djs_median¶

pydl.pydlutils.math.djs_median(array, dimension=None, width=None, boundary='none')[source]¶

Compute the median of an array.

Use a filtering box or collapse the image along one dimension.

Parameters

arraynumpy.ndarray: input array
dimensionint, optional: Compute the median over this dimension. It is an error to specify both dimension and width.
widthint, optional: Width of the median window. In general, this should be an odd integer. It is an error to specify both dimension and width.
boundary{ ‘none’, ‘reflect’, ‘nearest’, ‘wrap’ }, optional: Boundary condition to impose. ‘none’ means no filtering is done within width/2 of the boundary. ‘reflect’ means reflect pixel values around the boundary. ‘nearest’ means use the values of the nearest boundary pixel. ‘wrap’ means wrap pixel values around the boundary. ‘nearest’ and ‘wrap’ are not implemented.

Returns

numpy.ndarray: The output. If neither dimension nor width are set, this is a scalar value, just the output of numpy.median(). If dimension is set, then the result simply numpy.median(array,dimension). If width is set, the result has the same shape as the input array.
