DESCRIPTION

       i.ifft is an image processing program based on the algorithm given by Frigo et al. (1998),
       that  converts real and imaginary frequency space images (produced by i.fft) into a normal
       image.

NOTES

       The current mask is respected when reading the real and imaginary component files;   thus,
       creating a mask is a primary step for selecting the portion of the frequency space data to
       be included in the inverse transform.  The module wxGUI vector digitizer can  be  used  to
       create  masks  while viewing the real or imaginary component image. Alternatively r.circle
       can be used to generate  high-,  low-  and  donut  filters  specifying  the  DC  point  as
       circle/ring center. When i.ifft is executed, it (automatically) uses the same GRASS region
       definition setting that was used during the original transformation done with i.fft.
