Filtering in the Frequency Domain Chapter 4
Chapter Objectives • This chapter is concerned primarily with establishing a foundation for the Fourier transform and how it is used in basic image filtering. • Fourier Transformation History • The big Idea • Background
History • Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier • Fourier was born in Auxerre,Francein 1768 Most famous for his work: • “LaThéorie Analitique de la Chaleur” published in 1822. • Translated into English in 1878: “The Analytic Theory of Heat” • Nobody paid much attention when the work was first published. • One of the most important mathematical theories in modern engineering.
The Big Idea Any function that periodically repeats itself can be expressed as a sum of sines and cosines of different frequencies each multiplied by a different coefficient – a Fourier series
Background • Fourier Series • Any periodically repeated function can be expressed of the sum of sines/cosines of different frequencies, each multiplied by a different coefficient • Fourier Transform • Finite curves can be expressed as the integral of sines/cosines multiplied by a weighing function • wildly used in signal processing field • Fourier Series/Transform can be reconstructed completely via an inverse process with no loss of information
The Frequency Domain • Euler’s formula e jθ = cosθ + j sinθ
Discrete Fourier Transform • 1D Discrete Fourier Transform • 2D Discrete Fourier Transform
Basic properties of frequency domain • Each term of F(u, v) contains all values of f(x, y) modified by the values of exponential terms • Not easy to make direct association between specific components of an image and its transform • Frequency is related to rate of change • Frequencies in Fourier transform can be associated with patterns of intensity variations in image • Slowest varying frequency component (u = v = 0) corresponds to average gray level of image • As you move away from origin of transform, low frequencies correspond to slowly varying components of image • Farther away from origin, you have higher frequencies corresponding to faster gray level changes
Filtering Images in theFrequency Domain • Filter or filter transfer function • Suppresses certain frequencies in transform while leaving others unchanged • Fourier transform of the output image G(u, v) = H(u, v) · F(u, v) • Multiplication of H and F is only between corresponding elements G(0, 0) = H(0, 0) · F(0, 0)
Filters in the Frequency Domain • Image Smoothing Using Frequency Domain Filters: • Ideal Lowpass Filters • Butterworth Lowpass Filters • Gaussian Lowpass Filters. • Image sharpening Using Frequency Domain Filters: • Ideal HighpassFilters • Butterworth HighpassFilters • Gaussian HighpassFilters. • The Laplacian in the Frequency Domain • Unsharp Masking, Highboost Filtering, and High-Frequency-Emphasis Filtering
