Python implementation of the Laplacian of Gaussian definition

Question

I am looking for an equivalent implementation of the Laplacian of detecting a Gaussian region.

In matlab we use the following function

   [BW,threshold] = edge(I,'log',...)

In python, there is a function for computing the Laplacian Gaussian. It does not give edges definitely.

  scipy.ndimage.filters.gaussian_laplace

Any pointer to an online implementation or code

thank

Answer 1

What you need to do with matlab edge ()

1. Calculate LoG
2. Calculate zero crossing on LoG
3. Calculate Threshold for Local LoG Difference
4. Edge pixels = zero crossing && local difference> threshold

LoG Scipy 1 . 2 ~ 4 :

import scipy as sp
import numpy as np
import scipy.ndimage as nd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from skimage import data    

# lena = sp.misc.lena() this function was deprecated in version 0.17
img = data.camera()  # use a standard image from skimage instead
LoG = nd.gaussian_laplace(img , 2)
thres = np.absolute(LoG).mean() * 0.75
output = sp.zeros(LoG.shape)
w = output.shape[1]
h = output.shape[0]

for y in range(1, h - 1):
    for x in range(1, w - 1):
        patch = LoG[y-1:y+2, x-1:x+2]
        p = LoG[y, x]
        maxP = patch.max()
        minP = patch.min()
        if (p > 0):
            zeroCross = True if minP < 0 else False
        else:
            zeroCross = True if maxP > 0 else False
        if ((maxP - minP) > thres) and zeroCross:
            output[y, x] = 1

plt.imshow(output)
plt.show()
