I am trying to perform a 2d convolution in python using numpy
I have a 2d array as follows with kernel H_r for the rows and H_c for the columns
data = np.zeros((nr, nc), dtype=np.float32)
#fill array with some data here then convolve
for r in range(nr):
data[r,:] = np.convolve(data[r,:], H_r, 'same')
for c in range(nc):
data[:,c] = np.convolve(data[:,c], H_c, 'same')
data = data.astype(np.uint8);
It does not produce the output that I was expecting, does this code look OK, I think the problem is with the casting from float32 to 8bit. Whats the best way to do this
Thanks

Maybe it is not the most optimized solution, but this is an implementation I used before with numpy library for Python:
def convolution2d(image, kernel, bias):
m, n = kernel.shape
if (m == n):
y, x = image.shape
y = y - m + 1
x = x - m + 1
new_image = np.zeros((y,x))
for i in range(y):
for j in range(x):
new_image[i][j] = np.sum(image[i:i+m, j:j+m]*kernel) + bias
return new_image
I hope this code helps other guys with the same doubt.
Regards.
Edit [Jan 2019]
@Tashus comment bellow is correct, and @dudemeister's answer is thus probably more on the mark. The function he suggested is also more efficient, by avoiding a direct 2D convolution and the number of operations that would entail.
