A demo of structured Ward hierarchical clustering on an image of coins#Compute the segmentation of a 2D image with Ward hierarchical clustering. The clustering is spatially constrained in order for each segmented region to be in one piece.

from skimage.data import coins orig_coins = coins()
Resize it to 20% of the original size to speed up the processing Applying a Gaussian filter for smoothing prior to down-scaling reduces aliasing artifacts.
import numpy as np from scipy.ndimage import gaussian_filter from skimage.transform import rescale smoothened_coins = gaussian_filter(orig_coins, sigma=2) rescaled_coins = rescale( smoothened_coins, 0.2, mode="reflect", anti_aliasing=False, ) X = np.reshape(rescaled_coins, (-1, 1))Define structure of the data#
Pixels are connected to their neighbors.
from sklearn.feature_extraction.image import grid_to_graph connectivity = grid_to_graph(*rescaled_coins.shape)Compute clustering#

Compute structured hierarchical clustering... Elapsed time: 0.161s Number of pixels: 4697 Number of clusters: 27Plot the results on an image#
Agglomerative clustering is able to segment each coin however, we have had to use a n_cluster
larger than the number of coins because the segmentation is finding a large in the background.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5)) plt.imshow(rescaled_coins, cmap=plt.cm.gray) for l in range(n_clusters): plt.contour( label == l, colors=[ plt.cm.nipy_spectral(l / float(n_clusters)), ], ) plt.axis("off") plt.show()
Total running time of the script: (0 minutes 0.345 seconds)
