I receive so many mail messages regarding this site that I have difficulty responding to them all. I will endeavor to respond to mail that directly concerns the use of individual functions. However, please note I do not have the time to provide an on-line vision problem solving service! Please report any bugs and/or suggest enhancements to Cheers, |
Phase congruency is an illumination and contrast invariant measure of feature significance. Unlike gradient based feature detectors, which can only detect step features, phase congruency correctly detects features at all kind of phase angle, and not just step features having a phase angle of 0 or 180 degrees.

Note that the reconstruction is only valid up to a scale factor (which can be corrected for). However the reconstruction process is very robust to noise and to missing data values. Reconstructions (up to positive/negative shape ambiguity) are possible where there is an ambiguity of pi in tilt values. Low quality reconstructions are also possible with just slant, or just tilt data alone. However, if you have full gradient information you are better off with the Frankot Chellappa algorithm below.
