ImagePartition [image,s]
partitions an image into an array of ss-pixel subimages.
ImagePartition [image,{w,h}]
partitions an image into an array of subimages of pixel width w and pixel height h.
ImagePartition [image,{w,h},{dw,dh}]
uses pixel offsets dw and dh.

ImagePartition [image,s]
partitions an image into an array of ss-pixel subimages.
ImagePartition [image,{w,h}]
partitions an image into an array of subimages of pixel width w and pixel height h.
ImagePartition [image,{w,h},{dw,dh}]
uses pixel offsets dw and dh.
Details and Options
- ImagePartition returns an array of smaller overlapping or non-overlapping subimages.
- ImagePartition works with 2D and 3D images.
- ImagePartition by default picks out non-overlapping subimages.
- ImagePartition [image,s] generates as many ss subimages as possible, dropping incomplete subimages at the edges.
- ImagePartition [image,{s}] instead includes incomplete subimages at the edges.
- In ImagePartition [image,{wspec,hspec},…], the following forms can be used for wspec and hspec:
-
s allow only size s{smin,smax} allow any size smin through smax
- ImagePartition supports the option Padding .
- The default setting is Padding->None , which drops subimages at the edges whose sizes are not consistent with {wspec,hspec}.
