elliptical_footprint¶
- astroimtools.filtering.elliptical_footprint(a, b, theta=0, dtype=<class 'int'>)[source]¶
Create an elliptical footprint.
A pixel is considered to be entirely in or out of the footprint depending on whether its center is in or out of the footprint. The size of the output array is the minimal bounding box for the footprint.
- Parameters:
- aint
The semimajor axis.
- bint
The semiminor axis.
- thetafloat, optional
The rotation angle in radians of the semimajor axis. The angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
- dtypedata-type, optional
The data type of the output
ndarray
.
- Returns:
- footprint
ndarray
A footprint where array elements are 1 within the footprint and 0 otherwise.
- footprint
Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> from astroimtools import elliptical_footprint >>> elliptical_footprint(4, 2, theta=np.pi/2.) array([[0, 0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0, 0]])
