tb_cx_ifft — 2D typed op

Data kinds: cimageimage

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

tb_cx_ifft: 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.*

*The output is shown in a viridis-like pseudo-colour (dark purple = low, yellow = high) so that a field of quantities — distance, phase, orientation, depth — can be read.*

*Knob a does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Usage

Inverse of :func:cx_fft: `ifft2(ifftshift(cx))`.

With `real=True` (default) the real part is returned as an image (the

imaginary part is numerical dust for a spectrum that came from a real image);

with `real=False` the full complex spatial field is returned (holography /

coherent imaging, where the imaginary part carries signal). A real array is

FFT'd first (module convenience), making `cx_ifft` an involution on it.

Typed bridge of the 2d op `cx_ifft into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b` are unused.

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.
