13 0
5 11 10 8 0
9 7 6 12 0
4 14 15 1 0
>> newM = zig_zag(M) %# Zig-zag sampled elements
newM =
16

Here's a way how to do this. Basically, your array is a hankel matrix plus vectors of 1:m, where m is the number of elements in each diagonal. Maybe someone else has a neat idea on how to create the diagonal arrays that have to be added to the flipped hankel array without a loop.
I think this should be generalizeable to a non-square array.
% for a 3x3 array
n=3;
numElementsPerDiagonal = [1:n,n-1:-1:1];
hadaRC = cumsum([0,numElementsPerDiagonal(1:end-1)]);
array2add = fliplr(hankel(hadaRC(1:n),hadaRC(end-n+1:n)));
% loop through the hankel array and add numbers counting either up or down
% if they are even or odd
for d = 1:(2*n-1)
if floor(d/2)==d/2
% even, count down
array2add = array2add + diag(1:numElementsPerDiagonal(d),d-n);
else
% odd, count up
array2add = array2add + diag(numElementsPerDiagonal(d):-1:1,d-n);
end
end
% now flip to get the result
indexMatrix = fliplr(array2add)
result =
1 2 6
3 5 7
4 8 9
Afterward, you just call reshape(image(indexMatrix),[],1) to get the vector of reordered elements.
EDIT
Ok, from your comment it looks like you need to use sort like Marc suggested.
indexMatrixT = indexMatrix'; % ' SO formatting
[dummy,sortedIdx] = sort(indexMatrixT(:));
sortedIdx =
1 2 4 7 5 3 6 8 9
Note that you'd need to transpose your input matrix first before you index, because Matlab counts first down, then right.
Assuming X to be the input 2D matrix and that is square or landscape-shaped, this seems to be pretty efficient -
[m,n] = size(X);
nlim = m*n;
n = n+mod(n-m,2);
mask = bsxfun(#le,[1:m]',[n:-1:1]);
start_vec = m:m-1:m*(m-1)+1;
a = bsxfun(#plus,start_vec',[0:n-1]*m);
offset_startcol = 2- mod(m+1,2);
[~,idx] = min(mask,[],1);
idx = idx - 1;
idx(idx==0) = m;
end_ind = a([0:n-1]*m + idx);
offsets = a(1,offset_startcol:2:end) + end_ind(offset_startcol:2:end);
a(:,offset_startcol:2:end) = bsxfun(#minus,offsets,a(:,offset_startcol:2:end));
out = a(mask);
out2 = m*n+1 - out(end:-1:1+m*(n-m+1));
result = X([out2 ; out(out<=nlim)]);

Let's assume for a moment that you have a 2-D matrix that's the same size as your image specifying the correct index. Call this array idx; then the matlab commands to reorder your image would be
[~,I] = sort (idx(:)); %sort the 1D indices of the image into ascending order according to idx
reorderedim = im(I);
I don't see an obvious solution to generate idx without using for loops or recursion, but I'll think some more.

Matlab: sorting a matrix in a unique way

I have a problem with sorting some finance data based on firmnumbers. So given is a matrix that looks like:
[1 3 4 7;
1 2 7 8;
2 3 7 8;]
On Matlab i would like the matrix to be sorted as follows:
[1 0 3 4 7 0;
1 2 0 0 7 8;
0 2 3 0 7 8;]
So basically every column needs to consist of 1 type of number.
I have tried many things but i cant get the matrix sorted properly.
A = [1 3 4 7;
1 2 7 8;
2 3 7 8;]
%// Get a unique list of numbers in the order that you want them to appear as the new columns
U = unique(A(:))'
%'//For each column (of your output, same as columns of U), find which rows have that number. Do this by making A 3D so that bsxfun compares each element with each element
temp1 = bsxfun(#eq,permute(A,[1,3,2]),U)
%// Consolidate this into a boolean matrix with the right dimensions and 1 where you'll have a number in your final answer
temp2 = any(temp1,3)
%// Finally multiply each line with U
bsxfun(#times, temp2, U)
So you can do that all in one line but I broke it up to make it easier to understand. I suggest you run each line and look at the output to see how it works. It might seem complicated but it's worthwhile getting to understand bsxfun as it's a really useful function. The first use which also uses permute is a bit more tricky so I suggest you first make sure you understand that last line and then work backwards.
What you are asking can also be seen as an histogram
A = [1 3 4 7;
1 2 7 8;
2 3 7 8;]
uniquevalues = unique(A(:))
N = histc(A,uniquevalues' ,2) %//'
B = bsxfun(#times,N,uniquevalues') %//'
%// bsxfun can replace the following instructions:
%//(the instructions are equivalent only when each value appears only once per row )
%// B = repmat(uniquevalues', size(A,1),1)
%// B(N==0) = 0
Answer without assumptions - Simplified
I did not feel comfortable with my old answer that makes the assumption of everything being an integer and removed the possibility of duplicates, so I came up with a different solution based on #lib's suggestion of using a histogram and counting method.
The only case I can see this not working for is if a 0 is entered. you will end up with a column of all zeros, which one might interpret as all rows initially containing a zero, but that would be incorrect. you could uses nan instead of zeros in that case, but not sure what this data is being put into, and if it that processing would freak out.
EDITED
Includes sorting of secondary matrix, B, along with A.
A = [-1 3 4 7 9; 0 2 2 7 8.2; 2 3 5 9 8];
B = [5 4 3 2 1; 1 2 3 4 5; 10 9 8 7 6];
keys = unique(A);
[counts,bin] = histc(A,transpose(unique(A)),2);
A_sorted = cell(size(A,1),1);
for ii = 1:size(A,1)
for jj = 1:numel(keys)
temp = zeros(1,max(counts(:,jj)));
temp(1:counts(ii,jj)) = keys(jj);
A_sorted{ii} = [A_sorted{ii},temp];
end
end
A_sorted = cell2mat(A_sorted);
B_sorted = nan(size(A_sorted));
for ii = 1:size(bin,1)
for jj = 1:size(bin,2)
idx = bin(ii,jj);
while ~isnan(B_sorted(ii,idx))
idx = idx+1;
end
B_sorted(ii,idx) = B(ii,jj);
end
end
B_sorted(isnan(B_sorted)) = 0
You can create at the beginning a matrix with 9 columns , and treat the values in your original matrix as column indexes.
A = [1 3 4 7;
1 2 7 8;
2 3 7 8;]
B = zeros(3,max(A(:)))
for i = 1:size(A,1)
B(i,A(i,:)) = A(i,:)
end
B(:,~any(B,1)) = []

