Low-level transform support module
#include "diplib/dft.h"
template<typename T>
dip::DFT class

An object that encapsulates the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

Contents

Usage:

DFT dft( size, inverse );          // creates the object with all the data ready to start running DFTs.
dft.Apply( in, out );              // computes a DFT, repeat as necessary
dft.Initialize( size2, inverse );  // changes the options for the new size / direction
dft.Apply( in, out );              // computes a different DFT, repeat as necessary

The template can be instantiated for T = float or T = double. Linker errors will result for other types.

The DFT is computed using either PocketFFT or FFTW, depending on compile-time configuration (see the DIP_ENABLE_FFTW CMake configuration option).

When using FFTW, dip::maximumDFTSize is the largest length of the transform. PocketFFT does not have this limit.

Constructors, destructors, assignment and conversion operators

DFT() defaulted
A default-initialized DFT object is useless. Call Initialize to make it useful.
DFT(dip::uint size, bool inverse, dip::Option::DFTOptions options = {})
Construct a DFT object, see dip::DFT::Initialize for the meaning of the parameters. Note that this is not a trivial operation. Not thread safe.

Functions

void Initialize(dip::uint size, bool inverse, dip::Option::DFTOptions options = {})
Re-configure a DFT object to the given transform size and direction. more...
void Apply(std::complex<T>* source, std::complex<T>* destination, T scale) const

auto IsInverse() const -> bool
Returns true if this represents an inverse transform, false for a forward transform.
auto IsInplace() const -> bool
Returns whether the transform is configured to work in place or not. Not meaningful when using PocketFFT.
auto IsAligned() const -> bool
Returns whether the transform is configured to work on aligned buffers or not. Not meaningful when using PocketFFT.
auto TransformSize() const -> dip::uint
Returns the size that the transform is configured for.
auto BufferSize() const -> dip::uint deprecated
Returns the size of the buffer expected by Apply.
void Destroy() private
Frees memory

Function documentation

template<typename T>
void Initialize(dip::uint size, bool inverse, dip::Option::DFTOptions options = {})

Re-configure a DFT object to the given transform size and direction.

size is the size of the transform. The two pointers passed to dip::DFT::Apply are expected to point at buffers with this length. If inverse is true, an inverse transform will be computed.

options determines some properties for the algorithm that will compute the DFT.

When using PocketFFT, all these options are ignored.

Note that this is not a trivial operation, planning an FFT costs time.

This operation is not thread safe.

template<typename T>
void Apply(std::complex<T>* source, std::complex<T>* destination, T scale) const

Apply the transform that the DFT object is configured for.

source and destination are pointers to contiguous buffers with dip::DFT::TransformSize elements. This is the value of the size parameter of the constructor or dip::DFT::Initialize. These two pointers can point to the same address for in-place operation; otherwise they must point to non-overlapping regions of memory. When using FFTW, the inplace parameter to the constructor or dip::DFT::Initialize must be true if the two pointers here are the same, or false if they are different.

The input array is not marked const. If dip::Option::DFTOption::TrashInput is given when planning, the input array can be overwritten with intermediate data, but otherwise will be left intact.

scale is a real scalar that the output values are multiplied by. It is typically set to 1/size for the inverse transform, and 1 for the forward transform.
