Good afternoon everyone!
Is there a way to do a Fourier Transform of 2D HDRI in Matlab?
Thank you,

Hello Yulia,
This command reads a Radiance-formatted HDR image into Matlab:
Img = hdrread('Image.hdr');
The following 3 commands perform 2D fast Fourier filtering on the Red, Green, and Blue image planes, respectively.
FRed = fft2(Img(:,:,1));
FGreen = fft2(Img(:,:,2));
FBlue = fft2(Img(:,:,3));
I'm not sure what you are planing to do, but you can also do the work with luminance values by first preparing the image using Radiance commands. For example, from the command line:
>> pvalue -o -b RGBImage.hdr > Luminance.dat
>> pvalue -o -b -r Luminance.dat > RedundantGrayscaleImage.hdr
Then in Matlab, strip off two redundant image planes, and you are left with luminance.
A second, perhaps easier way to get luminance values is to rewrite this famous equation in Matlab:
luminance = 179 * (0.265*R + 0.670*G + 0.065*B)
Modified for Matlab, this should do the trick:
Luminance = 179 .* (0.265.*Img(:,:,1) + 0.670.*Img(:,:,2) + 0.065.*Img(:,:,3));
No matter what you are doing, be sure all matrices remain high resolution (i.e., 'double precision' and not 'uint8'), or you will get 8-bit aliasing, clipping, Matlab errors, and all kinds of problems.
In Chapter 4 of my dissertation, there are some image processing techniques using Matlab and Photoshop, including Fourier filtering with Matlab. It might be worth a look:
Evaluating Object Visibility with Simulated Visual Impairment Using Real and Rendered Scenes. URL: http://purl.umn.edu/144216
One more thought: there are also ways to read the header information into Matlab, if necessary. A bit of that is covered in my code snippets of Chapter 4.
Have fun!
