I am trying to convert an image from cartesian to polar so that I can unravel the image, but I am getting a runtime error. If you are curious how this looks visually, see this example.
Code:
import scipy
import scipy.ndimage
import numpy as np
from math import *
import cv2
def logpolar(input):
# This takes a numpy array and returns it in Log-Polar coordinates.
coordinates = np.mgrid[0:max(input.shape[:])*2,0:360] # We create a cartesian array which will be used to compute log-polar coordinates.
log_r = 10**(coordinates[0,:]/(input.shape[0]*2.)*log10(input.shape[1])) # This contains a normalized logarithmic gradient
angle = 2.*pi*(coordinates[1,:]/360.) # This is a linear gradient going from 0 to 2*Pi
# Using scipy's map_coordinates(), we map the input array on the log-polar coordinate. Do not forget to center the coordinates!
lpinput = scipy.ndimage.interpolation.map_coordinates(input,(log_r*np.cos(angle)+input.shape[0]/2.,log_r*np.sin(angle)+input.shape[1]/2.),order=3,mode='constant')
# Returning log-normal...
return lpinput
# Load image
image = cv2.imread("test.jpg")
result = logpolar(image)
