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:


enter image description here


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

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
