The pseudopolar FFT plays the role of a halfway point-a nearly-polar system from which conversion to polar coordinates uses processes relying purely on interpolation operations, and the conversion process is described.
Abstract
In this article we develop a fast high accuracy polar FFT. For a given two-dimensional signal of size N/spl times/N, the proposed algorithm's complexity is O(N/sup 2/ log N), just like in a Cartesian 2D-FFT. A special feature of our approach is that it involves only 1-D equispaced FFT's and 1D interpolations. A central tool in our approach is the pseudopolar FFT, an FFT where the evaluation frequencies lie in an over-sampled set of nonangularly equispaced points. The pseudopolar FFT plays the role of a halfway point-a nearly-polar system from which conversion to polar coordinates uses processes relying purely on interpolation operations. We describe the conversion process, and compare accuracy results obtained by unequally-sampled FFT methods to ours and show marked advantage to our approach.

Radon transform orientation estimation for rotation invariant texture analysis

TL;DR: In the proposed approach, the Radon transform is first employed to detect the principal direction of the texture and a wavelet transform is applied to the rotated image to extract texture features, providing a features space with small intraclass variability and, therefore, good separation between different classes.

On the computation of the polar FFT

TL;DR: In this paper, the polar and pseudo-polar FFT can be computed very accurately and efficiently by the well-known nonequispaced FFT, and the reconstruction of a 2D signal from its Fourier transform samples on a (pseudo)polar grid by means of the inverse nonequispecific FFT is discussed.
