Problem with InverseFourier of a 2d FFT of a non-squared image


I have the following 8bit grey scale image:


enter image description here



The 2d FFT of this image, showing the color coded Abs[fft] values, is:


enter image description here


The code to obtain the FFT image is:


img = Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/CA0nv.png"];

dimimg = ImageDimensions[img];
rdimimg = Reverse[dimimg];

fft = Fourier[ImageData[img]];
fftRotated = RotateLeft[fft, Floor[Dimensions[fft]/2]];


fftAbsData = Abs[fftRotated];

minc = 140;
myColorTable =
Flatten@{Table[{Blend[{Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange}, x]}, {x,
1/minc, 1, 1/minc}],
Table[{Blend[{Orange, Red, Darker@Red}, x]}, {x, 1/(256 - minc),
1, 1/(256 - minc)}]};


g = Colorize[
ImageResize[Image[fftAbsData], {rdimimg[[1]], rdimimg[[2]]}],
ColorFunction -> (Blend[myColorTable, #] &)];

xfrequencies = (Range[rdimimg[[1]]] - Round[rdimimg[[1]]/2])/
rdimimg[[1]];
yfrequencies = (Range[rdimimg[[2]]] - Round[rdimimg[[2]]/2])/
rdimimg[[2]];

minmaxxf = MinMax[xfrequencies];

minmaxyf = MinMax[yfrequencies];

dy = minmaxyf[[2]] - minmaxyf[[1]];
dx = minmaxxf[[2]] - minmaxxf[[1]];

scaleFactor = 600;

imagefft = ImageResize[g, scaleFactor*{dx, dy}]

Questions:



Now I would like to cut out the red ring and make a backward FFT to see which objects of the original image belong to the high amplitude fft data, seen in red.


How can I cout out a circular region in the fft image?


Even without cutting out a part I am not able to reproduce the original image from fft:


inverse=Image[InverseFourier[fft]]

gives me:

Why does InverseFourier not reproduce the original image?



Answer



Using your image, you can first check that InverseFourier does indeed reproduce the original image:



inverse = Image[Chop@InverseFourier[fft]];
ImageDistance[inverse, img]

returns 3.90437*10^-6



Now I would like to cut out the red ring and make a backward FFT to see which objects of the original image belong to the high amplitude fft data, seen in red.



Well, don't expect "objects" - the Fourier transform is a global operation, so you'll basically see the result of a linear (bandpass) filter by masking in the FFT domain.


But you can try easily enough. Simply create a binary mask:


mask = Array[Boole[.15 < Norm[{##}] < .25] &, 

Dimensions[fftRotated], {{-1., 1.}, {-1., 1.}}];

HighlightImage[Image[Rescale@Log[Abs@fftRotated]], Image[mask]]

enter image description here


Multiply it with the FFT and apply inverse transform:


fftMasked = RotateRight[mask*fftRotated, Floor[Dimensions[fft]/2]];

And display the real part of the result:


Image[Rescale[Chop[Re@InverseFourier[fftMasked]]]]


enter image description here

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
