Replacing Numpy elements if condition is met

I have a large numpy array that I need to manipulate so that each element is changed to either a 1 or 0 if a condition is met (will be used as a pixel mask later). There are about 8 million elements in the array and my current method takes too long for the reduction pipeline:

for (y,x), value in numpy.ndenumerate(mask_data): 

    if mask_data[y,x]<3: #Good Pixel
        mask_data[y,x]=1
    elif mask_data[y,x]>3: #Bad Pixel
        mask_data[y,x]=0

Is there a numpy function that would speed this up?

>>> a = np.random.randint(0, 5, size=(5, 4))
>>> a
array([[0, 3, 3, 2],
       [4, 1, 1, 2],
       [3, 4, 2, 4],
       [2, 4, 3, 0],
       [1, 2, 3, 4]])
>>> 
>>> a[a > 3] = -101
>>> a
array([[   0,    3,    3,    2],
       [-101,    1,    1,    2],
       [   3, -101,    2, -101],
       [   2, -101,    3,    0],
       [   1,    2,    3, -101]])
>>>

I was a noob with Numpy, and the answers above where not straight to the point to modify in place my array, so I'm posting what I came up with:

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([[[10,20,30,255],[40,50,60,255]],
                [[70,80,90,255],[100,110,120,255]],
                [[170,180,190,255],[230,240,250,255]]])

# Change 1:
# Set every value to 0 if first element is smaller than 80 
arr[arr[:,:,0] < 80] = 0

print('Change 1:',arr,'\n')

# Change 2:
# Set every value to 1 if bigger than 180 and smaller than 240
# OR if equal to 170
arr[(arr > 180) & (arr < 240) | (arr == 170)] = 1

print('Change 2:',arr)

This produces:

Change 1: [[[  0   0   0   0]
  [  0   0   0   0]]

 [[  0   0   0   0]
  [100 110 120 255]]

 [[170 180 190 255]
  [230 240 250 255]]] 

Change 2: [[[  0   0   0   0]
  [  0   0   0   0]]

 [[  0   0   0   0]
  [100 110 120 255]]

 [[  1 180   1 255]
  [  1 240 250 255]]]

This way you can add tons of conditions like 'Change 2' and set values accordingly.

The quickest (and most flexible) way is to use np.where, which chooses between two arrays according to a mask(array of true and false values): 

import numpy as np
a = np.random.randint(0, 5, size=(5, 4))
b = np.where(a<3,0,1)
print('a:',a)
print()
print('b:',b)

which will produce:

a: [[1 4 0 1]
 [1 3 2 4]
 [1 0 2 1]
 [3 1 0 0]
 [1 4 0 1]]

b: [[0 1 0 0]
 [0 1 0 1]
 [0 0 0 0]
 [1 0 0 0]
 [0 1 0 0]]

I am not sure I understood your question, but if you write:

mask_data[:3, :3] = 1
mask_data[3:, 3:] = 0

This will make all values of mask data whose x and y indexes are less than 3 to be equal to 1 and all rest to be equal to 0

You can create your mask array in one step like this

mask_data = input_mask_data < 3

This creates a boolean array which can then be used as a pixel mask. Note that we haven't changed the input array (as in your code) but have created a new array to hold the mask data - I would recommend doing it this way.

>>> input_mask_data = np.random.randint(0, 5, (3, 4))
>>> input_mask_data
array([[1, 3, 4, 0],
       [4, 1, 2, 2],
       [1, 2, 3, 0]])
>>> mask_data = input_mask_data < 3
>>> mask_data
array([[ True, False, False,  True],
       [False,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True, False,  True]], dtype=bool)

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.random.randint(0, 5, size=(5, 4))
>>> a
array([[4, 2, 1, 1],
       [3, 0, 1, 2],
       [2, 0, 1, 1],
       [4, 0, 2, 3],
       [0, 0, 0, 2]])
>>> b = a < 3
>>> b
array([[False,  True,  True,  True],
       [False,  True,  True,  True],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True],
       [False,  True,  True, False],
       [ True,  True,  True,  True]], dtype=bool)
>>> 
>>> c = b.astype(int)
>>> c
array([[0, 1, 1, 1],
       [0, 1, 1, 1],
       [1, 1, 1, 1],
       [0, 1, 1, 0],
       [1, 1, 1, 1]])

You can shorten this with:

>>> c = (a < 3).astype(int)
