Description


Applies a reduction to pole filter to a potential field image. The filter is applied in the frequency domain. A 2-D Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is first applied to the image. After filtering, the image is transformed back to the spatial domain.

Details

FRD2P applies the reduction to pole filter to a potential field image. The filter is applied in the frequency domain. The image is transformed using a 2-D Fast Fourier transformation (FFT), then transformed back to the spatial domain after filtering.

This function is most efficient if the input window has dimensions of a power of 2; otherwise, FCONT must pad extra rows and columns to force the image dimensions a power of 2.

Algorithm

The input image is first transformed to frequency domain using 2-D FFT. The dimensions of the transformed image are power of 2 and are at least as large as the input image dimensions. After applying the filter, the frequency image is transformed back to the spatial domain and truncated to the input image size.

The reduction to pole filter has the following form:

        f^2 / [c1 f + i(a1 u + b1 v)] [c2 f + i(a2 u + b2 v)]
where:

The filter gain at u=v=0 is undefined. A value of 1.0 is inserted. The resolution of u, v are given as:

        Delta_u = 1/(SizeU * Delta_x)
        Delta_v = 1/(SizeV * Delta_y)
