scipy.signal.spline_filter(Iin, lmbda=5.0)[source]

Smoothing spline (cubic) filtering of a rank-2 array.

Filter an input data set, Iin, using a (cubic) smoothing spline of fall-off lmbda.

Parameters
Iinarray like

input data set

lmbdafloat, optional

spline smooghing fall-off value, default is 5.0.

Returns
resndarray

filterd input data

Examples

We can filter an multi dimentional signal (ex: 2D image) using cubic B-spline filter:

>>> from scipy.signal import spline_filter
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> orig_img = np.eye(20)  # create an image
>>> orig_img[10, :] = 1.0
>>> sp_filter = spline_filter(orig_img, lmbda=0.1)
>>> f, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, sharex=True)
>>> for ind, data in enumerate([[orig_img, "original image"],
...                             [sp_filter, "spline filter"]]):
...     ax[ind].imshow(data[0], cmap='gray_r')
...     ax[ind].set_title(data[1])
>>> plt.tight_layout()
>>> plt.show()
