Overview of this book

Python is one of the leading open source platforms for data science and numerical computing. IPython and the associated Jupyter Notebook offer efficient interfaces to Python for data analysis and interactive visualization, and they constitute an ideal gateway to the platform. IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook, Second Edition contains many ready-to-use, focused recipes for high-performance scientific computing and data analysis, from the latest IPython/Jupyter features to the most advanced tricks, to help you write better and faster code. You will apply these state-of-the-art methods to various real-world examples, illustrating topics in applied mathematics, scientific modeling, and machine learning. The first part of the book covers programming techniques: code quality and reproducibility, code optimization, high-performance computing through just-in-time compilation, parallel computing, and graphics card programming. The second part tackles data science, statistics, machine learning, signal and image processing, dynamical systems, and pure and applied mathematics.

Applying filters on an image


In this recipe, we apply filters on an image for various purposes: blurring, denoising, and edge detection.

How it works...

  1. Let's import the packages:

    >>> import numpy as np
        import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
        import skimage
        import skimage.color as skic
        import skimage.filters as skif
        import skimage.data as skid
        import skimage.util as sku
        %matplotlib inline
  2. We create a function that displays a grayscale image:

    >>> def show(img):
            fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(8, 8))
            ax.imshow(img, cmap=plt.cm.gray)
            ax.set_axis_off()
            plt.show()
  3. Now, we load the Astronaut image (bundled in scikit-image). We convert it to a grayscale image with the rgb2gray() function:

    >>> img = skic.rgb2gray(skid.astronaut())
    >>> show(img)
  4. Let's apply a blurring Gaussian filter to the image:

    >>> show(skif.gaussian(img, 5.))
  5. We now apply a Sobel filter that enhances the edges in the image:
