scikit-image transform ValueError: Buffer not C contiguous

I'm using the skimage transform module's resize method.

Not always, but sometimes, I'm getting an error on this line:

candidate = resize(np.copy(img[candidate_box[0]:candidate_box[2],candidate_box[1]:candidate_box[3]]), (50,100))

It tells me:

ValueError: Buffer not C contiguous

How can I fix this?

I found a error may raise this exception. Make sure your region is within your image. For example, let's say your image is 300x200, and your region is [199:299, 100:199]. Note 299>200. If you perform resize(image[100:199, 199:299]), you will see this error.

Hope it could help you.

Reshaping (and other operations) will sometimes disrupt the contiguity of an array. You can check whether this has happened by looking at the flags:

>>> a = np.arange(10).reshape(5, 2).T
>>> a.flags
  C_CONTIGUOUS : False # reshaped array is no longer C contiguous
  F_CONTIGUOUS : True
  OWNDATA : False
  WRITEABLE : True
  ALIGNED : True
  UPDATEIFCOPY : False

Try making a C contiguous copy of the array with np.ascontiguousarray:

 >>> b = np.ascontiguousarray(a)
 >>> b.flags
  C_CONTIGUOUS : True # array b is a C contiguous copy of array a
  F_CONTIGUOUS : False
  OWNDATA : True
  WRITEABLE : True
  ALIGNED : True
  UPDATEIFCOPY : False

The function returns an array with the same shape and values as the target array, but the returned array is stored as a C contiguous array.
