[Numpy-discussion] Job opportunity working with python
Good evening fellow Numpy-ers! I sent an email a while ago about a employment opportunity at Argonne National Laboratory but I think I sent it from the wrong address so it bounced. We are seeking to hire some one to work on a python based toolkit for working with scanning weather radar. The main role for this person will be to find novel ways of working with large radar based data sets, probably writing code in C, C++ and Fortran to make advanced modules available in Python. Working with communities such as this will be encouraged in this new position. Argonne is a multidisciplinary lab in the Chicago burbs.. once you get over the cold winters you will enjoy good parks, schools and easy access to Chicago! Take a look at the description here: http://www.arm.gov/news/jobs/post/18955 and use the PD to apply here: http://web.anl.gov/jobsearch/detail.jsp?userreqid=319854+EVS&lsBrowse=ALL Basically you can read the job description as: This person will build and maintain a scikit for working with weather radars… Thanks for your time, Scott --- Dr Scott Collis ARM Precipitation Radar Translator Environmental Sciences Division Argonne National Laboratory Mb: +1 630 235 8025 Of: +1 630 252 0550 http://radar.arm.gov ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
[Numpy-discussion] feature tracking in numpy/scipy
Good afternoon list, I am looking at feature tracking in a 2D numpy array, along the lines of Dixon and Wiener 1993 (for tracking precipitating storms) Identifying features based on threshold is quite trivial using ndimage.label b_fld=np.zeros(mygrid.fields['rain_rate_A']['data'].shape) rr=10 b_fld[mygrid.fields['rain_rate_A']['data'] > rr]=1.0 labels, numobjects = ndimage.label(b_fld[0,0,:,:]) (note mygrid.fields['rain_rate_A']['data'] is dimensions time,height, y, x) using the matplotlib contouring and fetching the vertices I can get a nice list of polygons of rain rate above a certain threshold… Now from here I can just go and implement the Dixon and Wiener methodology but I thought I would check here first to see if anyone know of a object/feature tracking algorithm in numpy/scipy or using numpy arrays (it just seems like something people would want to do!).. i.e. something that looks back and forward in time and identifies polygon movement and identifies objects with temporal persistence..

Re: [Numpy-discussion] "Become an Open Source Contributor" workshop
Hey Jamie, List, Having just come back from a conference where our toolkit, Py-ART [1] has picked up a nice following of people keen to contribute I was wondering if you will be opening this up via a google hangout or similar? I would love to advertise this to our users. We all want more contributors and a big roadblock is understanding the fork and pull request system of GitHub We did run a course that had some GitGub etc here: https://github.com/scollis/SusSoPrac You are welcome to use anything liberally!

The Data Science Student Society of the University of California San Diego, or DS3 @ UCSD as they like to call themselves, will be holding biweekly Python themed workshops starting this fall. On the week of October 19th, they will be having yours truly doing a "Become an Open Source Contributor" piece. It will be a shortish event, 60-90 minutes, so my idea was to cover the following: 1. (15 min) An introduction to the Python data science landscape. 2. (30 min) An overview of the GitHub workflow that most (all?) of the projects follow. 3. (30-45 min) A hands on session, where we would make sure everyone gets set up in GitHub, and forks and clones their favorite project. Time and participant willingness permitting, I would like to take advantage of my commit bits, and have some of the participants submit a simple PR, e.g. fixing a documentation typo, to NumPy or SciPy, and hit the green button right there, so that they get to leave as knighted FOSS contributors. And this is what I am hoping to get from you, the community: 1. If anyone in the area would like to get involved, please contact me. I have recruited a couple of volunteers from PySanDiego, but could use more help. 2. I'm also hoping to get some help, especially with the introductory part. Given that the crowd will mostly be university students and some faculty, it would be great if someone who actually knew what they were talking about could deliver a short, 10 minute talk, on Python, data science, and academia. I'm sure we could arrange it to have someone join by video conference. 3. If you have organized anything similar in the past, and have material that I could use to, ahem, draw inspiration from, or recommendations to make, or whatever, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading! Jaime ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org https://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
