Abstract

A band-pass filter with at least one passband, which is real, bidimensional, oriented along the phase axis and resulting from the product of two identical one-dimensional Hamming windows, the transfer function of each of these windows being: X i ⁡ ( f ) = α i + ( 1 - α i ) ⁢ cos ⁢ π ⁡ ( f - f ⁢ ⁢ q i ) f0 i , w ⁢ ⁢ h ⁢ ⁢ e ⁢ ⁢ r ⁢ ⁢ e f is a current frequency; αi is a real number, included between and excluding 0 and 1; fqi is a central frequency of the passband; and f 0 i defines half of the passband centered on fqi.

Claims (71)

1. A band-pass filter in the frequency domain with at least one pass band, which is real, bidimensional, oriented along a phase axis and resulting from the product of two identical one-dimensional Hamming windows, a transfer function of each of these windows being:

where:

f is a current frequency;

α i is a real number, included between and excluding 0 and 1;

fq i is a central frequency of the passband; and

f0 i defines half of the passband centered on fq i .

2. The filter of claim 1 , wherein the windows are Hanning windows, for which a real number α i is 0.54.

3. The filter of claim 1 , wherein the filter has a passband having a width of one octave.

4. The filter of claim 3 , wherein the windows are Hanning windows and wherein the passband of each of the Hanning windows is defined by:

where arcos designates the inverse cosine function.

5. A band-pass filter with several passbands, wherein each passband is defined by claim 1 .

6. The filter of claim 1 , wherein such a filter is applied to a detection of a texture of a ring-shaped element, the texture being a set of information varying according to an angular position in concentric circles.

7. The filter of claim 1 , wherein the filter is used to process a digital image.
