[Numpy-discussion] Counting the Colors of RGB-Image

[Nadav Horesh]

im_flat = im0[...,0]*65536 + im[...,1]*256 +im[...,2]
colours = np.unique(im_flat)

Counting the Colors of RGB-Image,
nameit im0 with im0.shape = 2500,3500,3
with this code:

tab0 = zeros( (256,256,256) , dtype=int)
tt = im0.view()
tt.shape = -1,3
for r,g,b in tt:
 tab0[r,g,b] += 1

Question:

Is there a faster way in numpy to get this result?

Assuming that your image is made up of integer values (which I guess they'd have to be if you're indexing into `tab0`), then you could write:

>>> rgb_unique = set(tuple(rgb) for rgb in tt)

I'm not sure if it's any faster than your loop, but I would assume it is.
