[SciPy-User] Matlab imfilter/fspecial equivalent

[Brickle Macho]

I am porting some Matlab code to python.  When I run the ported version 
the output differs.   It appears the difference may be due to how I have 
translated Matlab's imfilter() and/or fspecial(). Below are my 
translation, are there any Scipy/Matlab gurus that can let me know if 
there are correct or if I have made some errors, or could suggest better 
translations.

Matlab:  imfilter(saliencyMap, fspecial('gaussian', [10, 10], 2.5))
Scipy:  ndimage.gaussian_filter(saliencyMap, sigma=2.5)

Also the following.  At the rsik of highlighting my lack of 
understanding of the temrinology, Is uniform_filter the same as 'average'?

Matlab:  imfilter(myLogAmplitude, fspecial('average', 3), 'replicate');
Scipy: scipy.ndimage.uniform_filter(mylogAmplitude, size=3, mode="nearest")


Thanks,

Michael.

If curious here are the 8 lines of matlab code I am trying to port:

%% Read image from file
inImg = im2double(rgb2gray(imread('yourImage.jpg')));
inImg = imresize(inImg, 64/size(inImg, 2));

%% Spectral Residual
myFFT = fft2(inImg);
myLogAmplitude = log(abs(myFFT));
myPhase = angle(myFFT);
mySpectralResidual = myLogAmplitude - imfilter(myLogAmplitude, 
fspecial('average', 3), 'replicate');
saliencyMap = abs(ifft2(exp(mySpectralResidual + i*myPhase))).^2;

%% After Effect
saliencyMap = mat2gray(imfilter(saliencyMap, fspecial('gaussian', [10, 
10], 2.5)));
imshow(saliencyMap);
