Lets say I have an array:
>>> arr = np.array(range(9)).reshape(3, 3)
>>> arr
array([[0, 1, 2],
[3, 4, 5],
[6, 7, 8]])
I would like to create a function f(arr, shape=(2, 2))
that takes the array and a shape, and splits the array into chunks of the given shape without padding. Thus, by overlapping certain parts if necessary. For example:
>>> f(arr, shape=(2, 2))
array([[[[0, 1],
[3, 4]],
[[1, 2],
[4, 5]]],
[[[3, 4],
[6, 7]],
[[4, 5],
[7, 8]]]])
I managed to creates to output above with np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided(arr, shape=(2, 2, 2, 2), strides=(24, 8, 24, 8))
. But I don't know how to generalize this for to all arrays and all chunk sizes.
Preferably, for 3D arrays.
If no overlap is necessary, it should avoid that. Another example:
>>> arr = np.array(range(16).reshape(4,4)
>>> arr
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14, 15]])
>>> f(arr, shape=(2,2))
array([[[[0, 1],
[4, 5]],
[[2, 3],
[6, 7]]],
[[[8, 9],
[12, 13]],
[[10, 11],
[14, 15]]]])
skimage.util.view_as_blocks
comes close, but requires that the array and block shape are compatible.
