Abstract
A graphic data processor for processing two-dimensional signals or one-dimensional signals such as observed graphic data. One graphic data processor includes circuitry for effecting two-dimensional Fourier conversion of the observed graphic data signals such that components occur with respect to first through fourth image limits on the resultant two-dimensional Fourier plane; circuitry for forming processed graphic data including circuitry for nullifying all but one of the components from the first through fourth image limits and circuitry for effecting two-dimensional inverse Fourier conversion on the one component to derive the processed graphic data; circuitry for determining the phase component of the processed graphic data; and circuitry for determining the local gradient of said phase component. Another graphic data processor includes circuitry for effecting one-dimensional Fourier conversion of the observed graphic data signals; circuitry for forming processed graphic data including circuitry for nullifying negative components, leaving positive components and circuitry for effecting one-dimensional inverse Fourier conversion on one component to drive the processed graphic data; circuitry for determining the phase component of the processed graphic data; and circuitry for determining the instantaneous frequency.
