tf_phase_congruency — 2D edges op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

phase_congruency: a simplified monogenic phase-congruency feature map.

Multi-scale radial log-Gabor bandpass responses (even part) plus their Riesz

(monogenic odd) components are accumulated; phase congruency is

`|sum of the (even, odd1, odd2) energy vectors| / (sum of amplitudes)`.

Because both numerator and denominator scale linearly with image gain and the

log-Gabor filters carry no DC, the result is invariant to affine illumination

change. `a is a noise threshold (fraction of mean energy); b` scales the

base wavelength. Peaks at edges/lines where the phases align.
