voltools 0.6.0

CUDA-accelerated 3D affine transformations for NumPy and CuPy

voltools

CUDA-accelerated numpy/cupy texture memory 3D affine transformations

Features

1. transforms module that offers CUDA-accelerated affine transforms for 3D numpy arrays:

import numpy as np
from voltools import transform

volume = np.random.random((200, 200, 200)).astype(np.float32)
transformed_volume = transform(volume, interpolation='filt_bspline', device='cpu',
                               translation=(10, 0, -10),
                               rotation=(0, 45, 0), rotation_units='deg', rotation_order='rzxz')

2. StaticVolume class optimized for multiple transformations of the same data. The data transfer is minimized (especially for GPU devices) to just the transformation matrix for each transformation.

import numpy as np
from voltools import StaticVolume

volume = StaticVolume(np.random.random((200, 200, 200)).astype(np.float32), interpolation='filt_bspline', device='gpu:0')
for i in range(0, 180):
    rotated_vol = volume.rotate(rotation=(0, i, 0), rotation_units='deg', rotation_order='rzxz', profile=True)

3. If you don't need to move data back from GPU to CPU, you can specify output=some_cupy_array keyword and the result of transformation will be saved there. Works for both transforms and StaticVolume. If output is not specified, methods will return a numpy array.

4. Support for different devices. Each method accepts device keyword with option cpu (default). However, if cupy is present, additional options include gpu (cupy auto-selects gpu) and gpu:X for each GPU (X is ID of GPU).

5. Various interpolations currently supported:

• linear, tri-linear interpolation
• bspline, cubic b-spline interpolation (optimized, 8 texture lookups)
• bspline_simple, cubic b-spline interpolation (simple implementation, 27 texture lookups)
• filt_bspline, prefiltered cubic b-spline interpolation (8 texture lookups)
• filt_bspline_simple, prefiltered cubic b-spline interpolation (27 texture lookups)

Installation

PIP: pip install voltools
Source: pip install git+https://github.com/the-lay/voltools

If you want to use use GPUs, please install cupy >= 7.0.0b4 (cupy installation guide).

TODO

• Tests
• Travis? Other CI?
• Visualizations? Some kind of easy to launch volume viewer.
• Return scripts back: projections
• Develop branch for cleaner separation of code

Notes

• CUDA cubic b-spline interpolation is based on Danny Ruijters's implementation
• Transformation matrices are based on Christoph Gohlike's transformations.py

Benchmark

Source: combination of different runs (device='cpu' and 'gpu', order=1 or 3, interpolation='linear' or 'filt_bspline_simple' or 'filt_bspline') of tests/benchmark.py
Results on laptop GTX1050Ti, i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, timings are in ms, first column is the size of volume

Linear interpolation (interpolation='linear')
