Find 2D peak prominence using Python










1














I found this scipy function scipy.signal.peak_prominences that finds the topographic prominence of specified local maxima in a 1d sequence.



But my application requires locating important peaks in a 2D array. I'm aware of some peak finding methods, such as doing a maximum filtering, which both scipy and skimage have their implementations. Also skimage's h_maxima() allows filtering local peaks that have a minimal relative height. But these only give the coordinates of the peaks, not their prominence .



So how do I compute peak prominence on a 2d array?
Any help would be appreciated.

  • I'm struggling to understand what's going on inside skimage's h_maxima, is it true that h_maxima gives peaks whose prominence >= h, so to get all prominence values I need to scan through the height with a small step?

I've cooked a python module using enclosing contour method, following wiki's definition:




The prominence of a peak is the height of the peak’s summit above the
lowest contour line encircling it but containing no higher summit
within it.




optionally one can filter out local peaks that have small cross section area or low prominence values.



I've put the code here: https://github.com/Xunius/python_peak_promience2d, if anyone finds any issue or possible improvement please fire an issue or PR.
