DESCRIPTION

i.fft is an image processing program based on the FFT algorithm given by Frigo et al. (1998), that processes a single input raster map layer (input_image) and constructs the real and imaginary Fourier components in frequency space.

NOTES

The real and imaginary components are stored into the real_image and imaginary_image raster map layers. In these raster map layers the low frequency components are in the center and the high frequency components are toward the edges. The input_image need not be square. A color table is assigned to the resultant map layer.

The current geographic region and mask settings are respected when reading the input file. The presence of nulls or a mask will make the resulting fast Fourier transform invalid.

EXAMPLE

North Carolina example:
g.region rast=lsat7_2002_70
i.fft input_image=lsat7_2002_70 real=lsat7_2002_70.real imaginary=lsat7_2002_70.imag

# set region to resulting FFT output map (due to new FFT coordinate space):
g.region rast=lsat7_2002_70.real -p
d.mon x0
d.rast lsat7_2002_70.real
d.rast lsat7_2002_70.imag
