convolve(in1, in2, mode='full', method='auto')

Convolve :None:None:`in1` and in2 , with the output size determined by the :None:None:`mode` argument.

Notes

By default, convolve and correlate use method='auto' , which calls choose_conv_method to choose the fastest method using pre-computed values (choose_conv_method can also measure real-world timing with a keyword argument). Because fftconvolve relies on floating point numbers, there are certain constraints that may force :None:None:`method=direct` (more detail in choose_conv_method docstring).

Parameters

in1 : array_like

First input.

in2 : array_like

Second input. Should have the same number of dimensions as :None:None:`in1`.

mode : str {'full', 'valid', 'same'}, optional

A string indicating the size of the output:

full

The output is the full discrete linear convolution of the inputs. (Default)

valid

The output consists only of those elements that do not rely on the zero-padding. In 'valid' mode, either :None:None:`in1` or in2 must be at least as large as the other in every dimension.

same

The output is the same size as :None:None:`in1`, centered with respect to the 'full' output.

method : str {'auto', 'direct', 'fft'}, optional

A string indicating which method to use to calculate the convolution.

direct

The convolution is determined directly from sums, the definition of convolution.

fft

The Fourier Transform is used to perform the convolution by calling fftconvolve .

auto

Automatically chooses direct or Fourier method based on an estimate of which is faster (default). See Notes for more detail.

versionadded

Returns

convolve : array

An N-dimensional array containing a subset of the discrete linear convolution of :None:None:`in1` with in2 .

Convolve two N-dimensional arrays.

See Also

choose_conv_method

chooses the fastest appropriate convolution method

fftconvolve

Always uses the FFT method.

numpy.polymul

performs polynomial multiplication (same operation, but also accepts poly1d objects)

oaconvolve

Uses the overlap-add method to do convolution, which is generally faster when the input arrays are large and significantly different in size.

Examples

Smooth a square pulse using a Hann window:

>>> from scipy import signal
... sig = np.repeat([0., 1., 0.], 100)
... win = signal.windows.hann(50)
... filtered = signal.convolve(sig, win, mode='same') / sum(win)
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
... fig, (ax_orig, ax_win, ax_filt) = plt.subplots(3, 1, sharex=True)
... ax_orig.plot(sig)
... ax_orig.set_title('Original pulse')
... ax_orig.margins(0, 0.1)
... ax_win.plot(win)
... ax_win.set_title('Filter impulse response')
... ax_win.margins(0, 0.1)
... ax_filt.plot(filtered)
... ax_filt.set_title('Filtered signal')
... ax_filt.margins(0, 0.1)
... fig.tight_layout()
... fig.show()

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
