Does this help:
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.intersect1d.html

I'm not sure how the 3d part is relevant but that function finds the common
elements of two arrays. Use .flat or something to make the 3d arrays be
treated as 1d. Otherwise it's not clear what you mean by intersection.
