up/down sample an input matrix using the fourier domain.

updownsample( in_m,out_x_sz,out_y_sz,is_fourier_flag,is_real_flag )
function out_m = updownsample( in_m,out_x_sz,out_y_sz,is_fourier_flag,is_real_flag )
%
% updownsample - up-sample or down-sample an input series using fourier domain
%                input series needs to be continuous of a high degree
%
% format:   out_m = updownsample( in_m,out_x_sz,out_y_sz,is_fourier_flag,is_real_flag )
%
% input:    in_m                - input matrix for up/down sampling. can be in
%                                 space domain OR in fourier domain, in such
%                                 case, needs to be in matlab format !!!
%                                 (matlab-format = the save as given from fft/fft2)
%           out_x_sz,out_y_sz   - desired number of pixels in the output image
%           is_fourier_flag     - 1: the input is given in the fourier domain
%                                 0: the input is given in the space domain
%                                    (we need to use fft2 to convert to fourier domain)
%           is_real_flag        - 0: the input is a complex matrix -> don't use
%                                    abs() at the output, perform complex
%                                    up/down sampling
%                                 1: the input is real BUT has negative values ->
%                                    use real() at the output
%                                 2: the input is real and positive -> using
%                                    abs() at the output 
%
% output:   out_m               - up/down sampled image 
%
% NOTE: it is important to specify if the image is REAL or COMPLEX, since
%       if the image is REAL -> we have to use ABS() on the inverse fourier
%       transform (because of roundoff errors of the transform).
%
% NOTE: since a desired amount of pixels is needed at the output, there is
%       no attempt to use matrices which are in size of power of 2. this
%       optimization can not be used in this case
%
% NOTE: input series needs to be CONTINUOUS OF A HIGH DEGREE, since the
%       upsampling is done in the frequency domain, which samples the output
%       grid with SINE-like (harmonic) functions
%
% 
% Example:  type "updownsample" for an example. it will load the matlab's
%           child image to a temporary variable, as upsample it
%
%               out = updownsample( A,300,300,0,1 );
%               figure;
%               colormap gray;
%               subplot( 1,2,1 );
%               imagesc( A );
%               subplot( 1,2,2 );
%               imagesc( out );
%


% 
% Theory:   the upsampling is done by zero-padding in the input domain BETWEEN the samples,
%           then at the fourier domain, taking the single spectrum (out of the repetition of spectrums)
%           i.e. low pass with Fcutoff=PI/upsample_factor, zeroing the rest of the spectrum
%           and then doing ifft to the distribution.
%           since we have a zero padding operation in time, we need to multiply by the fourier gain.
%
%              +-----------+     +-------+     +---------+     +--------+     +--------+
%   y[n,m] --> | up-sample | --> |  FFT  | --> |   LPF   | --> | * Gain | --> |  IFFT  | --> interpolated 
%              | factor M  |     +-------+     | Fc=PI/M |     +--------+     +--------+
%              +-----------+                   +---------+
%
%           this operation is the same as the following one (which has less operations):
%
%              +-------+     +--------+     +--------------+     +--------+
%   y[n,m] --> |  FFT  | --> | * Gain | --> | Zero Padding | --> |  IFFT  | --> interpolated 
%              +-------+     +--------+     +--------------+     +--------+
%
%           NOTE THAT, the zero-padding must be such that the D.C. ferquency remains the D.C. frequency
%           and that the zero padding is applied to both positive and negative frequencies. 
%           The zero padding actually condences the frequency -> which yields a longer series in the 
%           image domain, but without any additional information, thus the operation must be an interpolation.
