Find the numerical coordinates of the array of the neighboring maximum

Question

I used the accepted answer in this question to get local maxima in numpy 2 or more sizes so that I could label them. Now, I would also like to assign these labels to neighboring cells in the array, depending on the gradient - i.e. The cell receives the same label as the neighboring cell with the highest value. That way I can iteratively assign labels to my entire array.

Suppose I have an array Alike

>>> A = np.array([[ 1. ,  2. ,  2.2,  3.5],
                  [ 2.1,  2.4,  3. ,  3.3],
                  [ 1. ,  3. ,  3.2,  3. ],
                  [ 2. ,  4.1,  4. ,  2. ]])

By applying maximum_filter, I get

>>> scipy.ndimage.filters.maximum_filter(A, size=3)
array([[ 2.4,  3. ,  3.5,  3.5],
       [ 3. ,  3.2,  3.5,  3.5],
       [ 4.1,  4.1,  4.1,  4. ],
       [ 4.1,  4.1,  4.1,  4. ]])

Now, for each cell of this array, I would like to have the coordinates of the maximum found by the filter, i.e.

array([[[1,1],[1,2],[0,3],[0,3]],
       [[2,1],[2,2],[0,3],[0,3]],
       [[3,1],[3,1],[3,1],[3,2]],
       [[3,1],[3,1],[3,1],[3,2]]])

Then I used these coordinates to assign my labels iteratively.

highest_neighbor_coordinates = np.array([[(argmax2D(A[i-1:i+2, j-1:j+2])+np.array([i-1, j-1])) for j in range(1, A.shape[1]-1)] for i in range(1, A.shape[0]-1)])
