From cd4341972f59e23590326cf09f26f887a5f03060 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Gilly Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:16:11 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Speed up rhef via sort-and-group inner loop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The per-radial-bin filter loop in rhef rebuilt a (map_r >= lo & map_r < hi) mask on every iteration, scanning all N pixels per bin. At lp_size=4096 with 2048 bins that meant ~33 G boolean operations just to assign pixels to bins, before any ranking happened — the dominant cost. Replace with a single sort-and-group pass: - One searchsorted on the bin lower edges gives every pixel its bin index in O(N log B). - One stable argsort groups same-bin pixels into contiguous slices. - The per-bin ranking step is then identical to the old code, just indexed into the sorted-slice view instead of via a boolean mask. Output is byte-identical to the original implementation across all three ranking methods (scipy, numpy, inplace) and across application_radius, upsilon, and overlapping-bin configurations — verified by a new test_rhef_matches_reference_loop equivalence suite that re-implements the old per-bin loop inline as the oracle. Total wall-clock improvement at 4096^2 in the upstream API (where the WCS pixel-to-world lookup in find_pixel_radii / blackout_pixels_above_radius remains a constant fixed cost): roughly 2x at 256 bins, 4.5x at 720 bins, 10x at 2048 bins. Inner-loop-only speedup is much higher; the WCS step is the next bottleneck and a candidate for a follow-up PR.

The CI matrix runs ``py314-devdeps`` against the dev wheel, so the warning is being raised in ``sunkit_image.stara`` and pytest's ``filterwarnings = error`` config promotes it to a failure (already failing on ``main`` at the time of this commit, blocking unrelated PRs). Pass ``mode='reflect'`` explicitly to lock in the historical behaviour; the value is the current default so existing call sites are unchanged. This is a drive-by fix included in this PR only because the failing test ``test_stara`` blocks the upstream CI matrix. --- sunkit_image/stara.py | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sunkit_image/stara.py b/sunkit_image/stara.py index 80a0dcce..62489f00 100644 --- a/sunkit_image/stara.py +++ b/sunkit_image/stara.py @@ -1,3 +1,6 @@ +import inspect +import warnings + import numpy as np import skimage from skimage.filters import median @@ -14,6 +17,12 @@ else: from skimage.morphology import footprint_rectangle +# ``mode`` was added to ``white_tophat`` after our minimum-supported skimage +# (0.20).
