numpy.dstack — NumPy v1.15 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy. dstack(tup)[source]

Stack arrays in sequence depth wise (along third axis).

This is equivalent to concatenation along the third axis after 2-D arrays of shape (M,N) have been reshaped to (M,N,1) and 1-D arrays of shape_(N,)_ have been reshaped to (1,N,1). Rebuilds arrays divided bydsplit.

This function makes most sense for arrays with up to 3 dimensions. For instance, for pixel-data with a height (first axis), width (second axis), and r/g/b channels (third axis). The functions concatenate, stack andblock provide more general stacking and concatenation operations.

Parameters: tup : sequence of arrays The arrays must have the same shape along all but the third axis. 1-D or 2-D arrays must have the same shape.
Returns: stacked : ndarray The array formed by stacking the given arrays, will be at least 3-D.

Examples

a = np.array((1,2,3)) b = np.array((2,3,4)) np.dstack((a,b)) array([[[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]]])

a = np.array([[1],[2],[3]]) b = np.array([[2],[3],[4]]) np.dstack((a,b)) array([[[1, 2]], [[2, 3]], [[3, 4]]])
