im

The input image will most likely be the distant transform

np.random.seed(0)
im = ps.generators.blobs(shape=[500, 500])
dt = edt(im)

pk = ps.filters.hold_peaks(im=dt, axis=0)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=[16, 8])
ax[0].imshow(dt/im)
ax[0].axis(False)
ax[0].set_title('distance transform')

ax[1].imshow(pk/im)
ax[1].axis(False)
ax[1].set_title('peaks');

axis

Controls the axis of the search:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=[12, 6])

axis = 0
pk1 = ps.filters.hold_peaks(im=dt, axis=axis)
ax[0].imshow(pk1/im)
ax[0].axis(False)
ax[0].set_title(f'axis = {axis}')

axis = 1
pk2 = ps.filters.hold_peaks(im=dt, axis=axis)
ax[1].imshow(pk2/im)
ax[1].axis(False)
ax[1].set_title(f'axis = {axis}');

ascending

A boolean that controls the direction of the scanning:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=[12, 6])

ascending = True
pk1 = ps.filters.hold_peaks(im=dt, ascending=ascending)
ax[0].imshow(pk1/im)
ax[0].axis(False)
ax[0].set_title(f'ascending = {ascending}')

ascending = False
pk2 = ps.filters.hold_peaks(im=dt, ascending=ascending)
ax[1].imshow(pk2/im)
ax[1].axis(False)
ax[1].set_title(f'ascending = {ascending}');
