Numpy multidimensional advanced indexing












1














I have an array a with shape [3,x,y,z,n] (three 4d-images). And a second array b with shape [x,y,z] which contains the indices I want to choose from the first dimension of a (so the values of b are in the range 0 to 2).

The results I want to have would be of shape [x,y,z,n]. How can I do that in numpy?

          Using advanced-indexing -



          a[b,np.arange(x)[:,None,None],np.arange(y)[:,None],np.arange(z)]


          A shorter way to express that would be -



          a[tuple([b] + np.ogrid[:x,:y,:z])]


          Using NumPy builtin np.take_along_axis to perform advanced-indexing by doing the dirty work under the hoods -



          np.take_along_axis(a,b[None,...,None],axis=0)[0]
