skimage2.filters.farid#

skimage2.filters.farid(image, mask=None, *, axis=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0)[source]#

Find the edge magnitude using the Farid transform.

Parameters:

imagearray

The input image.

maskarray of bool, optional

Clip the output image to this mask. (Values where mask=0 will be set to 0.)

axisint or sequence of int, optional

Compute the edge filter along this axis. If not provided, the edge magnitude is computed. This is defined as:

farid_mag = np.sqrt(sum([farid(image, axis=i)**2
                         for i in range(image.ndim)]) / image.ndim)

The magnitude is also computed if axis is a sequence.

modestr or sequence of str, optional

The boundary mode for the convolution. See scipy.ndimage.convolve for a description of the modes. This can be either a single boundary mode or one boundary mode per axis.

cvalfloat, optional

When mode is 'constant', this is the constant used in values outside the boundary of the image data.

Returns:

outputarray of float: The Farid edge map.

Notes

Take the square root of the sum of the squares of the horizontal and vertical derivatives to get a magnitude that is somewhat insensitive to direction. Similar to the Scharr operator, this operator is designed with a rotation invariance constraint.
