# AlignmentTranslation¶

class menpo.transform.AlignmentTranslation(source, target)[source]

Bases: HomogFamilyAlignment, Translation

Constructs a Translation by finding the optimal translation transform to align source to target.

Parameters
aligned_source()

The result of applying self to source

Type

PointCloud

alignment_error()

The Frobenius Norm of the difference between the target and the aligned source.

Type

float

apply(x, batch_size=None, **kwargs)

Applies this transform to x.

If x is Transformable, x will be handed this transform object to transform itself non-destructively (a transformed copy of the object will be returned).

If not, x is assumed to be an ndarray. The transformation will be non-destructive, returning the transformed version.

Any kwargs will be passed to the specific transform _apply() method.

Parameters
• x (Transformable or (n_points, n_dims) ndarray) – The array or object to be transformed.

• batch_size (int, optional) – If not None, this determines how many items from the numpy array will be passed through the transform at a time. This is useful for operations that require large intermediate matrices to be computed.

• kwargs (dict) – Passed through to _apply().

Returns

transformed (type(x)) – The transformed object or array

apply_inplace(*args, **kwargs)

Deprecated as public supported API, use the non-mutating apply() instead.

For internal performance-specific uses, see _apply_inplace().

as_non_alignment()[source]

Returns a copy of this translation without its alignment nature.

Returns

transform (Translation) – A version of this transform with the same transform behavior but without the alignment logic.

as_vector(**kwargs)

Returns a flattened representation of the object as a single vector.

Returns

vector ((N,) ndarray) – The core representation of the object, flattened into a single vector. Note that this is always a view back on to the original object, but is not writable.

compose_after(transform)

A Transform that represents this transform composed after the given transform:

c = a.compose_after(b)
c.apply(p) == a.apply(b.apply(p))


a and b are left unchanged.

This corresponds to the usual mathematical formalism for the compose operator, o.

An attempt is made to perform native composition, but will fall back to a TransformChain as a last resort. See composes_with for a description of how the mode of composition is decided.

Parameters

transform (Transform) – Transform to be applied before self

Returns

transform (Transform or TransformChain) – If the composition was native, a single new Transform will be returned. If not, a TransformChain is returned instead.

compose_after_from_vector_inplace(vector)

Specialised inplace composition with a vector. This should be overridden to provide specific cases of composition whereby the current state of the transform can be derived purely from the provided vector.

Parameters

vector ((n_parameters,) ndarray) – Vector to update the transform state with.

compose_after_inplace(transform)

Update self so that it represents this transform composed after the given transform:

a_orig = a.copy()
a.compose_after_inplace(b)
a.apply(p) == a_orig.apply(b.apply(p))


a is permanently altered to be the result of the composition. b is left unchanged.

Parameters

transform (composes_inplace_with) – Transform to be applied before self

Raises

ValueError – If transform isn’t an instance of composes_inplace_with

compose_before(transform)

A Transform that represents this transform composed before the given transform:

c = a.compose_before(b)
c.apply(p) == b.apply(a.apply(p))


a and b are left unchanged.

An attempt is made to perform native composition, but will fall back to a TransformChain as a last resort. See composes_with for a description of how the mode of composition is decided.

Parameters

transform (Transform) – Transform to be applied after self

Returns

transform (Transform or TransformChain) – If the composition was native, a single new Transform will be returned. If not, a TransformChain is returned instead.

compose_before_inplace(transform)

Update self so that it represents this transform composed before the given transform:

a_orig = a.copy()
a.compose_before_inplace(b)
a.apply(p) == b.apply(a_orig.apply(p))


a is permanently altered to be the result of the composition. b is left unchanged.

Parameters

transform (composes_inplace_with) – Transform to be applied after self

Raises

ValueError – If transform isn’t an instance of composes_inplace_with

copy()

Generate an efficient copy of this HomogFamilyAlignment.

Returns

new_transform (type(self)) – A copy of this object

decompose()

A DiscreteAffine is already maximally decomposed - return a copy of self in a list.

Returns

transform (DiscreteAffine) – Deep copy of self.

from_vector(vector)

Build a new instance of the object from its vectorized state.

self is used to fill out the missing state required to rebuild a full object from it’s standardized flattened state. This is the default implementation, which is a deepcopy of the object followed by a call to from_vector_inplace(). This method can be overridden for a performance benefit if desired.

Parameters

vector ((n_parameters,) ndarray) – Flattened representation of the object.

Returns

transform (Homogeneous) – An new instance of this class.

from_vector_inplace(vector)

Deprecated. Use the non-mutating API, from_vector.

For internal usage in performance-sensitive spots, see _from_vector_inplace()

Parameters

vector ((n_parameters,) ndarray) – Flattened representation of this object

has_nan_values()

Tests if the vectorized form of the object contains nan values or not. This is particularly useful for objects with unknown values that have been mapped to nan values.

Returns

has_nan_values (bool) – If the vectorized object contains nan values.

classmethod init_from_2d_shear(phi, psi, degrees=True)

Convenience constructor for 2D shear transformations about the origin.

Parameters
• phi (float) – The angle of shearing in the X direction.

• psi (float) – The angle of shearing in the Y direction.

• degrees (bool, optional) – If True phi and psi are interpreted as degrees. If False, phi and psi are interpreted as radians.

Returns

shear_transform (Affine) – A 2D shear transform.

classmethod init_identity(n_dims)

Creates an identity transform.

Parameters

n_dims (int) – The number of dimensions.

Returns

identity (Translation) – The identity matrix transform.

pseudoinverse()

The pseudoinverse of the transform - that is, the transform that results from swapping source and target, or more formally, negating the transforms parameters. If the transform has a true inverse this is returned instead.

Returns

transform (type(self)) – The inverse of this transform.

pseudoinverse_vector(vector)

The vectorized pseudoinverse of a provided vector instance. Syntactic sugar for:

self.from_vector(vector).pseudoinverse().as_vector()


Can be much faster than the explict call as object creation can be entirely avoided in some cases.

Parameters

vector ((n_parameters,) ndarray) – A vectorized version of self

Returns

pseudoinverse_vector ((n_parameters,) ndarray) – The pseudoinverse of the vector provided

set_h_matrix(value, copy=True, skip_checks=False)

Deprecated Deprecated - do not use this method - you are better off just creating a new transform!

Updates h_matrix, optionally performing sanity checks.

Note that it won’t always be possible to manually specify the h_matrix through this method, specifically if changing the h_matrix could change the nature of the transform. See h_matrix_is_mutable for how you can discover if the h_matrix is allowed to be set for a given class.

Parameters
• value (ndarray) – The new homogeneous matrix to set.

• copy (bool, optional) – If False, do not copy the h_matrix. Useful for performance.

• skip_checks (bool, optional) – If True, skip checking. Useful for performance.

Raises

NotImplementedError – If h_matrix_is_mutable returns False.

set_target(new_target)

Update this object so that it attempts to recreate the new_target.

Parameters

new_target (PointCloud) – The new target that this object should try and regenerate.
