Parameters
----------
blob1 : sequence
A sequence of ``(y,x,sigma)``, where ``x,y`` are coordinates of blob
and sigma is the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel which
detected the blob.
blob2 : sequence
A sequence of ``(y,x,sigma)``, where ``x,y`` are coordinates of blob
and sigma is the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel which
detected the blob.

-------

Fraction of overlapped area.

deviation of the Gaussian kernel which detected the blob.

"""Finds blobs in the given grayscale image.
Blobs are found using the Difference of Gaussian (DoG) method[1]_.
For each blob found, its coordinates and area are returned.
Parameters
----------
image : ndarray
Input grayscale image, blobs are assumed to be light on dark
background (white on black).
min_sigma : float, optional
The minimum standard deviation for Gaussian Kernel. Keep this low to
detect smaller blobs.
max_sigma : float, optional
The maximum standard deviation for Gaussian Kernel. Keep this high to
detect larger blobs.
sigma_ratio : float, optional
The ratio between the standard deviation of Gaussian Kernels used for
computing the Difference of Gaussians
threshold : float, optional.
The absolute lower bound for scale space maxima. Local maxima smaller
than thresh are ignored. Reduce this to detect blobs with less
intensities.
overlap : float, optional
A value between 0 and 1. If the area of two blobs overlaps by a
fraction greater than `threshold`, the smaller blob is eliminated.
Returns
-------
A : (n, 3) ndarray
A 2d array with each row containing the Y-Coordinate , the
X-Coordinate and the estimated area of the blob respectively.
