scipy.fft.fft2

scipy.fft.fft2(x, s=None, axes=(-2, -1), norm=None, overwrite_x=False, workers=None)

Compute the 2-dimensional discrete Fourier Transform

This function computes the n-dimensional discrete Fourier Transform over any axes in an M-dimensional array by means of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). By default, the transform is computed over the last two axes of the input array, i.e., a 2-dimensional FFT.

Parameters

xarray_like

Input array, can be complex

ssequence of ints, optional

Shape (length of each transformed axis) of the output (s[0] refers to axis 0, s[1] to axis 1, etc.). This corresponds to n for fft(x, n). Along each axis, if the given shape is smaller than that of the input, the input is cropped. If it is larger, the input is padded with zeros. if s is not given, the shape of the input along the axes specified by axes is used.

axessequence of ints, optional

Axes over which to compute the FFT. If not given, the last two axes are used.

norm{None, “ortho”}, optional

Normalization mode (see fft). Default is None.

overwrite_xbool, optional

If True, the contents of x can be destroyed; the default is False. See fft for more details.

workersint, optional

Maximum number of workers to use for parallel computation. If negative, the value wraps around from os.cpu_count(). See fft for more details.

Returns

outcomplex ndarray

The truncated or zero-padded input, transformed along the axes indicated by axes, or the last two axes if axes is not given.

Raises

ValueError

If s and axes have different length, or axes not given and len(s) != 2.

IndexError

If an element of axes is larger than than the number of axes of x.

See also

ifft2

The inverse two-dimensional FFT.

fft

The one-dimensional FFT.

fftn

The n-dimensional FFT.

fftshift

Shifts zero-frequency terms to the center of the array. For two-dimensional input, swaps first and third quadrants, and second and fourth quadrants.

Notes

fft2 is just fftn with a different default for axes.

The output, analogously to fft, contains the term for zero frequency in the low-order corner of the transformed axes, the positive frequency terms in the first half of these axes, the term for the Nyquist frequency in the middle of the axes and the negative frequency terms in the second half of the axes, in order of decreasingly negative frequency.

See fftn for details and a plotting example, and fft for definitions and conventions used.
