Upcoming release

ODL 0.6.0 Release Notes (2017-04-20)

Besides many small improvements and additions, this release is the first one under the new Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0).

New features

  • The Kaczmarz method has been added to the solvers (PR 840).
  • Most immutable types now have a __hash__ method (PR 840).
  • A variant of the Conjugate Gradient solver for non-linear problems has been added (PR 554).
  • There is now an example for tomographic reconstruction using Total Generalized Variation (TGV). (PR 883).
  • Power spaces can now be created using the ** operator, e.g., odl.rn(3) ** 4. Likewise, product spaces can be created using multiplication *, i.e., odl.rn(3) * odl.rn(4) (PR 882).
  • A SamplingOperator for the extraction of values at given indices from arrays has been added, along with its adjoint WeightedSumSamplingOperator (PR 940).
  • Callbacks can now be composed with operators, which can be useful, e.g., for transforming the current iterate before displaying it (PR 954).
  • RayTransform (and thus also fbp_op) can now be directly used on spaces of complex functions (PR 970).

Improvements

  • In CallbackPrintIteration, a step number between displays can now be specified (PR 871).
  • OperatorPointwiseProduct got its missing derivative (PR 877).
  • SeparableSum functionals can now be indexed to retrieve the constituents (PR 898).
  • Better self-printing of callbacks (PR 881).
  • ProductSpaceOperator and subclasses now have size and __len__, and the parent also has shape. Also self-printing of these operators is now better (PR 901).
  • Arithmetic methods of LinearSpace have become more permissive in the sense that operations like space_element + raw_array now works if the array can be cast to an element of the same space (PR 902).
  • There is now a (work-in-progress) document on the release process with the aim to avoid errors (PR 872).
  • The MRC extended header implementation is now much simpler (PR 917).
  • The show_discrete_data workhorse is now more robust towards arrays with inf and nan entries regarding colorbar settings (PR 921).
  • The title in CallbackShow are now interpreted as format string with iteration number inserted, which enables updating the figure title in real time (PR 923).
  • Installation instructions have been arranged in a better way, grouped after different ways of installing (PR 884).
  • A performance comparison example pure ASTRA vs. ODL with ASTRA for 3d cone beam has been added (PR 912).
  • OperatorComp avoids an operator evaluation in derivative in the case when the left operator is linear (PR 957).
  • FunctionalComp now has a default implementation of gradient.derivative if the operator in the composition is linear (PR 956).
  • The saveto parameter of CallbackShow can now be a callable that returns the file name to save to when called on the current iteration number (PR 955).

Changes

  • The sphinxext submodule has been from upstream (PR 846).
  • The renames TensorGrid -> RectGrid and uniform_sampling -> uniform_grid have been made, and separate class RegularGrid has been removed in favor of treating regular grids as a special case of RectGrid. Instances of RectGrid have a new property is_uniform for this purpose. Furthermore, uniformity of RectPartition and RectGrid is exposed as property per axis using is_uniform_byaxis (PR 841).
  • extent of grids and partitions is now a property instead of a method (PR 889).
  • The number of iterations in solvers is no longer optional since the old default 1 didn’t make much sense (PR 888).
  • The nlevels argument of WaveletTransform is now optional, and the default is the maximum number of levels as determined by the new function pywt_max_nlevels (PR 880).
  • MatVecOperator is now called MatrixOperator and has been moved to the tensor_ops module. This solves a circular dependency issue with ODL subpackages (PR 911).
  • All step parameters of callbacks are now called just step (PR 929).
  • The impl name for the scikit-image back-end in RayTransform has been changed from scikit to skimage (PR 970).
  • ODL is now licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (PR 977).

ODL 0.5.2 Release Notes (2016-11-02)

Another maintenance release that fixes a number of issues with installation and testing, see issue 674, issue 679, and PR 692 and PR 696.

ODL 0.5.1 Release Notes (2016-10-24)

This is a maintenance release since the test suite was not bundled with PyPI and Conda packages as intended already in 0.5.0. From this version on, users can run python -c "import odl; odl.test()" with all types of installations (from PyPI, Conda or from source).

ODL 0.5.0 Release Notes (2016-10-21)

This release features a new important top level class Functional that is intended to be used in optimization methods. Beyond its parent Operator, it provides special methods and properties like gradient or proximal which are useful in advanced smooth or non-smooth optimization schemes. The interfaces of all solvers in odl.solvers have been updated to make use of functionals instead of their proximals, gradients etc. directly.

Further notable changes are the implementation of an as_writable_array context manager that exposes arbitrary array storage as writable Numpy arrays, and the generalization of the wavelet transform to arbitrary dimensions.

See below for a complete list of changes.

