Normalise all elements in deep nested list Python












0















I have image data in the form of a deep nested list of ints:



len(train_data_imgs) = 3889       # number of images in set
len(train_data_imgs[0]) = 100 # height
len(train_data_imgs[0][0]) = 100 # width
len(train_data_imgs[0][0][0]) = 3 # these are ints - RGB pixel values


How can I iterate through these to normalise them between 0 and 1? Simply would require every number to be divided by 255.

  • What's wrong with dividing every value by 255?

  • You have 116.670.000 values, just the iteration alone will take about 10 seconds. Are your images in a format that allows bulk operations, such as numpy types?

Use NumPy package to do in a line:



# Assuming an image stored in a nested list | here NumPy array
lst = np.arange(27).reshape(3,3,3)
lst

array([[[ 0, 1, 2],
[ 3, 4, 5],
[ 6, 7, 8]],

[[ 9, 10, 11],
[12, 13, 14],
[15, 16, 17]],

[[18, 19, 20],
[21, 22, 23],
[24, 25, 26]]])

lst = lst/255 # That's what you should look for
lst

array([[[0. , 0.00392157, 0.00784314],

    The same advantage which NumPy can have over normal python list ;) Actually you can go ahead with normal list too. But what's the problem in knowing something better, especially when it's images. :)
