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

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
