def label(input, structure=None, output=None):
    """
    Label features in an array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        An array-like object to be labeled. Any non-zero values in `input` are
        counted as features and zero values are considered the background.
    structure : array_like, optional
        A structuring element that defines feature connections.
        `structure` must be centrosymmetric
        (see Notes).
        If no structuring element is provided,
        one is automatically generated with a squared connectivity equal to
        one.  That is, for a 2-D `input` array, the default structuring element
        is::

            [[0,1,0],
             [1,1,1],
             [0,1,0]]

    output : (None, data-type, array_like), optional
        If `output` is a data type, it specifies the type of the resulting
        labeled feature array.
        If `output` is an array-like object, then `output` will be updated
        with the labeled features from this function.  This function can
        operate in-place, by passing output=input.
        Note that the output must be able to store the largest label, or this
        function will raise an Exception.

    Returns
    -------
    label : ndarray or int
        An integer ndarray where each unique feature in `input` has a unique
        label in the returned array.
    num_features : int
        How many objects were found.

        If `output` is None, this function returns a tuple of
        (`labeled_array`, `num_features`).

        If `output` is a ndarray, then it will be updated with values in
        `labeled_array` and only `num_features` will be returned by this
        function.

    See Also
    --------
    find_objects : generate a list of slices for the labeled features (or
                   objects); useful for finding features' position or
                   dimensions

    Notes
    -----
    A centrosymmetric matrix is a matrix that is symmetric about the center.
    See [1]_ for more information.

    The `structure` matrix must be centrosymmetric to ensure
    two-way connections.
    For instance, if the `structure` matrix is not centrosymmetric
    and is defined as::

        [[0,1,0],
         [1,1,0],
         [0,0,0]]

    and the `input` is::

        [[1,2],
         [0,3]]

    then the structure matrix would indicate the
    entry 2 in the input is connected to 1,
    but 1 is not connected to 2.

    Examples
    --------
    Create an image with some features, then label it using the default
    (cross-shaped) structuring element:

    >>> from scipy.ndimage import label, generate_binary_structure
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> a = np.array([[0,0,1,1,0,0],
    ...               [0,0,0,1,0,0],
    ...               [1,1,0,0,1,0],
    ...               [0,0,0,1,0,0]])
    >>> labeled_array, num_features = label(a)

    Each of the 4 features are labeled with a different integer:

    >>> num_features
    4
    >>> labeled_array
    array([[0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
           [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
           [2, 2, 0, 0, 3, 0],
           [0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0]], dtype=int32)

    Generate a structuring element that will consider features connected even
    if they touch diagonally:

    >>> s = generate_binary_structure(2,2)

    or,

    >>> s = [[1,1,1],
    ...      [1,1,1],
    ...      [1,1,1]]

    Label the image using the new structuring element:

    >>> labeled_array, num_features = label(a, structure=s)

    Show the 2 labeled features (note that features 1, 3, and 4 from above are
    now considered a single feature):

    >>> num_features
    2
    >>> labeled_array
    array([[0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
           [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
           [2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0],

def find_objects(input, max_label=0):

    Find objects in a labeled array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : ndarray of ints
        Array containing objects defined by different labels. Labels with
        value 0 are ignored.
    max_label : int, optional
        Maximum label to be searched for in `input`. If max_label is not
        given, the positions of all objects are returned.

    Returns
    -------
    object_slices : list of tuples
        A list of tuples, with each tuple containing N slices (with N the
        dimension of the input array). Slices correspond to the minimal
        parallelepiped that contains the object. If a number is missing,
        None is returned instead of a slice. The label ``l`` corresponds to
        the index ``l-1`` in the returned list.

def value_indices(arr, *, ignore_value=None):
    """
    Find indices of each distinct value in given array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr : ndarray of ints
        Array containing integer values.
    ignore_value : int, optional
        This value will be ignored in searching the `arr` array. If not
        given, all values found will be included in output. Default
        is None.

    Returns
    -------
    indices : dictionary
        A Python dictionary of array indices for each distinct value. The
        dictionary is keyed by the distinct values, the entries are array
        index tuples covering all occurrences of the value within the
        array.

        This dictionary can occupy significant memory, usually several times
        the size of the input array.

    See Also
    --------
    label, maximum, median, minimum_position, extrema, sum, mean, variance,
    standard_deviation, numpy.where, numpy.unique

    Notes
    -----
    For a small array with few distinct values, one might use
    `numpy.unique()` to find all possible values, and ``(arr == val)`` to
    locate each value within that array. However, for large arrays,
    with many distinct values, this can become extremely inefficient,
    as locating each value would require a new search through the entire
    array. Using this function, there is essentially one search, with
    the indices saved for all distinct values.

    This is useful when matching a categorical image (e.g. a segmentation
    or classification) to an associated image of other data, allowing
    any per-class statistic(s) to then be calculated. Provides a
    more flexible alternative to functions like ``scipy.ndimage.mean()``
    and ``scipy.ndimage.variance()``.

    Some other closely related functionality, with different strengths and
    weaknesses, can also be found in ``scipy.stats.binned_statistic()`` and
    the `scikit-image <https://scikit-image.org/>`_ function
    ``skimage.measure.regionprops()``.

    Note for IDL users: this provides functionality equivalent to IDL's
    REVERSE_INDICES option (as per the IDL documentation for the
    `HISTOGRAM <https://www.l3harrisgeospatial.com/docs/histogram.html>`_
    function).

    .. versionadded:: 1.10.0

    Examples
    --------
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> from scipy import ndimage
    >>> a = np.zeros((6, 6), dtype=int)
    >>> a[2:4, 2:4] = 1

    >>> val_indices = ndimage.value_indices(a)

    The dictionary `val_indices` will have an entry for each distinct
    value in the input array.

    >>> val_indices.keys()
    dict_keys([np.int64(0), np.int64(1), np.int64(2), np.int64(3)])

    The entry for each value is an index tuple, locating the elements
    with that value.

    >>> ndx1 = val_indices[1]
    >>> ndx1
    (array([2, 2, 3, 3, 4]), array([2, 3, 2, 3, 4]))

    array with the same shape.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like

        median value of `input` over the region is computed.
    labels : array_like, optional
        An array_like of integers marking different regions over which the

    median : float or list of floats
        List of medians of `input` over the regions determined by `labels` and
