7.1 Review of The Fourier Transform
  • Many DIP techniques rely on the application of an
    image transform of which the Fourier Transform
    is the most popular.
  • The Fourier domain provides very important
    insight into the information content of the data.

Outline of this Topic 7.1 Introduction to the
Fourier Transform (FT) 7.2 The Discrete Fourier
Transform (DFT) 7.3 The Properties of the
DFT 7.4 Computation of the DFT (via the FFT)

Spatial Frequency
The spatial frequency of this signal would be
with units of either cycles per m (physical
space) cycles per pixel (image space)

  • Notes
  • The Inverse Relationship narrow function in the
    spatial domain results in a wide function in the
    Fourier Domain.
  • In this case F(u) is not complex ie

7.2 The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
Consider a 1-d sampled dataset of dimension N

We need to evaluate F(u) on a grid of N points
(in u space). A good choice for the spacing is
?u1/X (1 cycle across the full extent of the
image)
11
The DFT continued
Finally we set , we
redistribute the normalization term and drop the
dashes
EXAMPLE Determine the DFT of a 4-point dataset
with input values f0 1 f1 1
f2 0 f3 0
Why the periodicity?

7.3 Some Properties of the DFT
(a) SAMPLING THEORY
Assume F(u) is zero outside range
-wltultw S(u) is a Shah Function with spacing
?u1/?x In the Fourier domain we have the
convolution S(u)F(u)
Input data stream (continuous variables) Repre
sent sampling by a comb of delta functions s(x)
a Shah Function The sampled version of f(x)
can be represented by s(x)f(x)
This explains the periodic nature of the DFT ie
it repeats at a rate (in u) of 1/?x
13
Some Properties of the DFT cont.
  • SHANNONS SAMPLING THEOREM
  • To avoid information loss it is necessary to
    sample a signal at a rate equivalent to at least
    twice the maximum frequency component present in
    the signal.
  • That is we need w lt 1/2?x, where 1/2?x is known
    as the Nyquist frequency.

7.4 Computation of the DFT
In DIP applications we need to compute the 2-d
DFT
Hence, the 2-d DFT reduces to the computation of
a series of 1-d transforms.
In total we require 2N 1-d transforms, each of
which involves N x N complex multiplies and adds
ie N4 ? 2N3 calculations

Calculating the Inverse Fourier Transform
If we take the complex conjugate of the inverse
transform and scale by 1/N
  • To calculate the Inverse Transform with a
    software procedure that computes the 1-d
    forward transform
  • Convert Fu ? Fu
  • (ii) Apply the forward transform
  • (iii) Scale the result by N
  • (iv) Convert fx ? fx
