img_to_cimage — 2D bridge op

Data kinds: imagecimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "img_to_cimage", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

img_to_cimage: input → output

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*

Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

img_to_cimage: knob a sweep (docs site)

Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

img_to_cimage: knob b sweep (docs site)

On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

img_to_cimage: other inputs (docs site)

*The 4th column is a colour (H,W,3) input. This op handles colour without crossing channels (it does not convolve the colour channel as a third spatial axis).*

Usage

Use the image as amplitude and a phase from pixel value plus tilt to build a complex field (H,W) complex128.

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

`field = img * exp(i * (2π * a * img + 2π * (b - 0.5) * 8 * x / W))`。

振幅 = 画素値(透過率・開口として読む)、位相は 値に比例する成分(位相物体

としての厚み)と x 方向の線形な傾き(平面波の入射角)の和。角スペクトル法

`tb_angular_spectrum_propagatetb_cx_*` の族が受ける複素画像の合成器。

• `a → 位相の深さ 2π * a * img`(a=0 で実場、a=0.5 で最大 π)。

• `b → 傾き。(b - 0.5) * 8` 周期ぶんの線形位相を x 方向に掛ける

(b=0.5 で傾き 0。8 は「128 px で 8 縞」の目安)。

• 返り値: `(H, W) complex128。|field| = imgarg` は上式。

• 値 0 の画素は位相が定義できない(`0 * exp(iφ) = 0`)。
