[python] ValueError: object too deep for desired array while using convolution

I'm trying to do this:

h = [0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2]

Y = np.convolve(Y, h, "same")

Y looks like this:

While doing this I get this error:

ValueError: object too deep for desired array

Why is this?

My guess is because somehow the convolve function does not see Y as a 1D array.

You could try using scipy.ndimage.convolve it allows convolution of multidimensional images. here is the docs

np.convolve needs a flattened array as one of it's inputs, you can use numpy.ndarray.flatten() which is quite fast, find it here.

np.convolve() takes one dimension array. You need to check the input and convert it into 1D.

You can use the np.ravel(), to convert the array to one dimension.
