trim_extrema#

trim_extrema(im, h, mode='maxima')[source]#

Trims local extrema in greyscale values by a specified amount.

This essentially decapitates peaks and/or floods valleys.

Parameters:

  • im (ndarray) – The image whose extrema are to be removed

  • h (float) – The height to remove from each peak or fill in each valley

  • mode (string {'maxima' | 'minima' | 'extrema'}) – Specifies whether to remove maxima or minima or both

Returns:

image – A copy of the input image with all the peaks and/or valleys removed.

Return type:

ndarray

Notes

  1. This function is referred to as imhmax or imhmin in Matlab.

(2) If the provided h is larger than ALL peaks in the array, then the baseline values of the array are changed as well.
