Etymology

Compute the two point correlation function of an image

Synopsis

This class allows you to compute two point correlation functions from an image over planes of the specified two axes. Presently only autocorrelations and in particualt the structure function are implemented.

The structure function is S(x,y) = < [image(i,j) - image(i+x,j+y)]**2 > where x and y are absolute integer shifts (or lags) and the ensemble average is for each lag pair, x&y.

Example

Motivation

Taking the Structure Function of an image is a basic part of image analysis

To Do

• Add more types
• Add crosscorrelation

Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

void casa::ImageTwoPtCorr< T >::autoCorrelation	(	ImageInterface< T > &	out,
		const ImageInterface< T > &	in,
		const IPosition &	axes,
		typename LatticeTwoPtCorr< T >::Method	method,
		Bool	progress = True
	)		const

Compute the desired autocorrelation function for the specified plane.

You specify which two axes to compute the structure function over. If the axes array is empty (or not an argument), then the Sky plane is selected if it exists, otherwise the first two axes are selected. The CoordinateSystem of the output image is overwritten. The miscellaneous items (ImageInfo, MiscInfo, Logger) are copied from the input image to the output.

template<class T >

void casa::ImageTwoPtCorr< T >::copyMiscellaneous	(	ImageInterface< T > &	out,
		const ImageInterface< T > &	in
	)		const [private]

Copy MiscInfo, ImageInfo, and logSInk to output.

void casa::ImageTwoPtCorr< T >::setCoordinateSystem	(	ImageInterface< T > &	out,
		const ImageInterface< T > &	in,
		const IPosition &	axes
	)		const [private]

Overwrite the CoordinateSystem.

template<class T >

void casa::ImageTwoPtCorr< T >::setUnit

(

ImageInterface< T > &

out

)

const [private]

Set the brightness unit.

template<class T >

static IPosition casa::ImageTwoPtCorr< T >::setUpAxes	(	const IPosition &	axes,
		const CoordinateSystem &	cSys
	)		[static]

Helper function to set up the axes vector.

If axes is of length 0, it looks for the Sky (DirectionCoordinate). If that's not there, you get the first two axes in the image.

template<class T >

static IPosition casa::ImageTwoPtCorr< T >::setUpShape	(	const IPosition &	inShape,
		const IPosition &	axes
	)		[static]

Helper function to provide output image shape given the input shape and the axes to find the structure function over.
