Inverse convolution of image

Question

I have source and result image. I know, that some convolution matrix has been used on source to get result. Can this convolution matrix be computed ? Or at least not exact o

Answer 1

I have rewritten @Ilmari Karonen answer to C/C++ using fftw3 for someone, who might find it handy:

Circular shift function

template
void circshift(ty *out, const ty *in, int xdim, int ydim, int xshift, int yshift)
{
  for (int i =0; i < xdim; i++) 
  {
    int ii = (i + xshift) % xdim;
    for (int j = 0; j < ydim; j++) 
    {
      int jj = (j + yshift) % ydim;
      out[ii * ydim + jj] = in[i * ydim + j];
    }
  }
}

Now main code

int width = 256;
int height = 256;

int index = 0;

MyStringAnsi imageName1 = "C://ka4ag.png";    
MyStringAnsi imageName2 = "C://KyPu2.png";

double * in1 = new double[width * height];
fftw_complex * out1 = new fftw_complex[width * height]; 

double * in2 = new double[width * height];
fftw_complex * out2 = new fftw_complex[width * height]; 

MyUtils::MyImage * im1 = MyUtils::MyImage::Load(imageName1, MyUtils::MyImage::PNG);
MyUtils::MyImage * im2 = MyUtils::MyImage::Load(imageName2, MyUtils::MyImage::PNG);

for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++)
{
    in1[i] = ((im1->Get(i).r / (255.0 * 0.5)) - 1.0);
    in2[i] = ((im2->Get(i).r / (255.0 * 0.5)) - 1.0);
}


fftw_plan dft_plan1 = fftw_plan_dft_r2c_2d(width, height, in1, out1, FFTW_ESTIMATE);    
fftw_execute(dft_plan1);
fftw_destroy_plan(dft_plan1);

fftw_plan dft_plan2 = fftw_plan_dft_r2c_2d(width, height, in2, out2, FFTW_ESTIMATE);    
fftw_execute(dft_plan2);
fftw_destroy_plan(dft_plan2);

fftw_complex * kernel = new fftw_complex[width * height];   

for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++)
{
    std::complex c1(out1[i][0], out1[i][1]);
    std::complex c2(out2[i][0], out2[i][1]);

    std::complex div = c2 / c1;

    kernel[i][0] = div.real();
    kernel[i][1] = div.imag();
}

double * kernelOut = new double[width * height];

fftw_plan dft_planOut = fftw_plan_dft_c2r_2d(width, height, kernel, kernelOut, FFTW_ESTIMATE);
fftw_execute(dft_planOut);
fftw_destroy_plan(dft_planOut);

double * kernelShift = new double[width * height];

circshift(kernelShift, kernelOut, width, height, (width/2), (height/2));

double maxKernel = kernelShift[0];
for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++)
{
    if (maxKernel < kernelShift[i]) maxKernel = kernelShift[i]; 
}

for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++)
{
    kernelShift[i] /= maxKernel; 
}

uint8 * res = new uint8[width * height];
for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++)
{                   
   res[i] = static_cast((kernelShift[i]+ 1.0) * (255.0 * 0.5));
}

//now in res is similar result as in @Ilmari Karonen, but shifted by +128

Code has no memory management, so you must clean your memory !
