I'm not sure what exactly you need, but did you look at np.histogramdd ? reading the help file, this might work numpy.histogramdd(temp[:,:,0].ravel(), temp[:,:,1].ravel(), temp[:,:,2].ravel(), bins=16) but I never used histogramdd. also looking at the source of numpy is often very instructive, lots of good tricks to find in there: np.source(np.histogramdd).