issue with sub2ind and matrix of matrix in matlab with images

I here by post the code why I came across while exploring one technique.
Y = repmat((1:m)', [1 n]);
X = repmat(1:n, [m 1]) - labels_left;
X(X<1) = 1;
indices = sub2ind([m,n],Y,X);
final_labels = labels_left;
final_labels(abs(labels_left - labels_right(indices))>=1) = -1;
In above code labels left is single channel image.[m n] is the size of that image. I want to know how this sub2ind works in above code.And Iam also facing problem in the last statement which contains
labels_right(indices)
what the above expression evaluates to.Here labels right is also an image
Maybe a smaller example could help understand:
%# image matrix
M = rand(4,3)
[m n] = size(M)
%# meshgrid, and convert to linear indices
[X,Y] = meshgrid(1:n,1:m)
indices = sub2ind([m,n],Y,X)
%# extract those elements
M(indices)
The matrix M:
>> M
M =
0.95717 0.42176 0.65574
0.48538 0.91574 0.035712
0.80028 0.79221 0.84913
0.14189 0.95949 0.93399
the grid of (x,y) coordinates of all points:
>> X,Y
X =
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
Y =
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
4 4 4
converted to linear indices:
>> indices
indices =
1 5 9
2 6 10
3 7 11
4 8 12
then we index into the matrix using those indices.
>> M(indices)
ans =
0.95717 0.42176 0.65574
0.48538 0.91574 0.035712
0.80028 0.79221 0.84913
0.14189 0.95949 0.93399
Note that: M(indices(i,j)) = M(Y(i,j)),X(i,j)).

Select rolling rows without a loop

I have a question.
Suppose I have matrix
A =
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12
I need to select n rolling rows from A and transpose elements in new matrix C in rows.
The loop that I use is:
n = 3; %for instance every 3 rows of A
B = [];
for i = 1:n
Btemp = transpose(A(i:i+size(A,1)-n,:));
B = [B;Btemp];
end
C=B';
and that produces matrix C which is:
C =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
This is what i want too do, but can I do the same job without the loop?
It takes 4 minutes to calculate for an A matrix of 3280x35 size.
I think you can make it work very fast if you make initialization. And one other trick is to take the transpose first, since MATLAB uses columns as first index instead of rows.
tic
A = reshape(1:3280*35,[3280 35])'; %# Generate an example A
[nRows, nCols] = size(A);
n = 3; %for instance every 3 rows of A
B = zeros(nRows-n+1,nCols*n);
At = A';
for i = 1:size(B,1)
B(i,:) = reshape(At(:,i:i+n-1), [1 nCols*n]);
end
toc
The elapsed time is
Elapsed time is 0.004059 seconds.
I would not use reshape in the loop, but transform A first to one single row (actually a column will also work, doesn't matter)
Ar = reshape(A',1,[]); % the ' is important here!
then the selecting of elements out of Ar is really simple:
[nrows, ncols] = size(A);
new_ncols = ncols*n;
B = zeros(nrows-(n-1),new_ncols);
for ii = 1:nrows-(n-1)
B(ii,:) = Ar(n*(ii-1)+(1:new_ncols));
end
Still, the preallocation of B, gives you the largest improvement: more info at http://www.mathworks.nl/help/techdoc/matlab_prog/f8-784135.html
I don't have Matlab on me right now but I think you can do this without loops like this:
reshape(permute(cat(A(1:end-1,:),A(2:end,:),3),[3,2,1]), [2, size(A,2)*(size(A,1) - 1)]);
and in fact won't this do what you want?:
A1 = A(1:end-1,:);
A2 = A(2:end,:);
answer = [A1(:) ; A2(:)]
