I've been trying to create a watershed algorithm and as all the examples seem to be in Python I've run into a bit of a wall. I've been trying to find in numpy documentation what this line means:
matrixVariable[A==255] = 0
but have had no luck. Could anyone explain what that operation does?
For context the line in action: label [lbl == -1] = 0
The expression A == 255
creates a boolean array which is True
where x == 255 in A and False
otherwise.
The expression matrixVariable[A==255] = 0
sets each index corresponding to a True
value in A == 255 to 0.
EG:
import numpy as np
A = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
B = np.zeros([3, 3])
print('before:')
print(B)
B[A>5] = 5
print('after:')
print(B)
OUT:
[[ 0. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 0.]]
after:
[[ 0. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 5.]
[ 5. 5. 5.]]
I assumed that matrixVariable and A are numpy arrays. If the assumption is correct then "matrixVariable[A==255] = 0" expression first gets the index of the array A where values of A are equal to 255 then gets the values of matrixVariable for those index and set them to "0"
Example:
import numpy as np
matrixVariable = np.array([(1, 3),
(2, 2),
(3,1)])
A = np.array([255, 1,255])
So A[0] and A[2] are equal to 255
matrixVariable[A==255]=0 #then sets matrixVariable[0] and matrixVariable[2] to zero
print(matrixVariable) # this would print
[[0 0]
[2 2]
[0 0]]
