I discovered the other day that I'd coded a bug into my regression test
for the FFT classes -- it was getting 'false positive' results. The
corrected test code exposed that the VNL-based FFT works for the
square/cubic test case -- images of dimension (4,4,4) but fails for
images of dimension (3,5,4).
Further, I discovered that VNL's FFT routines for non square/cubic
images return substantially different answers than FFTW.
Which leads me to believe that VNL's fft isn't probably a reliable
default implementation to include as part of ITK.
So what I'm wondering is this: does anyone have knowledge of a free FFT
implementation that is licensing compatible with ITK?
The second question is has anyone who understands FFT implementation
better than I looked at what VNL is doing?
