SciPy Recipes

By: V Kishore Ayyadevara, Ruben Oliva Ramos

Overview of this book

With the SciPy Stack, you get the power to effectively process, manipulate, and visualize your data using the popular Python language. Utilizing SciPy correctly can sometimes be a very tricky proposition. This book provides the right techniques so you can use SciPy to perform different data science tasks with ease. This book includes hands-on recipes for using the different components of the SciPy Stack such as NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, and pandas, among others. You will use these libraries to solve real-world problems in linear algebra, numerical analysis, data visualization, and much more. The recipes included in the book will ensure you get a practical understanding not only of how a particular feature in SciPy Stack works, but also of its application to real-world problems. The independent nature of the recipes also ensure that you can pick up any one and learn about a particular feature of SciPy without reading through the other recipes, thus making the book a very handy and useful guide.

Mathematical imaging

In this section, we will cover mathematical imaging using some examples.

How to do it…

First, we need to consider the following points:

  • Mathematical imaging is a very broad field that is concerned with the treatment of images by representing them as mathematical objects. Depending on the goals, we have four subfields, image acquisition, image compression, image editing, and image analysis.
  • Image acquisition: The concern here is the effective representation of an object as an image. Clear examples are the digitalization of a photograph (that could be coded as a set of numerical arrays), or super-imposed information of the highest daily temperatures on a map (that could be coded as a discretization...
