Description: The Log Polar Transform is an image transformation technique that converts the Cartesian coordinates of an image into logarithmic polar coordinates. This process involves applying a logarithmic function to the pixel intensities and relocating them in a polar coordinate system, which allows for highlighting specific features of the image, such as edges and details in high-contrast areas. The logarithmic transformation is particularly useful for enhancing the visualization of images that contain a wide range of intensities, as it compresses high values and expands low ones, making it easier to perceive details that might otherwise be lost. By using polar coordinates, information can be represented in a way that focuses on the center of the image, which is advantageous in applications where the main focus is on the center, such as in images of circular or radial objects. This technique is fundamental in image processing, as it allows for better visual interpretation and data analysis, being a valuable tool in fields such as medicine, astronomy, and computer vision.
