Following Warrens answer a slight demonstration of code like this:

import numpy as np

def ds_0(data_in, t1= 1, t2= 4):

shape_out= (data_in.shape[0]/ 4, data_in.shape[1]/ 4)

found= np.zeros(shape_out).astype(np.bool)

for i in xrange(0, shape_out[0]):

for j in xrange(0, shape_out[1]):

excerpt= data_in[i* 4: (i+ 1)* 4, j* 4: (j+ 1)* 4]

mask= np.where((excerpt>= t1)& (excerpt<= t2), True, False)

if (np.any(mask)):

found[i, j]= True

return found

# with stride_tricks you may cook up something like this:

from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import as_strided as ast

def _ss(dt, ds, s):

return {'shape': (ds[0]/ s[0], ds[1]/ s[1])+ s,

'strides': (s[0]* dt[0], s[1]* dt[1])+ dt}

def _view(D, shape= (4, 4)):

return ast(D, **_ss(D.strides, D.shape, shape))

def ds_1(data_in, t1= 1, t2= 4):

# return _view(data_in)

excerpt= _view(data_in)

mask= np.where((excerpt>= t1)& (excerpt<= t2), True, False)

return mask.sum(2).sum(2).astype(np.bool)

 if __name__ == '__main__':

from numpy.random import randint

r= randint(777, size= (64, 288)); print r

print np.allclose(ds_0(r), ds_1(r))




My 2 cents,
eat
