Contando o número de grupos de 1s em um mapa booleano de numpy.array

16

Agora, estou lidando com algum processamento de imagem em Python via PIL (Python Image Library). Meu principal objetivo é contar o número de células coloridas em uma imagem imuno-histoquímica. Sei que existem programas, bibliotecas, funções e tutoriais relevantes sobre o assunto, e verifiquei quase todos eles. Meu principal objetivo é escrever o código manualmente do zero, o máximo possível. Por isso, estou tentando evitar o uso de muitas bibliotecas e funções externas. Eu escrevi a maior parte do programa. Então, aqui está o que está acontecendo passo a passo:

O programa recebe o arquivo de imagem: exemplo

E processa para os glóbulos vermelhos (basicamente, desativa os valores RGB abaixo de um certo limite para o vermelho): insira a descrição da imagem aqui

E cria o mapa booleano dele ((vai colar uma parte dele porque é grande), que basicamente coloca 1 onde quer que encontre um pixel vermelho na segunda imagem processada acima.

Eu intencionalmente gerei esse quadro como algo nas bordas com 2s para me ajudar a contar o número de grupos de 1s naquele mapa booleano.

Minha pergunta para vocês é: como é que eu posso contar com eficiência o número de células (grupos de 1s) nesse tipo de mapa booleano? Eu descobri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected-component_labeling que parecem extremamente relacionados e semelhantes, mas, tanto quanto vejo, é no nível de pixel. O meu está no nível booleano. Apenas 1s e 0s.

Muito obrigado.

A etiquetagem de componentes conectados é exatamente o que você precisa. Não sei por que você acha que é diferente, pois o artigo da Wikipedia também tem exemplos começando com matrizes de 1s e 0s.

Sei que parece semelhante (ou talvez seja o mesmo), mas não consigo entender completamente a página da Wikipedia, pois o inglês não é minha língua nativa. A parte "Algoritmo sequencial" da página parece lidar com 1s e 0s, mas ainda não vi a lógica por trás disso. Forex, por que começa verificando norte, nordeste, noroeste e oeste?

Este problema está resolvido.

E se as células de interesse estiverem sobrepostas? Você não deveria procurar especificamente por recursos circulares para diferenciar duas células que parecem conectadas, e não apenas encontrar blobs contínuos?

— Endolith

as coisas ficam muito mais complicadas quando as imagens imuno-histoquímicas que você tem são de má qualidade em termos de número de células sobrepostas, resolução, desvio padrão dos valores de pixel, tanto e mais forte ... Eu tenho tentado escrever um pequeno programa que funcione bem para tais fins, mas parece que a imagem de entrada e é condições são muito importantes para um resultado perfeito ..

Uma abordagem de força bruta, mas feita ao inverter o problema para indexar sobre coleções de pixels para encontrar regiões, em vez de rasterizar sobre a matriz.

uau ... eu não sei o que dizer. Muito legal. E totalmente funciona. Obrigado Paul.

Tanto trabalho nisso, quando já existe uma função para Scipyfazer isso, o que provavelmente é mais rápido também ^^ 'Mas provavelmente é um bom exercício de qualquer maneira e mostra como fazer isso em geral. Vou votar então.

Você pode usar ndimage.label, que é uma boa maneira de fazer isso. Ele retorna uma nova matriz, com todos os recursos com um valor único e o número de recursos. Você também pode especificar um elemento de conexão.

import scipy
from scipy import ndimage
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#flatten to make greyscale, using your second red-black image as input.
im = scipy.misc.imread('blobs.jpg',flatten=1)
#smooth and threshold as image has compression artifacts (jpg)
im = ndimage.gaussian_filter(im, 2)
im[im<10]=0
blobs, number_of_blobs = ndimage.label(im)
print 'Number of blobls:', number_of_blobs

plt.imshow(blobs)
plt.show()

#Output is:
Number of blobls: 30

Obrigado Fraxel. Isso funciona totalmente como uma solução rápida e suja, mas talvez eu deva melhorar a qualidade da imagem, pois como você pode ver, existem muitas células mescladas. A resposta deve ser 30 células. Muito obrigado mais uma vez. (edit: Eu tentei melhorar a qualidade da resolução da imagem e depois a borrou com seu código, mas ele ainda mescla muitas células. Deve ser da mesma forma que achatar = 1 ou ler) funciona?)

@Ibrahim C. Kurt - eu atualizei para corrigir isso (eu só notei!). O problema era que a imagem carregada era jpg, e havia muitos artefatos. Pequena quantidade de suavização e limiarizar resolve isso .. deve funcionar perfeitamente para png imagem (eu acho ...)

sem a necessidade de suavização e limiarização.

Isso funciona totalmente. Você está certo. Sem a necessidade de qualquer modificação adicional, basta alterá-lo para png de jpg é suficiente. Muito obrigado. Eu tenho mais de 2 respostas perfeitas agora. Não sei o que fazer e dizer: D

@Ibrahim C.Kurt - lucky you;)

Aqui está um algoritmo que é O (número total de pixels + número de pixels da célula). Simplesmente digitalizamos a imagem em busca de pixels da célula e, quando a encontramos, preenchemos a célula para apagá-la.

Implementação no Common Lisp, mas você poderá traduzi-lo para o Python trivialmente.

Ei Pascal, muito obrigado pela resposta. Vejo que seu programa encontra a resposta correta de maneira muito limpa. O problema é que não tenho idéia sobre essa linguagem Common Lisp, mas tentarei descobrir isso e escrever um script semelhante em Python.

Mais um comentário extenso do que uma resposta:

Como @interjay sugeriu, em uma imagem binária, ou seja, na qual apenas duas cores estão presentes, os pixels assumem o valor 1 ou 0. Isso pode ou não ser verdade no formato de representação de imagem que você está usando, mas é verdade na representação "conceitual" da sua imagem; não deixe que os detalhes da implementação o confundam sobre esse problema. Um desses detalhes de implementação é o uso de 2s na borda da imagem - uma maneira perfeitamente sensata de identificar a zona morta ao redor da imagem, mas não afetando qualitativamente o binário da imagem.

Quanto ao exame dos pixels N, NE, NW e W: trata-se da conectividade dos pixels na formação do componente. Cada pixel (com exceção dos casos especiais da borda) tem 8 vizinhos (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW), mas quais são candidatos à inclusão no mesmo componente? Às vezes, os componentes que se encontram apenas nos cantos (NE, NW, SE, SW) não são considerados conectados, às vezes são.

Você precisa decidir o que é apropriado para sua aplicação. Sugiro que você trabalhe, manualmente, algumas operações do algoritmo seqüencial, verificando vizinhos diferentes para cada pixel, para ter uma ideia do que está acontecendo.
