## Detailed Description

These functions realize a separable convolution on an arbitrary dimensional array that is specified by iterators (compatible to Multi-dimensional Array Iterators) and shape objects. It can therefore be applied to a wide range of data structures (vigra::MultiArrayView, vigra::MultiArray etc.).

## Function Documentation

void vigra::separableConvolveMultiArray | ( |  | ... | ) |

Separated convolution on multi-dimensional arrays.

This function computes a separated convolution on all dimensions of the given multi-dimensional array. Both source and destination arrays are represented by iterators, shape objects and accessors. The destination array is required to already have the correct size.

There are two variants of this functions: one takes a single kernel of type vigra::Kernel1D which is then applied to all dimensions, whereas the other requires an iterator referencing a sequence of vigra::Kernel1D objects, one for every dimension of the data. Then the first kernel in this sequence is applied to the innermost dimension (e.g. the x-axis of an image), while the last is applied to the outermost dimension (e.g. the z-axis in a 3D image).

This function may work in-place, which means that `source.data() == dest.data()` is allowed. A full-sized internal array is only allocated if working on the destination array directly would cause round-off errors (i.e. if `typeid(typename NumericTraits<T2>::RealPromote) != typeid(T2)`).

If `start` and `stop` have non-default values, they must represent a valid subarray of the input array. The convolution is then restricted to that subarray, and it is assumed that the output array only refers to the subarray (i.e. `dest.shape() == stop - start`). Negative ROI boundaries are interpreted relative to the end of the respective dimension (i.e. `if(stop[k] < 0) stop[k] += source.shape(k);`).

void vigra::convolveMultiArrayOneDimension | ( |  | ... | ) |

Convolution along a single dimension of a multi-dimensional arrays.

This function computes a convolution along one dimension (specified by the parameter `dim` of the given multi-dimensional array with the given `kernel`. The destination array must already have the correct size.

If `start` and `stop` have non-default values, they must represent a valid subarray of the input array. The convolution is then restricted to that subarray, and it is assumed that the output array only refers to the subarray (i.e. `dest.shape() == stop - start`). Negative ROI boundaries are interpreted relative to the end of the respective dimension (i.e. `if(stop[k] < 0) stop[k] += source.shape(k);`).

This function may work in-place, which means that `source.data() == dest.data()` is allowed.

void vigra::convolveFFT | ( |  | ... | ) |

Convolve an array with a kernel by means of the Fourier transform.

Thanks to the convolution theorem of Fourier theory, a convolution in the spatial domain is equivalent to a multiplication in the frequency domain. Thus, for certain kernels (especially large, non-separable ones), it is advantageous to perform the convolution by first transforming both array and kernel to the frequency domain, multiplying the frequency representations, and transforming the result back into the spatial domain. Some kernels have a much simpler definition in the frequency domain, so that they are readily computed there directly, avoiding Fourier transformation of those kernels.

The following functions implement various variants of FFT-based convolution:

    <DL>
    <DT><b>convolveFFT</b><DD> Convolve a real-valued input array with a kernel such that the
                        result is also real-valued. That is, the kernel is either provided
                        as a real-valued array in the spatial domain, or as a
                        complex-valued array in the Fourier domain, using the half-space format
                        of the R2C Fourier transform (see below).
    <DT><b>convolveFFTMany</b><DD> Like <tt>convolveFFT</tt>, but you may provide many kernels at once
                        (using an iterator pair specifying the kernel sequence).
                        This has the advantage that the forward transform of the input array needs
                        to be executed only once.
    <DT><b>convolveFFTComplex</b><DD> Convolve a complex-valued input array with a complex-valued kernel,
                        resulting in a complex-valued output array. An additional flag is used to
                        specify whether the kernel is defined in the spatial or frequency domain.
    <DT><b>convolveFFTComplexMany</b><DD> Like <tt>convolveFFTComplex</tt>, but you may provide many kernels at once
                        (using an iterator pair specifying the kernel sequence).
                        This has the advantage that the forward transform of the input array needs
                        to be executed only once.
    </DL>

The output arrays must have the same shape as the input arrays. In the "Many" variants of the convolution functions, the kernels must all have the same shape.

The origin of the kernel is always assumed to be in the center of the kernel array (precisely, at the point `floor(kernel.shape() / 2.0)`, except when the half-space format is used, see below). The function moveDCToUpperLeft() will be called internally to align the kernel with the transformed input as appropriate.

If a real input is combined with a real kernel, the kernel is automatically assumed to be defined in the spatial domain. If a real input is combined with a complex kernel, the kernel is assumed to be defined in the Fourier domain in half-space format. If the input array is complex, a flag `fourierDomainKernel` determines where the kernel is defined.

When the kernel is defined in the spatial domain, the convolution functions will automatically pad (enlarge) the input array by at least the kernel radius in each direction. The newly added space is filled according to reflective boundary conditions in order to minimize border artifacts during convolution. It is thus ensured that convolution in the Fourier domain yields the same results as convolution in the spatial domain (e.g. when separableConvolveMultiArray() is called with the same kernel). A little further padding may be added to make sure that the padded array shape uses integers which have only small prime factors, because FFTW is then able to use the fastest possible algorithms. Any padding is automatically removed from the result arrays before the function returns.

When the kernel is defined in the frequency domain, it must be complex-valued, and its shape determines the shape of the Fourier representation (i.e. the input is padded according to the shape of the kernel). If we are going to perform a complex-valued convolution, the kernel must be defined for the entire frequency domain, and its shape directly determines the size of the FFT.

In contrast, a frequency domain kernel for a real-valued convolution must have symmetry properties that allow to drop half of the kernel coefficients, as in the R2C transform. That is, the kernel must have the half-space format, that is the shape returned by `fftwCorrespondingShapeR2C(fourier_shape)`, where `fourier_shape` is the desired logical shape of the frequency representation (and thus the size of the padded input). The origin of the kernel must be at the point `(0, floor(fourier_shape[0] / 2.0), ..., floor(fourier_shape[N-1] / 2.0))` (i.e. as in a regular kernel except for the first dimension).

The `Real` type in the declarations can be `double`, `float`, and `long double`. Your program must always link against `libfftw3`. If you use `float` or `long double` arrays, you must additionally link against `libfftw3f` and `libfftw3l` respectively.

The Fourier transform functions internally create FFTW plans which control the algorithm details. The plans are creates with the flag `FFTW_ESTIMATE`, i.e. optimal settings are guessed or read from saved "wisdom" files. If you need more control over planning, you can use the class FFTWConvolvePlan.

See also applyFourierFilter() for corresponding functionality on the basis of the old image iterator interface.
