Topic: BoundsError on using array mask


view this post on Zulip Markos Kapes (Apr 24 2024 at 03:05):

I'm trying to use a2d mask as a partial reference to a 4d, like so....
glcm[i, j, mask] = 1
mask is a 512x512 Boolean Array. But it gives the error....
BoundsError: attempt to access 8×8×512×512 Array{UInt8, 4} at index [1, 1, 512×512 BitMatrix]

So I tried it with a toy example.....

begin
levels = 8
h , w = 6, 6
glcm = zeros(UInt8, (levels, levels, h, w))
a = I(6) .== 1
glcm[1, 1, a] .= 1

end

and i don't get an error..... what am I missing here?

In the first example, you forgot the dot before the equal sign in the assignment

Thanks for catching that.... but it apparently wasn't the (only) problem... still coming up with BoundsError before it even gets to assignment....

I don't think you can do partial Boolean indexing in general. It seems like your toy example works thanks to peculiarities of the Diagonal type. For a workaround, you could try @view(glcm[i, j, :, :])[mask] .= 1.
