tb_iqft2 — 2D typed op

Data kinds: qimageqimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_iqft2", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*No figure: this op takes qimage as input. A Studio program starting from an image cannot reach that type — see the runnable examples below for how it is used.*

Usage

Inverse quaternion Fourier transform of a centred spectrum. → (H, W, 4).

The exact inverse of :func:qft2 for the same side and the same mu:

measured round-trip error `2.22e-15` for both sides on a standard-normal

`(32, 32, 4) field. The kernel is exp(+mu * 2*pi*(...))` applied on the

side named, and the `1/(H*W)` normalisation is carried here, as in

`numpy.fft.ifft2`.

Using the wrong side does not raise. `iqft2(qft2(q, "left"), "right")`

returns a finite, plausible quaternion image that is simply not `q`:

measured `max|err| = 1.113` on a random colour image whose own range is

`0.9994 (another seed: 1.063 against 1.0), and — the dangerous case — only 0.054` against a range of

`1.076` on a grey-axis-dominated one, which is small enough to survive a

look at the picture. The `side` argument is required at both ends for

exactly this reason, and the two calls must agree: nothing in the data

records which transform produced it, so nothing downstream can catch the

mismatch for you.

Raises `ValueError: *spectrum* is not a valid (H, W, 4)` field;

*side* is not `'left' / 'right'`; *mu* is not a finite non-zero

3-vector.

Typed bridge of the quat op `iqft2 into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b` are unused.
