regionprops_3D

This is similar to the regionprops in scikit-image but has some extra features that are relevant to 3D images. Note that the scikit-image version has been adding 3D capabilities, make the PoreSpy version less useful.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import scipy.ndimage as spim

import porespy as ps

ps.visualization.set_mpl_style()

im = ~ps.generators.random_spheres(shape=[80, 80, 80], r=10, clearance=3)
plt.imshow(im[20, ...], origin='lower', interpolation='none');

We need to label each sphere so they are recognized as individual regions:

regions = spim.label(im)[0]
plt.imshow(regions[20, ...], origin='lower', interpolation='none');

props = ps.metrics.regionprops_3D(regions)

props is a list of RegionProperties objects, subclassed from scikit-image. Each RegionProperties object possess the properties as attributes. Note that these are calculated on demand, so the regionsprops_3D function appears very quick, but the work has not yet been done.

props

[<porespy.metrics._regionprops.RegionPropertiesPS at 0x7f789b9ee8a0>]

The properties of regions 1 are on the RegionsProperties object located at position 0 in the props list:

for d in dir(props[0]):
    if not d.startswith('_'):
        print(d)

Let’s check a few of the properties:

print(props[0].volume)

418551.0

Because the present function is meant for 3D images, we have added specific terminology, like volume, instead of allowing area to mean volume like the scikit-image version”

print(props[0].area)

418551.0

We do have a surface_area, which is also specific to 3D objects:

print(props[0].surface_area)

21823.126953125

In addition to scalar metrics, we also provide access to useful images of the region:

plt.imshow(props[0].dt[5, ...]);