New features

  • Add Functional class to the solvers package. (PR 498) Functional is a subclass of odl Operator and intended to help in formulating and solving optimization problems. It contains optimization specific features like proximal and convex_conj, and built-in intelligence for handling things like translation, scaling of argument or scaling of functional. * Migrate all solvers to work with Functional‘s instead of raw proximals etc. (PR 587) * FunctionalProduct and FunctionalQuotient which allow evaluation of the product/quotient of functions and also provides a gradient through the Leibniz/quotient rules. (PR 586) * FunctionalDefaultConvexConjugate which acts as a default for Functional.convex_conj, providing it with a proximal property. (PR 588) * IndicatorBox and IndicatorNonnegativity which are indicator functions on a box shaped set and the set of nonnegative numbers, respectively. They return 0 if all points in a vector are inside the box, and infinity otherwise. (PR 589) * Add Functional``s for ``KullbackLeibler and KullbackLeiblerCrossEntropy, together with corresponding convex conjugates (PR 627). Also add proximal operator for the convex conjugate of cross entropy Kullback-Leibler divergence, called proximal_cconj_kl_cross_entropy (PR 561)
  • Add ResizingOperator for shrinking and extending (padding) of discretized functions, including a variety of padding methods. (PR 499)
  • Add as_writable_array that allows casting arbitrary array-likes to a numpy array and then storing the results later on. This is intended to be used with odl vectors that may not be stored in numpy format (like cuda vectors), but can be used with other types like lists. (PR 524)
  • Allow ASTRA backend to be used with arbitrary dtypes. (PR 524)
  • Add reset to SolverCallback that resets the callback to its initial state. (issue 552)
  • Add nonuniform_partition utility that creates a partition with non-uniformly spaced points. This is useful e.g. when the angles of a tomography problem are not exactly uniform. (PR 558)
  • Add Functional class to the solvers package. Functional is a subclass of odl Operator and intended to help in formulating and solving optimization problems. It contains optimization specific features like proximal and convex_conj, and built-in intelligence for handling things like translation, scaling of argument or scaling of functional. (PR 498)
  • Add FunctionalProduct and FunctionalQuotient which allow evaluation of the product/quotient of functions and also provides a gradient through the Leibniz/quotient rules. (PR 586)
  • Add FunctionalDefaultConvexConjugate which acts as a default for Functional.convex_conj, providing it with a proximal property. (PR 588)
  • Add IndicatorBox and IndicatorNonnegativity which are indicator functions on a box shaped set and the set of nonnegative numbers, respectively. They return 0 if all points in a vector are inside the box, and infinity otherwise. (PR 589)
  • Add proximal operator for the convex conjugate of cross entropy Kullback-Leibler divergence, called proximal_cconj_kl_cross_entropy (PR 561)
  • Add Functional‘s for KullbackLeibler and KullbackLeiblerCrossEntropy, together with corresponding convex conjugates (PR 627)
  • Add tutorial style example. (PR 521)

  • Add the Rosenbrock standard test functional. (PR 602)
  • Add broadcasting of vector arithmetic involving ProductSpace vectors. (PR 555)
  • Add phantoms.poisson_noise. (PR 630)
  • Add NumericalGradient and NumericalDerivative that numerically compute gradient and derivative of Operator‘s and Functional‘s. (PR 624)

Improvements

  • Add intelligence to power_method_opnorm so it can terminate early by checking if consecutive iterates are close. (PR 527)
  • Add BroadcastOperator(op, n), ReductionOperator(op, n) and DiagonalOperator(op, n) syntax. This is equivalent to BroadcastOperator(*([op] * n)) etc, i.e. create n copies of the operator. (PR 532)
  • Allow showing subsets of the whole volume in DiscreteLpElement.show. Previously this allowed slices to be shown, but the new version allows subsets such as 0 < x < 3 to be shown as well. (PR 574)
  • Add Solvercallback.reset() which allows users to reset a callback to its initial state. Applicable if users want to reuse a callback in another solver. (PR 553)
  • WaveletTransform and related operators now work in arbitrary dimensions. (PR 547)
  • Several documentation improvements. Including:
    • Move documentation from _call to __init__. (PR 549)

Changes

  • Change definition of LinearSpaceVector.multiply to match the definition used by Numpy. (PR 509)

  • Remove simple_operator since it was never used and did not follow the ODL style. (PR 543) The parameter padding_value is now called pad_const.
  • Remove Interval, Rectangle and Cuboid since they were confusing (Capitalized name but not a class) and barely ever used. Users should instead use IntervalProd in all cases. (PR 537)
  • The following classes have been renamed (PR 560):
    • LinearSpaceVector -> LinearSpaceElement
    • DiscreteLpVector -> DiscreteLpElement
    • ProductSpaceVector -> ProductSpaceElement
    • DiscretizedSetVector -> DiscretizedSetElement
    • DiscretizedSpaceVector -> DiscretizedSpaceElement
    • FunctionSetVector -> FunctionSetElement
    • FunctionSpaceVector -> FunctionSpaceElement
  • Change parameter style of differential operators from having a pad_mode and a separate edge_order argument that were mutually exclusive to a single pad_mode that covers all cases. Also added several new pad modes to the differential operators. (PR 548)
  • Switch from RTD documentation hosting to gh-pages and let Travis CI build and deploy the documentation. (PR 536)
  • Update name of proximal_zero to proximal_const_func. (PR 582)

ODL 0.3.0 Release Notes (2016-06-29)

This release marks the removal of odlpp from the core library. It has instead been moved to a separate library, odlcuda.

New features
