vtkImageFFT

Section: Visualization Toolkit Imaging Classes

Usage

vtkImageFFT implements a fast Fourier transform. The input can have real or complex data in any components and data types, but the output is always complex doubles with real values in component0, and imaginary values in component1. The filter is fastest for images that have power of two sizes. The filter uses a butterfly fitlers for each prime factor of the dimension. This makes images with prime number dimensions (i.e. 17x17) much slower to compute. Multi dimensional (i.e volumes) FFT's are decomposed so that each axis executes in series.

To create an instance of class vtkImageFFT, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkImageFFT
