Fourier Decomposition Demo

Visualizes how an image can be decomposed (and reconstructed) in 2D sinusoidal waves.

This animation shows that (2D) images can be decomposed into sinusoidal waves. Implemented as follows: at each 'iteration' the most prominent wave* is taken away from the input image, and set aside. Where the residual image gradually loses contrast, the removed waves together start forming a new reconstructed image (initially low pass filtered). After 20 waves the rest of the waves is removed in groups of increasing size. (*together with its 'conjugate' wave).
