VTKSpectrum

VTKEx/Cxx/ImageProcessing/VTKSpectrum

Description

The discrete Fourier transform changes an image from the spatial domain into the frequency domain, where each pixel represents a sinusoidal function. This example shows an image and its power spectrum displayed using a logarithmic transfer function.

Info

See Figure 10-10 in Chapter 10 the VTK Textbook.

Download and Build VTKSpectrum

Click here to download VTKSpectrum and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball VTKSpectrum.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd VTKSpectrum/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./VTKSpectrum

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
