UNET prediction

I use unet for image segmentation my question is what does below code mean

test_img_norm=test_img[:,:,0][:,:,None]

and

prediction_other = (model.predict(test_img_other_input)[0,:,:,0] > 0.2).astype(np.uint8)
Solution

  • test_img_norm=test_img[:,:,0][:,:,None]

    test_img[:,:,0]:

    This slices the test_img array to select the first channel (assuming test_img is a 3D array with shape (height, width, channels)). This operation extracts the first channel across all height and width dimensions, resulting in a 2D array of shape (height, width).

    [:,:,None]:

    This adds an additional dimension to the resulting 2D array. The None keyword is used to add a new axis, converting the 2D array back into a 3D array with shape (height, width, 1).

    Combining these operations, the code effectively extracts the first channel from the original 3D image and ensures the result is still a 3D array with the channel dimension restored. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where subsequent operations expect the data to have three dimensions, such as input to a convolutional neural network (CNN) which typically expects (height, width, channels).

    prediction_other = (model.predict(test_img_other_input)[0,:,:,0] > 0.2).astype(np.uint8)

    model.predict(test_img_other_input) generates the prediction for the input image.

    Extract First Image and Channel: [0,:,:,0] selects the first image in the batch and the first channel.

    Thresholding: > 0.2 converts the predicted values to a binary mask based on the threshold of 0.2. It will return True if condition is True otherwise False.
