Find unique rows in numpy.array

Question

I need to find unique rows in a numpy.array.

For example:

>>> a # I have
array([[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
         


        

Answer 1

None of these answers worked for me. I'm assuming as my unique rows contained strings and not numbers. However this answer from another thread did work:

You can use .count() and .index() list's methods

coor = np.array([[10, 10], [12, 9], [10, 5], [12, 9]])
coor_tuple = [tuple(x) for x in coor]
unique_coor = sorted(set(coor_tuple), key=lambda x: coor_tuple.index(x))
unique_count = [coor_tuple.count(x) for x in unique_coor]
unique_index = [coor_tuple.index(x) for x in unique_coor]

Answer 2

import numpy as np
original = np.array([[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
                     [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
                     [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
                     [1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
                     [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0]])
# create a view that the subarray as tuple and return unique indeies.
_, unique_index = np.unique(original.view(original.dtype.descr * original.shape[1]),
                            return_index=True)
# get unique set
print(original[unique_index])
