Return the discrete linear convolution of two one-dimensional sequences and get where they overlap in Python


To return the discrete linear convolution of two one-dimensional sequences, use the numpy.convolve() method in Python Numpy. The convolution operator is often seen in signal processing, where it models the effect of a linear time-invariant system on a signal. In probability theory, the sum of two independent random variables is distributed according to the convolution of their individual distributions.

If v is longer than a, the arrays are swapped before computation. The method returns the Discrete, linear convolution of a and v. The 1st parameter, a is the first one-dimensional input array. The 2nd parameter, v is the second one-dimensional input array. The 3rd parameter, mode is optional, with values full’, ‘valid’, ‘same’.

The mode ‘valid’ returns output of length max(M, N) - min(M, N) + 1. The convolution product is only given for points where the signals overlap completely. Values outside the signal boundary have no effect.

Steps

At first, import the required libraries −

import numpy as np

Creating two numpy One-Dimensional array using the array() method −

arr1 = np.array([1, 2, 3])
arr2 = np.array([0, 1, 0.5])

Display the arrays −

print("Array1...\n",arr1)
print("\nArray2...\n",arr2)

Check the Dimensions of both the arrays −

print("\nDimensions of Array1...\n",arr1.ndim)
print("\nDimensions of Array2...\n",arr2.ndim)

Check the Shape of both the arrays −

print("\nShape of Array1...\n",arr1.shape)
print("\nShape of Array2...\n",arr2.shape)

To return the discrete linear convolution of two one-dimensional sequences, use the numpy.convolve() method in Python Numpy −

print("\nResult....\n",np.convolve(arr1, arr2, mode = 'valid' ))

Example

import numpy as np

# Creating two numpy One-Dimensional array using the array() method
arr1 = np.array([1, 2, 3])
arr2 = np.array([0, 1, 0.5])

# Display the arrays
print("Array1...\n",arr1)
print("\nArray2...\n",arr2)

# Check the Dimensions of both the arrays
print("\nDimensions of Array1...\n",arr1.ndim)
print("\nDimensions of Array2...\n",arr2.ndim)

# Check the Shape of both the arrays
print("\nShape of Array1...\n",arr1.shape)
print("\nShape of Array2...\n",arr2.shape)

# To return the discrete linear convolution of two one-dimensional sequences, use the numpy.convolve() method in Python Numpy
print("\nResult....\n",np.convolve(arr1, arr2, mode = 'valid' ))

Output

Array1...
[1 2 3]

Array2...
[0. 1. 0.5]

Dimensions of Array1...
1

Dimensions of Array2...
1

Shape of Array1...
(3,)

Shape of Array2...
(3,)

Result....
[2.5]
