How to design for Fourier filters?

AI Thread Summary
To achieve edge enhancement in Fourier optics, high pass filtering involves converting the image to the Fourier domain, removing unwanted low-frequency components, and performing an inverse Fourier transform. The design of filters is complex, requiring careful consideration of filter dimensions and spatial frequency characterization. Specific methods for calculating filter dimensions are not commonly detailed in standard texts. For more specialized guidance, engaging with the comp.dsp USENET newsgroup is recommended. This approach can provide targeted assistance for designing filters tailored to specific optical image processing needs.

I am working on an experiment on Fourier optics-optical image processing. In order to get edge enhancement, how do we actually go about high pass filtering. How to design filters? How to decide the filter dimensions? Can anyone please help me?

Convert the image to the Fourier domain, lop off the low-frequency components you don't want, then take the inverse Fourier transform to get back an image. The design of filters is an immense topic, much too large to describe here.

I have done that. But to get edge enhancement, hoe to calculate the dimensions of the high pass filter? How to characterize the spatial frequencies? I went through a few books but none gave a method to design filters for my purpose. Would you help me?

i would take this question to the comp.dsp USENET newsgroup. Google Groups is one way to post there.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
