Find a 3x3 sliding window over an image

Question

I have an image.

I want to obtain a 3x3 window (neighbouring pixels) for every pixel in the image.

I have this Python code:

for x in range(2,         


        

Answer 1

Try the following code as matlab function im2col(...)

import numpy as np

def im2col(Im, block, style='sliding'):
    """block = (patchsize, patchsize)
        first do sliding
    """
    bx, by = block
    Imx, Imy = Im.shape
    Imcol = []
    for j in range(0, Imy):
        for i in range(0, Imx):
            if (i+bx <= Imx) and (j+by <= Imy):
                Imcol.append(Im[i:i+bx, j:j+by].T.reshape(bx*by))
            else:
                break
    return np.asarray(Imcol).T

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Im = np.reshape(range(6*6), (6,6))
    patchsize = 3
    print Im
    out =  im2col(Im, (patchsize, patchsize))
    print out
    print out.shape
    print len(out)
