How to obtain a gaussian filter in python

Question

I am using python to create a gaussian filter of size 5x5. I saw this post here where they talk about a similar thing but I didn\'t find the exact way to get equivalent python c

Answer 1

This function implements functionality similar to fspecial in matlab

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.signal.get_window.html from scipy import signal

>>>signal.get_window(('gaussian',2),3)
>>>array([ 0.8824969,  1.       ,  0.8824969])

This function appears to generate only 1D kernels

I guess you could implement code to generate a Gaussian mask yourself as well as other have pointed out.
