order_filter

scipy.signal.order_filter(a, domain, rank)

Perform an order filter on an N-D array.

Perform an order filter on the array in. The domain argument acts as a mask centered over each pixel. The non-zero elements of domain are used to select elements surrounding each input pixel which are placed in a list. The list is sorted, and the output for that pixel is the element corresponding to rank in the sorted list.

Parameters:

andarray

The N-dimensional input array.

domainarray_like

A mask array with the same number of dimensions as a. Each dimension should have an odd number of elements.

rankint

A non-negative integer which selects the element from the sorted list (0 corresponds to the smallest element, 1 is the next smallest element, etc.).

Returns:

outndarray

The results of the order filter in an array with the same shape as a.
