Numpy fastest 3D to 2D projection

Question

I have a 3D array of binary data. I want to project this to 3 2D images - side on, head on, birds eye.

I have written the code:

for x in range(data.s         


        

Answer 1

Some time back I wrote the below as a visualization aid for 3D arrays. Was also a good learning exercise.

# Python 2.7.10
from __future__ import print_function
from numpy import *

def f_Print3dArray(a_Array):
    v_Spacing = (len(str(amax(abs(a_Array)))) + 1) if amin(a_Array)\
        < 0 else (len(str(amax(a_Array))) + 1)
    for i in a_Array[:,:,::-1].transpose(0,2,1):
        for index, j in enumerate(i):
            print(" " * (len(i) - 1 - index) + "/ ", end="")
            for k in j:
                print(str(k).ljust( v_Spacing + 1), end="")
            print("/")
        print()

a_Array = arange(27).reshape(3, 3, 3)
print(a_Array)
print()

f_Print3dArray(a_Array)

Converts this:

[[[ 0  1  2]
  [ 3  4  5]
  [ 6  7  8]]

 [[ 9 10 11]
  [12 13 14]
  [15 16 17]]

 [[18 19 20]
  [21 22 23]
  [24 25 26]]]

To this:

  / 2   5   8   /
 / 1   4   7   /
/ 0   3   6   /

  / 11  14  17  /
 / 10  13  16  /
/ 9   12  15  /

  / 20  23  26  /
 / 19  22  25  /
/ 18  21  24  /

Hope it helps someone.
