image processing - How to create a 1D vector by selecting a straight line in a given angle of 2D array


Suppose I have an image created by the code provided below. I want to select a line (1D vector) $ \left(y-y_{0}\right)=n\left(x-x_{0}\right) $ from the output image (2D matrix) by specifying $n$ and $\left(x_{0},y_{0}\right)$. Can anyone explain how to do this?


Code:


w1 = 600;
w2 = 600;
mask = Sum[
RotateRight[
Exp[I k] DiskMatrix[20, {w1, w2}], {k 100, k 200 }], {k, 2}] +
Exp[I 5] DiskMatrix[20, {w1, w2}] +

Sum[RotateLeft[Exp[I k] DiskMatrix[20, {w1, w2}], {k 200, k }], {k, 1}]
<< Developer`
Image[RotateRight[
Re[Fourier[mask]], {w1/2, w2/2}]\[TensorProduct]ToPackedArray[{1.0, 0.3, 0.1}], Magnification -> 0.4]

Answer



I'm sure you know that a line will almost never run through exact pixel positions. Therefore, you have two choices. First, you interpolate your image matrix and then you can sample as many points along the line as you like. In this case, I probably wouldn't recommend it because the values depend on the interpolation itself. Another, very easy way is to use an algorithm which is used draw an approximate line in a pixel grid.


Lucky for you we already had a post about his. Therefore, you can read in this answer how it is done and with the provided function, you will get the pixel coordinates along a line between points $p_0$ and $p_1$.


bresenham



bresenham[p0_, p1_] := 
Module[{dx, dy, sx, sy, err, newp}, {dx, dy} = Abs[p1 - p0];
{sx, sy} = Sign[p1 - p0];
err = dx - dy;
newp[{x_, y_}] :=
With[{e2 = 2 err}, {If[e2 > -dy, err -= dy; x + sx, x],
If[e2 < dx, err += dx; y + sy, y]}];
NestWhileList[newp, p0, # =!= p1 &, 1]]

and then you take your image and use ImageData to get the pixel matrix. The extraction of the diagonal image is as simple as



img = Import["http://i.stack.imgur.com/FQthc.png"];
Extract[ImageData[img], bresenham[{1, 1}, ImageDimensions[img]]]

Final note: pay attention that the image matrix is reversed to what you see in the image. I guess you can do the transformation of a line in two-point form and yours by yourself.

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
