strip

deeptrack.image.strip(element: Image | List | Tuple | Any) → Any

Recursively extract the underlying value from an Image object.

This function strips away the Image wrapper to return the underlying _value attribute. If the input is a list or tuple, it recursively processes each element, preserving the original structure. For other types, the input is returned unchanged.

Parameters

elementImage or List or Tuple or Any

The input to process.

Returns

Any

The stripped value. If element is an Image, its _value is returned. If element is a list or tuple, the corresponding stripped structure is returned. Otherwise, element is returned unchanged.

Examples

>>> from deeptrack.image import Image, strip

>>> img = Image([1, 2, 3])
>>> strip(img)
array([1, 2, 3])

>>> nested = [Image([1, 2]), Image([3, 4])]
>>> strip(nested)
[array([1, 2]), array([3, 4])]

>>> mixed = (Image([5]), 6, 'a')
>>> strip(mixed)
(array([5]), 6, 'a')
