+## Finds local spatial maximas of the given image. A local spatial maxima is
+## defined as an image point with a value that is larger than all neighbouring
+## values in a square region of width 2*@var{radius}+1. By default @var{radius}
+## is 1, such that a 3 by 3 neighbourhood is searched. If the @var{thresh} input
+## argument is supplied, only local maximas with a value greater than @var{thresh}
+## are retained.
+##
+## The output vectors @var{r} and @var{c} contain the row-column coordinates
+## of the local maximas. The actual values are computed to sub-pixel precision
+## by fitting a parabola to the data around the pixel. If @var{im} is
+## @math{N}-dimensional, then @math{N} vectors will be returned.
+##
+## If @var{im} is @math{N}-dimensional, and @math{N}+1 outputs are requested,
+## then the last output will contain the image values at the maximas. Currently
+## this value is not interpolated.
