clip_edges

sunpy.image.coalignment.clip_edges(data, yclips: Unit("pix"), xclips: Unit("pix"))

Clips off the “y” and “x” edges of a 2D array according to a list of pixel values. This function is useful for removing data at the edge of 2d images that may be affected by shifts from solar de- rotation and layer co- registration, leaving an image unaffected by edge effects.

Parameters

• data (numpy.ndarray) – A numpy array of shape (ny, nx).

• yclips (astropy.units.Quantity) – The amount to clip in the y-direction of the data. Has units of pixels, and values should be whole non-negative numbers.

• xclips (astropy.units.Quantity) – The amount to clip in the x-direction of the data. Has units of pixels, and values should be whole non-negative numbers.

Returns

numpy.ndarray – A 2D image with edges clipped off according to yclips and xclips arrays.
