我发现Scipy已经实现了function。但是，我对IV的值感到困惑。我尝试执行以下

V = np.cov(np.array([array_1, array_2]))
IV = np.linalg.inv(V)
print(mahalanobis(array_1, array_2, IV))

但是，出现以下错误：

文件   “ C：\ Users \ XXXXXX \ AppData \ Local \ Continuum \ anaconda3 \ envs \ face \ lib \ site-packages \ scipy \ spatial \ distance.py”，   mahalanobis中的1043行           m = np.dot（np.dot（delta，VI），delta）

ValueError：形状（128，）和（2,2）不对齐：128（dim 0）！= 2（dim 0）

上述数组的协方差矩阵原来是一个奇异矩阵，因此我无法对其进行求逆。为什么最终会变成奇异矩阵？

编辑2：解决方案

由于这里的协方差矩阵是奇异矩阵，因此我不得不使用np.linalg.pinv(V)对其进行伪逆运算。

Answer 1

在numpy.cov docs中，第一个参数应为数组m，这样：

m的每一行代表一个变量，每一列代表所有这些变量。

因此，要修复代码，只需在调用.T之前对数组进行转置（使用cov）即可。

V = np.cov(np.array([array_1, array_2]).T)
IV = np.linalg.inv(V)
print(mahalanobis(array_1, array_2, IV))

我刚刚在一些随机数据上对此进行了测试，我可以确认它是否有效。

此外，仅从两个观察值计算协方差是一个坏主意，而且不太准确。如果您的数据来自图像，则在计算协方差矩阵时应使用整个图像img（或至少是整个感兴趣区域），然后使用该矩阵查找两个向量之间的马氏距离。兴趣：

V = np.cov(np.array(img))
IV = np.linalg.inv(V)
print(mahalanobis(array_1, array_2, IV))

取决于您最初生成img和img.T的方式，您可能需要用array_1替换array_2。

如果您要获取奇异的协方差矩阵，那么您遇到的是数学问题，而不是代码问题。很显然，这个问题"why is my covariance matrix singular?"已经被问到并回答了，这已经足够普遍了。从广义上讲，从某种意义上来说，当足够多的数据点“太相似”时，似乎会发生这种情况。我以为仅使用两个数据点也使这种可能性更大。

如何在Python中找到两个一维数组之间的马氏距离？
