Autocorrelation function (FFT-->power-->inverse FFT)

Autocorrelation function (FFT-->power-->inverse FFT)

The autocorrelation function is computed by evaluating the FFT of an image, multiplying by its complex conjugate, and computing the inverse FFT of this spectrum.

Autocorrelation from which buffer (-1 for memory) ?

If positive this entry specifies the buffer containing the image for which the autocorrelation function is to be evaluated. The resolution of the buffer specified is reduced to 256x128 pixels and transferred to the buffer before the computation starts. If an entry of -1 is specified, then it is assumed that the necessary data is already in memory.

Autocorrelation in Both directions, Horizontal only or Vertical only ?

The answer to this question specifies whether the autocorrelation function is to be evaluated in the horizontal direction only (<H>), the vertical direction only (<V>), or both horizontal and vertical directions (<B>).
