How to use

How often do you find yourself debugging NumPy code? You dump your variable to the cell output, and see this:

numbers

array([[[-0.3541, -0.1975, -0.6715],
        [-0.3369, -0.1975, -0.9853],
        ...,
        [-0.4739, -0.3725, -0.689 ],
        [ 2.2489,  2.4111,  2.396 ]],

       [[-0.4054, -0.25  , -0.7238],
        [-0.4226, -0.2325, -1.0724],
        ...,
        [-0.8507, -0.6702, -1.0201],
        [ 2.1633,  2.3585,  2.3263]],

       ...,

       [[-0.8507, -0.3901, -1.1944],
        [-0.7822, -0.2325, -1.4559],
        ...,
        [-1.5014, -1.2304, -1.4733],
        [ 2.1804,  2.4111,  2.4308]],

       [[-0.8335, -0.4076, -1.2293],
        [-0.8164, -0.285 , -1.5256],
        ...,
        [-1.5528, -1.2829, -1.5256],
        [ 2.1119,  2.341 ,  2.3611]]], dtype=float32)

Was it really useful for you, as a human, to see all these numbers?

What is the shape? The size?
What are the statistics?
Are any of the values nan or inf?
Is it an image of a man holding a tench?

Now in .rgb color

The important queston - is it our man?

lo(numbers).rgb

Maaaaybe? Looks like someone normalized him.

in_stats = ( (0.485, 0.456, 0.406),     # mean
             (0.229, 0.224, 0.225) )    # std

# numbers.rgb(in_stats, cl=True) # For channel-last input format
lo(numbers).rgb(denorm=in_stats)

It’s indeed our hero, the Tenchman!

See the .chans

# .chans will map values betwen [-1,1] to colors.
# Make our values fit into that range to avoid clipping.
mean = np.array(in_stats[0])
std = np.array(in_stats[1])
numbers_01 = (numbers*std + mean).clip(0,1)
lo(numbers_01)

Grouping

# Make 8 images with progressively higher brightness and stack them 2x2x2.

                     *np.array(in_stats[1])
                     +np.array(in_stats[0])
