image processing - ImageHistogram with logarithmic y scale


ImageHistogram is much faster than Histogram with ImageData.


The only problem: I cannot find out how to make the y axis logarithmic. Is this possible?


I am using Mathematica 10.3.1.



Answer



Here is an answer from the Wolfram Technical Support:



Mathematica does not currently allow for an option for a logarithmic scale in ImageHistogram. However, taking apart the underlying structure, it is possible to rescale the data. The underlying structure is a GraphicsComplex, such that the following code should get you started on a workaround for your interests:




LogImageHistogram[input_Image, base_?NumericQ /; base >= 2] :=
Module[
{
imh = ImageHistogram[input], logdata
},
logdata = MapAt[
Log[#]/Log[base] &,
First@Cases[imh, GraphicsComplex[x_, y_] :> x, Infinity], {All, 2}
] /. Indeterminate -> -1;


(
imh /. GraphicsComplex[x_, y_] :> GraphicsComplex[logdata, y]
) /.
{
Rule[FrameTicks, x_] :> Rule
[
FrameTicks, {
{
{#, base^#} & /@ Range[1, 10] // N, None

}, {Automatic, Automatic}
}
],
Rule[PlotRange, x_] :> Rule[PlotRange, {0, Max[logdata]}]
}
]

This function takes two arguments,


1) the input image and


2) the logarithmic base with which to scale the y-axis.



This function isn't perfect because I only generate 10 tick marks, but these things can be adjusted by hand.


Also, because the GraphicsComplex contains some zeroes for the y-coordinates, I've artificially set these to -1 because the Log[0] is Indeterminate. You won't see these because the PlotRange starts at 0.


Show
[
LogImageHistogram[image, #],
BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Calibri", FontSize -> 20},
ImageSize -> 800
] & /@ {10, 2}

gives:

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
