Problem
  

This post continues our series of posts on a programmatic investigation of the effects of the location and thickness of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines on the magnitude and phase components of 2D FFT. In this post, we will start our investigation of vertical lines by modifying their location in the image without modifying their thickness. The MATLAB source of our programmatic investigation is in the last section of this post. The previous post on horizontal lines is here.

Centrally Positioned Vertical Line

Figure 1 shows a vertical line centrally positioned in the image.

Figure 1. Centrally positioned vertical line (ver_line_01a.jpg)

We add the path, read the image, and display it. 
 
addpath C:\Users\Vladimir\research\images\
ImgVerLine_01a = imread('ver_line_01a', 'jpg');

figure;
imshow(ImgVerLine_01a);
title('VER LINE 01a');

Now we compute the 2D FFT of the image in Figure 1. The image is converted into a 2D double matrix. The fftshift command positions the 0,0 origin to the center of the image. We compute the absolute magnitude of each value in the 2D matrix and take the log of each value. 1 is added to each value before taking the log, because log(0) is not defined.
 
%%% ff2 magnitude
fftVerLine01a = fft2(double(ImgVerLine_01a));
fftVerLine01a = fftshift(fftVerLine01a);
fftVerLine01a = abs(fftVerLine01a);
fftVerLine01a = log(fftVerLine01a+1);
fftVerLine01a = mat2gray(fftVerLine01a);

The magnitude image is shown in Figure 2. As can be seen in Figure 2, the FFT magnitude shows a line orthogonal to the vertical line in Figure 1. Note that with horizontal lines the 2D FFT magnitude lines are vertical.

imshow(fftVerLine01a);

We compute the phase component and display it. The image is shown in Figure 3.

%%% fft2 phase
fftVerLine01a_PHASE = fft2(double(ImgVerLine_01a));
fftVerLine01a_PHASE = fftshift(fftVerLine01a_PHASE);
fftVerLine01a_PHASE = angle(fftVerLine01a_PHASE);

figure;
imshow(fftVerLine01a_PHASE, [-pi, pi]), colormap(gray);
