image processing - Measure a DensityHistogram[] pair similarity


I study human vision and more specifically eye-movements.


"If we display 2 symmetrical patterns (20 min one after the other), will our gaze distribution be symmetric is my research question."



The 2 figures at the bottom row below is what is displayed to subjects for 3 seconds. One pattern, then, later in the experiment, its symmetrical transform.


Above are their respective Gaze Density histograms. That is the distribution of where their eyes were while observing the stimuli. The Blue square is the Center Of Gravity of the stimuli.


How can I measure their similarity ? If I have some ideas, I think Mathematica offers great means of image analysis that could be used here.


enter image description here


You could find here the data : allSymFix : 93 sublist for the 93 stimuli pairs I present, along with a manipulate to see all the histograms


allSymFix[[1,1]] are all the gaze observed on stimuli 1 original version.
allSymFix[[1,2]] on its symmetrical transform


enter image description here


How can I measure the similarity within each allSymFix[[original stimuli]].


I will then compare it with the similarity computed on random pairs assembled




Answer



We'll use SmoothKernelDistribution. Correlated pair with left data set reflected around y-axis:


lefTimagE = SmoothKernelDistribution[{-1, 1} # & /@ allSymFix[[3, 1]]];
righTimagE = SmoothKernelDistribution[allSymFix[[3, 2]]];

Visualize in 3D:


  Row@Plot3D[Evaluate[#], {x, -13, 13}, {y, -13, 13}, PlotRange -> All,
  MeshFunctions -> {#3 &}, Mesh -> 15, PlotPoints -> 50] & /@ 
  {PDF[lefTimagE, {x, y}], PDF[lefTimagE, {x, y}] PDF[righTimagE, {x, y}], 
  PDF[righTimagE, {x, y}]}


enter image description here


The middle is overlap - notice small values. Integrate to find total characteristic


NIntegrate[Evaluate[PDF[lefTimagE, {x, y}] PDF[righTimagE, {x, y}]], 
{x, -13, 13}, {y, -13, 13}, Method -> "AdaptiveMonteCarlo"]

Random pair:


lefTimagE = SmoothKernelDistribution[{-1, 1} # & /@ allSymFix[[3, 1]]];
righTimagE = SmoothKernelDistribution[allSymFix[[15, 2]]];


Visualize in 2D this time for verity:


Row@ContourPlot[Evaluate[#], {x, -13, 13}, {y, -13, 13},PlotRange -> All, 
Mesh -> 15, PlotPoints -> 50] & /@ {PDF[lefTimagE, {x, y}], PDF[lefTimagE, 
{x, y}] PDF[righTimagE, {x, y}], PDF[righTimagE, {x, y}]}

enter image description here

NIntegrate[Evaluate[PDF[lefTimagE, {x, y}] PDF[righTimagE, {x, y}]], 
{x, -13, 13}, {y, -13, 13}, Method -> "AdaptiveMonteCarlo"]

I liked Andy's analysis of the whole set for his metric. I ran it for my integral metric too:


Correlated pairs:


coRdaT = Table[NIntegrate[Evaluate[PDF[SmoothKernelDistribution[{-1, 1} 
# & /@ allSymFix[[k, 1]]], {x, y}] PDF[SmoothKernelDistribution[
allSymFix[[k, 2]]], {x, y}]], {x, -13,13}, {y, -13, 13}, 
Method -> "AdaptiveMonteCarlo"] , {k, 1, 93}];

Random pairs:



uNcoRdaT = Table[NIntegrate[Evaluate[PDF[SmoothKernelDistribution[{-1, 1} 
# & /@ allSymFix[[k, 1]]], {x, y}] PDF[SmoothKernelDistribution[
allSymFix[[RandomInteger[{1, 93}], 2]]], {x, y}]], {x, -13, 13}, 
{y, -13, 13}, Method -> "AdaptiveMonteCarlo"] , {k, 1, 93}];

Analysis:


SmoothHistogram[{coRdaT, uNcoRdaT}, Filling -> Axis, 
PlotStyle -> {{Thick, Blue}, {Thick, Red}}]

enter image description here



Conclusion: on average integral of overlap for correlated pairs almost order of magnitude greater than for random pairs.


======= ARCHIVE: less reliable, needs-polishing approach =======


Here is a very simple take on this. If my understanding is correct, @500 wishes to see spatial correlation between left and right 2D patterns. I'll use SmoothDensityHistogram because it IMO gives better data representation in this case, but you can use your original approach too. The idea is to use ImageMultiply to "amplify" overlapping regions. Midle image is the overlap for a specific set of your data. Note it was ImageAdjust-ed for better visual perception. As numeric measure you have red number (computed before ImageAdjust for uniform scale) The red number is total "intensity" of overlap which could be some sort of correlation measure. BTW we also need to reflect one of the images around vertical axis, otherwise overlap will be meaningless. Here is correlated pair - data set 3, left and right images. As you can see the red number is high and the overlap does look like originals.


ili = SmoothDensityHistogram[#, Background -> Black, 
     ColorFunction -> GrayLevel, ImageSize -> 300, 
     PlotRange -> {{-13, 13}, {-13, 13}}, ImagePadding -> 0, 
     ImageMargins -> 0, PlotRangePadding -> 0, Mesh -> 0] & /@ 
   allSymFix[[3]];
il = {ImageReflect[ili[[1]], Left -> Right], ili[[2]]};
Framed@Labeled[GraphicsRow[Riffle[il, (cori = 

       ColorConvert[ImageMultiply @@ il, "Grayscale"]) // 
     ImageAdjust], Spacings -> 1], ImageData[cori] // Total // Total, 
  Top, LabelStyle -> Directive[Red, Bold, 20]]

enter image description here


And here is random pairing of set 3 left image and set 15 right image. As you can see the red number is much less and the overlap does not look like originals.


ili = SmoothDensityHistogram[#, Background -> Black, 
     ColorFunction -> GrayLevel, ImageSize -> 300, 
     PlotRange -> {{-13, 13}, {-13, 13}}, ImagePadding -> 0, 
     ImageMargins -> 0, PlotRangePadding -> 0, 

     Mesh -> 0] & /@ {allSymFix[[3, 1]], allSymFix[[15, 2]]};
il = {ImageReflect[ili[[1]], Left -> Right], ili[[2]]};
Framed@Labeled[GraphicsRow[Riffle[il, (cori = 
       ColorConvert[ImageMultiply @@ il, "Grayscale"]) // 
     ImageAdjust], Spacings -> 1], ImageData[cori] // Total // Total, 
  Top, LabelStyle -> Directive[Red, Bold, 20]]

enter image description here


A word of caution: Andy's good comment made me realize there are a few things to worry about here. Most impotently, in most cases our graphics resales the data before it passes them to ColorFunction. This means that for these different data sets their maximums will look same bright on the plots:


Max /@ {allSymFix[[3, 1]], allSymFix[[15, 2]]}

*Answer:* {10.466, 11.172}

This affects correct overlap estimates.

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.
