import numpy as np from ..measure import label def clear_border(labels, buffer_size=0, bgval=0, in_place=False): """Clear objects connected to the label image border. The changes will be applied directly to the input. Parameters ---------- labels : (N, M) array of int Label or binary image. buffer_size : int, optional The width of the border examined. By default, only objects that touch the outside of the image are removed. bgval : float or int, optional Cleared objects are set to this value. in_place : bool, optional Whether or not to manipulate the labels array in-place. Returns ------- labels : (N, M) array Cleared binary image.
