NIH Image

Swaps quadrants 1 and 3 and quadrants 2 and 4 of the active image. Requires an 8-bit image whose height and width are equal and a power of two. Quadrant swapping is performed automatically every time a power spectrum is computed. In the normal, un-swapped, state, the power spectrum's central peak is distributed among the four corners of the image. While this is the format used in all computations, it doesn't correspond to nature's FFT analog, the diffraction pattern. This command is useful because crosscorrelation and autocorrelation operations (the 'cMul' operator in Image Math) result in inherently un-swapped space domain images, yet like power spectra, correlation functions are often displayed in quadrant swapped format. The Swap Quadrants command lets you choose the format you desire.
