FourierProcesses

FIXME THIS position should be used for a brief introduction (max 2 sentences!) of the logic, stating WHAT and WHY it is doing something.

FIXME Here, a general/generic description of HOW the logic is USED should be given. Try to be as general as possible, but also mention prerequisites, restrictions, advantages, requirements which are specific of this logic. Basically everything the user needs to know to successfully use this logic.

Calculates a Bispectrum for the two input image stacks, which is defined as the third order cumulant-generating function:

B(f1,f2) = F*(f1+f2).F(f1).F(f2)

where f1 and f2 are the input images , F is an images' Fourier Transform and F* its conjugate.

For every pair of images, a bispectrum is generated. While both inputs can have different sizes, the amount of generated bispectra is equal to the maximum number of unambigous image pairs that can be formed, which is the size of the smaller of the two stacks.

Also, both images need to have the same dimensions (and dimensionality).

Use this module to generate power spectra of single particles used as input data during CTF correction. Note: For K2 Particles, turn off the highpass filter for power spectra.

Parameters Description
Output size Width and height size of the power spectra. The new size is achieved by cropping (this changes the pixel size of the power spectra!) [in pixel]
Highpass value Gaussian highpass filter value used directly on the input data. [0…1]
Apply softmask If checked, applies a circular soft mask to the input images.
Apply highpass filter If checked, applies a highpass filter to the computed power spectra.
Low freq cutoff If Apply highpass filter to power spectra is checked, this value defines the Gaussian highpass value used to filter the computed power spectra. [0…1]
Constant value to add This value is added to each pixel of the power spectrum. [a floating point number]
Logarithmic power spectrum If checked, calculates the pixel values of the power spectrum on a logarithmic scale.
Filtering type Select, whether a cosine- or Gaussian-shaped transition curve should be used for filtering.

Parameters Description
Pad size FIXME

This processor performs Fourier transformations either from real-to-complex (forward), complex-to-real (backward) or complex-to-complex. Attention: Due to algorithmic reasons, every pixel value of the images is scaled by the factor sidelength x sidelength.

Parameters Description
Dimensionality Dimensionality (2 or 3) of the input
FT direction [0 = fw, 1 = bw] For complex-to-complex transformation, the direction needs to be given

This processor coarses images, this is performed in Fourier space. This allows floating point numbers to be used as coarse factors.

Parameters Description
Coarse factor The coarse factor used to calculate the new image size (oldSize / coarseFactor = newSize).

This processor computes the power spectrum of EM micrograph data by splitting it in multiple smaller images to enhance contrast and visibility of Thon rings. It only works properly on even sized images.

Parameters Description
No of images cut out Sets the number of images cut out in each direction.
Size of cut images Size of cut out images. Needs to be smaller than the input images. This is also the size of the output images.

This processor computes the power spectrum or phase spectrum of real or complex image data. Input images need to meet the following requirements: Height == Width, Height % 2 == 0.

Parameters Description
Automatic level adjustment Enables auto level adjustment, ignoring the 20% most outlying pixels and scaling accordingly.
Logarithmic Enables scaling all power spectrum pixel values logarithmically.
Display mode Selects the desired display mode: phase = displays phase information; power = displays power spectrum.
Skip Fourier transformation This value enables skipping the Fourier transformation. Use this option when input data is already in Fourier space.
