scipy.signal.cspline1d

scipy.signal.cspline1d(signal, lamb=0.0)

Compute cubic spline coefficients for rank-1 array.

Find the cubic spline coefficients for a 1-D signal assuming mirror-symmetric boundary conditions. To obtain the signal back from the spline representation mirror-symmetric-convolve these coefficients with a length 3 FIR window [1.0, 4.0, 1.0]/ 6.0 .

Parameters

signalndarray

A rank-1 array representing samples of a signal.

lambfloat, optional

Smoothing coefficient, default is 0.0.

Returns

cndarray

Cubic spline coefficients.

cspline1d_eval

Evaluate a cubic spline at the new set of points.

Examples

We can filter a signal to reduce and smooth out high-frequency noise with a cubic spline:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> from scipy.signal import cspline1d, cspline1d_eval
>>> sig = np.repeat([0., 1., 0.], 100)
>>> sig += np.random.randn(len(sig))*0.05  # add noise
>>> time = np.linspace(0, len(sig))
>>> filtered = cspline1d_eval(cspline1d(sig), time)
>>> plt.plot(sig, label="signal")
>>> plt.plot(time, filtered, label="filtered")
>>> plt.legend()
>>> plt.show()
