Description

gen_gaborgen_gaborGenGaborGenGaborGenGaborgen_gabor generates a Gabor filter with a user-definable bandpass frequency range and sign for the Hilbert transform. This is done by calculating a symmetrical filter in the frequency domain, which can be adapted by the parameters AngleAngleAngleAngleangleangle, FrequencyFrequencyFrequencyFrequencyfrequencyfrequency, BandwidthBandwidthBandwidthBandwidthbandwidthbandwidth and OrientationOrientationOrientationOrientationorientationorientation such that a certain frequency band and a certain direction range in the spatial domain is filtered out in the frequency domain.

The parameters FrequencyFrequencyFrequencyFrequencyfrequencyfrequency (central frequency = distance from the DC term) and OrientationOrientationOrientationOrientationorientationorientation (direction) determine the center of the filter. Larger values of FrequencyFrequencyFrequencyFrequencyfrequencyfrequency result in higher frequencies being passed. A value of 0 for OrientationOrientationOrientationOrientationorientationorientation generates a horizontally oriented “crescent” (the bulge of the crescent points upward). Higher values of OrientationOrientationOrientationOrientationorientationorientation result in the counterclockwise rotation of the crescent.

The parameters AngleAngleAngleAngleangleangle and BandwidthBandwidthBandwidthBandwidthbandwidthbandwidth are used to determine the range of frequencies and angles being passed by the filter. The larger AngleAngleAngleAngleangleangle is, the smaller the range of angles passed by the filter gets (because the “crescent” gets narrower). The larger BandwidthBandwidthBandwidthBandwidthbandwidthbandwidth is, the smaller the frequency band being passed gets (because the “crescent” gets thinner).

To achieve a maximum overall efficiency of the filtering operation, the parameter NormNormNormNormnormnorm can be used to specify the normalization factor of the filter. If fft_genericfft_genericFftGenericFftGenericFftGenericfft_generic and NormNormNormNormnormnorm = 'n'"n""n""n""n""n" is used the normalization in the FFT can be avoided. ModeModeModeModemodemode can be used to determine where the DC term of the filter lies. If fft_genericfft_genericFftGenericFftGenericFftGenericfft_generic is used, 'dc_edge'"dc_edge""dc_edge""dc_edge""dc_edge""dc_edge" can be used to gain efficiency. If fft_imagefft_imageFftImageFftImageFftImagefft_image and fft_image_invfft_image_invFftImageInvFftImageInvFftImageInvfft_image_inv are used for filtering, NormNormNormNormnormnorm = 'none'"none""none""none""none""none" and ModeModeModeModemodemode = 'dc_center'"dc_center""dc_center""dc_center""dc_center""dc_center" must be used. Note that gen_gaborgen_gaborGenGaborGenGaborGenGaborgen_gabor cannot create a filter that can be used with rft_genericrft_genericRftGenericRftGenericRftGenericrft_generic.

The resulting image is a two-channel real-image, containing the Gabor filter in the first channel and the corresponding Hilbert filter in the second channel.
