fft_image ( Image : ImageFFT : : )

Compute the fast Fourier transform of an image.

fft_image calculates the Fourier transform of the input image (Image), i.e., it transforms the image into the frequency domain. The algorithm used is the fast Fourier transform. This corresponds to the call

fft_generic(Image,ImageFFT,'to_freq',-1,'sqrt','dc_center','complex')
.


Attention

The filtering is always done on the entire image, i.e., the region of the image is ignored.


Parameters

Image (input_object)
image(-array) -> object : byte / real
Input image.

ImageFFT (output_object)
image(-array) -> object : complex
Fourier-transformed image.


Result

fft_image returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the input image is of correct type. If the input is empty the behavior can be set via set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:). If necessary, an exception handling is raised.


Parallelization Information

fft_image is reentrant and automatically parallelized (on tuple level).

optimize_fft_speed, read_fft_optimization_data


Possible Successors

convol_fft, convol_gabor, convert_image_type, power_byte, power_real, power_ln, phase_deg, phase_rad
