to quote the help docs:
"The FFT function returns a result equal to the complex, discrete Fourier
transform of Array. "

What most people display is the log power spectrum, ie the logarithm of the
complex conjugate:

disp_im = alog(abs(R)+MIN_FOURIER_VALUE)

where MIN_FOURIER_VALUE is added to prevent very low powers dominating the
display

for the shift:
dim = size(r, /dim)
r = shift(r, dim[0]/2, dim[1]/2)

or all in one:
tvscl, alog(abs(shift(r, dim[0]/2, dim[1]/2))+MIN_FOURIER_VALUE)

note the image should have dimentions which are a power of 2

Cheers

Martin

Hi

I want to do this:
Open and read a BMP file
And then carry out a 2D-FFT
Save the result as BMP file, but with data shifted such that DC
component is in the middle of the image.

I tried the followings:

MYIMAGE=READ_TIFF('c:\image2c.tif')
TV, MYIMAGE
R=FFT(MYIMAGE)
TV, R

It seems the displayed result is the FFT result, but is it really a
2D-FFT ?
And could anyone show me how to shift the dc point at the center of the
display ?

Many Thanks in advance

John
