scipy.ndimage.generic_laplace(input, derivative2, output=None, mode='reflect', cval=0.0, extra_arguments=(), extra_keywords=None)

  N-D Laplace filter using a provided second derivative function.

  Parameters
    input array_like

      The input array.

    derivative2 callable

      Callable with the following signature:

          derivative2(input, axis, output, mode, cval,
                      *extra_arguments, **extra_keywords)

      See extra_arguments, extra_keywords below.

    output array or dtype, optional

      The array in which to place the output, or the dtype of the returned array. By default an array of the same dtype as input will be created.

    mode str or sequence, optional

      The mode parameter determines how the input array is extended when the filter overlaps a border. By passing a sequence of modes with length equal to the number of dimensions of the input array, different modes can be specified along each axis. Default value is ‘reflect’. The valid values and their behavior is as follows:

      ‘reflect’ (d c b a | a b c d | d c b a)

        The input is extended by reflecting about the edge of the last pixel. This mode is also sometimes referred to as half-sample symmetric.

      ‘constant’ (k k k k | a b c d | k k k k)

        The input is extended by filling all values beyond the edge with the same constant value, defined by the cval parameter.

      ‘nearest’ (a a a a | a b c d | d d d d)

        The input is extended by replicating the last pixel.

      ‘mirror’ (d c b | a b c d | c b a)

        The input is extended by reflecting about the center of the last pixel. This mode is also sometimes referred to as whole-sample symmetric.

      ‘wrap’ (a b c d | a b c d | a b c d)

        The input is extended by wrapping around to the opposite edge.

      For consistency with the interpolation functions, the following mode names can also be used:

      ‘grid-constant’

        This is a synonym for ‘constant’.

      ‘grid-mirror’

        This is a synonym for ‘reflect’.

      ‘grid-wrap’

        This is a synonym for ‘wrap’.

    cval scalar, optional

      Value to fill past edges of input if mode is ‘constant’. Default is 0.0.

    extra_keywords dict, optional

      dict of extra keyword arguments to pass to passed function.

    extra_arguments sequence, optional

      Sequence of extra positional arguments to pass to passed function.
