Spatial FrequencyorFourier Transform Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier
Why are Spatial Frequencies important? • Efficient data representation • Provides a means for modeling and removing noise • Physical processes are often best described in “frequency domain” • Provides a powerful means of image analysis
What is spatial frequency? • Instead of describing a function (i.e., a shape) by a series of positions • It is described by a series of cosines
What is spatial frequency? g(x) = A cos(x) g(x) 2 A x
What is spatial frequency? A cos(x 2/L) g(x) = A cos(x 2/) A cos(x 2f) g(x) Period (L) Wavelength () Frequency f=(1/ ) Amplitude (A) Magnitude (A) x
What is spatial frequency? g(x) = A cos(x 2f) g(x) A x (1/f) period
But what if cosine is shifted in phase? g(x) = A cos(x 2f + ) g(x) x
What is spatial frequency? Let us take arbitrary g(x) x g(x) 0.00 2 cos(0.25) = 0.707106... 0.25 2 cos(0.50) = 0.0 0.50 2 cos(0.75) = -0.707106... 0.75 2 cos(1.00) = -1.0 1.00 2 cos(1.25) = -0.707106… 1.25 2 cos(1.50) = 0 1.50 2 cos(1.75) = 0.707106... 1.75 2 cos(2.00) = 1.0 2.00 2 cos(2.25) = 0.707106... g(x) = A cos(x 2f + ) A=2 m f = 0.5 m-1 = 0.25 = 45 g(x) = 2 cos(x 2(0.5) + 0.25) 2 cos(x + 0.25) We calculate discrete values of g(x) for various values of x We substitute values of A, f and
What is spatial frequency? g(x) = A cos(x 2f + ) g(x) We calculate discrete values of g(x) for various values of x x
Now we take discrete values of Ai , fi and i gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2fi + i), i = 0,1,2,3,... x
Now we substitute fi = i/N 0 N gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2fi + i), i = 0,1,2,3,... gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N-1 f=i/N N = time interval
Values for various values of i 0 N gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N-1 f=i/N We calculate values of function for various values of i
Substituting various values of i to the formula we get various cosinusoides gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N-1 A2 A1 A0 i=1 i=2 i=0
Changing N to N/2 gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N/2 - 1 If N equals the number of pixel in a line, then... i=0 i=N/2 - 1 Lowest frequency Highest frequency
What is spatial frequency? gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N/2-1 If N equals the number of pixels in a line, then... i=0 i=N/2-1 Lowest frequency Highest frequency
What will happen if we take N/2? gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N/2-1 If N equals the number of pixel in a line, then... i=0 i=N/2 Lowest frequency Too high Redundant frequency
What is spatial frequency? g(x) = A cos(x 2f + ) gi(x) = Ai cos(x 2i/N+ i), i = 0,1,2,3,…,N/2-1
We try to approximate a periodic function with standard trivial (orthogonal, base) functions Low frequency + Medium frequency = + High frequency

Main concept – summation of base functions Any function of x (any shape) that can be represented by g(x) can also be represented by the summation of cosine functions Observe two numbers for every i

< < image ..and its spectrum
Convolution Theorem Let g(u,v) be the kernel Let h(u,v) be the image G(k,l) = DFT[g(u,v)] H(k,l) = DFT[h(u,v)] Then This is a very important result where means multiplication and means convolution. This means that an image can be filtered in the Spatial Domain or the Frequency Domain.
