The fourier transform of an image is symmetric respect to the centre. A gaussian decays to zero nicely so it doesnt include faroff neighbours in the weighted average during convolution. The output of the transformation represents the image in the fourier or frequency domain, while the input image is the spatial domain equivalent. A gaussian filter has nicer lowpass filter properties because the fourier transform of a gaussian is a gaussian. The bandpass filter in imagej continues the image outside the image area with its mirrored counterpart to avoid any jumps at the edges, greatly reducing such artifacts.

For the fourierdomain filter operations, the image is padded to a power. Filtering the frequency of the alternating x axis intensities cleans up the image. If there is noise in the laser, then this shows up most dramatically in adjacent x axis scans. My aim is to remove these from the fabs image and then inverse fft and then view this processed image. In preparing images for presentation, resample as little as possible. Filter types include circular pass and cut, band pass and cut, and userdrawn pass and cut. Use the fourier transform for frequency and power spectrum analysis of timedomain signals. But the fft image suggests that lower and higher frequency information is present from 2 to 64 units per cycle but in nearly same rate of occurrence judging from relative brightness. The bandpass filter uses a special algorithm to reduce edge artifacts before the fourier transform, the image is extended in size by attaching mirrored copies of image parts outside the original image, thus no jumps occur at the edges.
If the mouse is over an active frequency domain fft window, its location is. Those tools are for instance fft 2d 3d, image calculator, distance transform.

The fourier transform is an important image processing tool which is used to decompose an image into its sine and cosine components. The power spectrum image is displayed with logarithmic scaling, enhancing the visibility of components that are weakly visible. If we filter out the high frequencies, we apply a low pass filter. The image is converted into spatial frequencies using a fast fourier transform, the appropriate filter is applied, and the image is converted back using an inverse fft.
