scipy.ndimage.white_tophat#

scipy.ndimage.white_tophat(input, size=None, footprint=None, structure=None, output=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0, origin=0)[source]#

Multidimensional white tophat filter.

Parameters

inputarray_like: Input.
sizetuple of ints: Shape of a flat and full structuring element used for the filter. Optional if footprint or structure is provided.
footprintarray of ints, optional: Positions of elements of a flat structuring element used for the white tophat filter.
structurearray of ints, optional: Structuring element used for the filter. structure may be a non-flat structuring element.
outputarray, optional: An array used for storing the output of the filter may be provided.
mode{‘reflect’, ‘constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’, ‘wrap’}, optional: The mode parameter determines how the array borders are handled, where cval is the value when mode is equal to ‘constant’. Default is ‘reflect’
cvalscalar, optional: Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0.
originscalar, optional: The origin parameter controls the placement of the filter. Default is 0.

Returns

outputndarray: Result of the filter of input with structure.
