% PLOTGABORFILTERS - Plots log-Gabor filters
%
% The purpose of this code is to see what effect the various parameter
% settings have on the formation of a log-Gabor filter bank.
%
% Usage: [Ffilter, Efilter, Ofilter] = plotgaborfilters(sze, nscale, norient,...
% minWaveLength, mult, sigmaOnf, dThetaOnSigma)
%
% Arguments:
% Many of the parameters relate to the specification of the filters in the frequency plane.
%
% Variable Suggested Description
% name value
% ----------------------------------------------------------
% sze = 200 Size of image grid on which the filters
% are calculated. Note that the actual size
% of the filter is really specified by its
% wavelength.
% nscale = 4; Number of wavelet scales.
% norient = 6; Number of filter orientations.
% minWaveLength = 3; Wavelength of smallest scale filter.
% mult = 1.7; Scaling factor between successive filters.
% sigmaOnf = 0.65; Ratio of the standard deviation of the
% Gaussian describing the log Gabor filter's
% transfer function in the frequency domain
% to the filter center frequency.
% dThetaOnSigma = 1.3; Ratio of angular interval between filter
% orientations and the standard deviation of
% the angular Gaussian function used to
% construct filters in the freq. plane.
%
% Note regarding the specification of norient: In the default case it is assumed
% that the angles of the filters are evenly spaced at intervals of pi/norient
% around the frequency plane. If you want to visualize filters at a specific
% set of orientations that are not necessarily evenly spaced you can set the
% orientations by passing a CELL array of orientations as the argument to
% norient. In this case the value supplied for dThetaOnSigma will be used as
% thetaSigma - the angular standard deviation of the filters. Yes, this is
% an ugly abuse of the argument list, but there it is!
% Example:
% View filters over 3 scales with orientations of -0.3 and +0.3 radians,
% minWaveLength of 6, mult of 2, sigmaOnf of 0.65 and thetaSigma of 0.4
% plotgaborfilters2(200, 3, {-.3 .3}, 6, 2, 0.65, 0.4);
%
% Returns:
% Ffilter - a 2D cell array of filters defined in the frequency domain.
% Efilter - a 2D cell array of even filters defined in the spatial domain.
% Ofilter - a 2D cell array of odd filters defined in the spatial domain.
%
% Ffilter{s,o} = filter for scale s and orientation o.
% The even and odd filters in the spatial domain for scale s,
% orientation o, are obtained using.
%
% Efilter = ifftshift(real(ifft2(fftshift(filter{s,o}))));
% Ofilter = ifftshift(imag(ifft2(fftshift(filter{s,o}))));
%
% Plots:
% Figure 1 - Sum of the filters in the frequency domain
% Figure 2 - Cross sections of Figure 1
% Figures 3 and 4 - Surface and intensity plots of filters in the
% spatial domain at the smallest and largest
% scales respectively.
