Synthetic data

The example generates and displays simple synthetic data.

Python source code: plot_synthetic_data.py

import numpy as np
from scipy import ndimage
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

np.random.seed(1)
n = 10
l = 256
im = np.zeros((l, l))
points = l*np.random.random((2, n**2))
im[(points[0]).astype(np.int), (points[1]).astype(np.int)] = 1
im = ndimage.gaussian_filter(im, sigma=l/(4.*n))

mask = im > im.mean()

label_im, nb_labels = ndimage.label(mask)

plt.figure(figsize=(9,3))

plt.subplot(131)
plt.imshow(im)
plt.axis('off')
plt.subplot(132)
plt.imshow(mask, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
plt.axis('off')

plt.axis('off')

plt.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.02, hspace=0.02, top=1, bottom=0, left=0, right=1)
