Sample text

1 Vector Quantization Vector quantization is a general term that can be associated with signal processing, data compression, and clustering. Here we will focus on the clustering component, starting with how to feed data to the vq package in order to identify clusters. kmeans(data, 3) # The identified variable contains the information # we need to separate the points in clusters # based on the vq function. vq(data, centroids) # Retrieving coordinates for points in each vq # identified core vqc1 = data[identified == 0] vqc2 = data[identified == 1] vqc3 = data[identified == 2] The result of the identified clusters matches up quite well to the original data, as shown in Figure 3-13 (the generated cluster data is on the left and the vq-identified clusters are the on the right).

How does scikit-image fare with real-world research problems? Quite well, in fact. In astronomy, the flux per unit area received from stars can be measured in images by quantifying intensity levels at their locations—a process called photometry. Photometry has been done for quite some time in multiple programming languages, but there is no de facto package for Python yet. The first step in photometry is identifying the stars. In the following example, we will use is_local_maximum to identify sources (hopefully stars) in a stellar cluster called NGC 3603 that was observed with the Hubble Space Telescope.

So how do we set up SciPy to give us these distributions? pdf 36 10/31/12 2:35 PM Figure 3-12. A sample of 20 continuous distributions in SciPy. we demonstrate how to access the distribution. pdf 37 10/31/12 2:35 PM # Here set up the parameters for the normal distribution, # where loc is the mean and scale is the standard deviation. cdf(x) # Here we draw out 500 random values from the norm. rvs(500) The distribution can be centered at a different point and scaled with the options loc and scale as shown in the example.
