Operator Reference
power_ln (Operator)
power_ln — Return the power spectrum of a complex image.
Signature
power_ln(Image : ImageResult : : )
Description
power_ln computes the power spectrum from the real and
imaginary parts of a Fourier-transformed image (see
fft_image), i.e., the modulus of the frequencies.
Additionally, the natural logarithm is applied to the result. The
result image is of type real. The following formula is
used:
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
- Automatically parallelized on channel level.
- Automatically parallelized on domain level.
Parameters
Image (input_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) → object (complex)
Input image in frequency domain.
ImageResult (output_object) image(-array) → object (real)
Power spectrum of the input image.
Example (C)
read_image(&Image,"monkey"); disp_image(Image,WindowHandle); fft_image(Image,&FFT); power_ln(FFT,&Power); disp_image(Power,WindowHandle);
Result
power_ln returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if the image is of correct
type. If the input is empty the behavior can be set via
set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:).
If necessary, an exception is raised.
