gen_bandfilter
— Generate an ideal band filter.
Signature
gen_bandfilter( : ImageFilter : MinFrequency, MaxFrequency, Norm, Mode, Width, Height : )
Description
gen_bandfilter
generates an ideal band filter in the
frequency domain. The parameters MinFrequency
and
MaxFrequency
determine the cutoff frequencies of the filter
as a fraction of the maximum (horizontal and vertical) frequency
that can be represented in an image of size Width
x Height
, i.e., MinFrequency
and
MaxFrequency
should lie between 0 and 1. To achieve a
maximum overall efficiency of the filtering operation, the parameter
Norm
can be used to specify the normalization factor of the
filter. If fft_generic
and Norm
= 'n'
is used the normalization in the FFT can be avoided. Mode
can be used to determine where the DC term of the filter lies or
whether the filter should be used in the real-valued FFT. If
fft_generic
is used, 'dc_edge' can be used to gain
efficiency. If fft_image
and fft_image_inv
are used
for filtering, Norm
= 'none' and Mode
= 'dc_center' must be used. If rft_generic
is
used, Mode
= 'rft' must be used. The resulting
image contains an annulus with the value 0, and a value determined
by the normalization outside of this annulus.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.

Example (HDevelop)
* Filtering with maximum efficiency with fft_generic. gen_bandpass(Bandfilter,0.2,0.4,'n','dc_edge',Width,Height) fft_generic(Image,ImageFFT,'to_freq',-1,'none','dc_edge','complex') convol_fft(ImageFFT,Bandfilter,ImageConvol) fft_generic(ImageConvol,ImageResult,'from_freq',1,'none','dc_edge','byte')
Result
gen_bandfilter
returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if all parameters are
correct. If necessary, an exception is raised.
