Tophat2DKernel

class astropy.convolution.Tophat2DKernel(radius, **kwargs)

Bases: astropy.convolution.Kernel2D

2D Tophat filter kernel.

The Tophat filter is an isotropic smoothing filter. It can produce artifacts when applied repeatedly on the same data.

Parameters:

radius : int

Radius of the filter kernel.

mode : str, optional

One of the following discretization modes:

• ‘center’ (default)

  Discretize model by taking the value at the center of the bin.

• ‘linear_interp’

  Discretize model by performing a bilinear interpolation between the values at the corners of the bin.

• ‘oversample’

  Discretize model by taking the average on an oversampled grid.

• ‘integrate’

  Discretize model by integrating the model over the bin.

factor : number, optional

Factor of oversampling. Default factor = 10.

Examples

Kernel response:

tophat_2D_kernel = Tophat2DKernel(40)
plt.imshow(tophat_2D_kernel, interpolation='none', origin='lower')
plt.xlabel('x [pixels]')
plt.ylabel('y [pixels]')
plt.colorbar()
plt.show()
