WIP: rework gabor filter
This commit introduces an lazy array interface for the Gabor filter, benchmark shows that it's 2-3x faster than the previous version. The documentation is heavly rewrote to explain this filter and all its parameters.

# ## Definition
18+
#
19+
# Mathematically, Gabor kernel is defined in frequency space:
20+
#
21+
# ```math
22+
# g(x, y) = \exp(-\frac{x'^2 + \gamma^2y'^2}{2\sigma^2})\exp(i(2\pi\frac{x'}{\lambda} + \psi))
23+
# ```
24+
# where ``i`` is imaginary unit `Complex(0, 1)`, and
25+
# ```math
26+
# x' = x\cos\theta + x\sin\theta \\
27+
# y' = -x\sin\theta + y\cos\theta
28+
# ```
29+
#
30+
31+
# First of all, Gabor kernel is defined in frequency space so it is a complex-valued matrix:
32+
33+
bandwidth, orientation, wavelength, phase_offset = 0.1, 0, 2, 0
34+
kern = Kernel.Gabor((10, 10); bandwidth, orientation, wavelength, phase_offset)
35+
36+
# !!! tip "Lazy array"
37+
# The `Gabor` type is a lazy array, which means when you build the Gabor kernel, you
38+
# actually don't need to allocate any memories.
39+
#
40+
# ```julia
41+
# using BenchmarkTools
42+
# @btime Kernel.Gabor((64, 64); σ=5, θ=0, λ=1); # 1.705 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes)
43+
# ```
44+
45+
# To explain the parameters of Gabor filter, let's introduce one small helper function to
46+
# display frequency kernels.
47+
## You can also try display the real part: `@. Gray(log(abs(real(kern)) + 1))`
48+
show_phase(kern) = @. Gray(log(abs(imag(kern)) + 1))
49+
show_mag(kern) = @. Gray(log(abs(real(kern)) + 1))
50+
show_abs(kern) = @. Gray(log(abs(kern) + 1))

81+
82+
# ### `bandwidth` (b)
83+
# The half-response spatial frequency bandwidth (b) of a Gabor filter is related to the
84+
# ratio σ / λ, where σ and λ are the standard deviation of the Gaussian factor of the Gabor
85+
# function and the preferred wavelength, respectively, as follows:
86+

# b = \log_2\frac{\frac{\sigma}{\lambda}\pi + \sqrt{\frac{\ln 2}{2}}}{\frac{\sigma}{\lambda}\pi - \sqrt{\frac{\ln 2}{2}}}

94+
95+
# ## Examples
96+
#
97+
98+
# To apply the filter, we need to use [the convolution
99+
# theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_theorem):
100+
#
101+
# ```math
102+
# \mathcal{F}(x \circledast k) = \mathcal{F}(x) \odot \mathcal{F}(k)
103+
# ```
104+
# where ``\circledast`` is convolution, ``\odot`` is pointwise-multiplication, and
105+
# ``\mathcal{F}`` is the fourier transformation.
106+
#
107+
# Because Gabor kernel is defined around center point (0, 0), we have to apply `fftshift`
108+
# first before we do pointwise-multiplication. Because `fftshift(fftshift(x)) == x`, this
109+
# can be applied to either `fftshift(fft(x))` or `fftshift(kern)`.

Gabor(kernel_size; kwargs...)

Generates the 2-D Gabor kernel in frequency space.
10+
11+
# Arguments
12+
13+
- `kernel_size::Dims{2}`: the Gabor kernel size. The axes at each dimension will be `-r:r`
14+
if the size is odd.
15+
- `kernel_axes::NTuple{2, <:AbstractUnitRange}`: the axes of the Gabor kernel.
16+
17+
# Keywords
18+
19+
## `wavelength::Real`(λ>=2)
20+
21+
This is the wavelength of the cosine factor of the Gabor filter kernel and herewith the
22+
preferred wavelength of this filter. Its value is specified in pixels.
23+
24+
The value `λ=2` should not be used in combination with phase offset `ψ=-π/2` or `ψ=π/2`
25+
because in these cases the Gabor function is sampled in its zero crossings.
26+
27+
In order to prevent the occurence of undesired effects at the image borders, the wavelength
28+
value should be smaller than one fifth of the input image size.
29+
30+
## `orientation::Real`(θ∈[0, 2pi]):
31+
32+
This parameter specifies the orientation of the normal to the parallel stripes of a Gabor
33+
function [3].
34+
35+
## `bandwidth::Real` (b>0)
36+
37+
The half-response spatial frequency bandwidth b (in octaves) of a Gabor filter is related to
38+
the ratio σ / λ, where σ and λ are the standard deviation of the Gaussian factor of the
39+
Gabor function and the preferred wavelength, respectively, as follows:
40+
41+
```math
42+
b = \\log_2\\frac{\\frac{\\sigma}{\\lambda}\\pi + \\sqrt{\\frac{\\ln 2}{2}}}{\\frac{\\sigma}{\\lambda}\\pi - \\sqrt{\\frac{\\ln 2}{2}}}
43+
```
44+
45+
## `aspect_ratio`(γ=0.5)
46+
47+
This parameter, called more precisely the spatial aspect ratio, specifies the ellipticity of
48+
the support of the Gabor function [3]. For `γ = 1`, the support is circular. For γ < 1 the
49+
support is elongated in orientation of the parallel stripes of the function.
50+
51+
## `phase_offset` (ψ∈[-π, π])
52+
53+
The values `0` and `π` correspond to center-symmetric 'center-on' and 'center-off'
54+
functions, respectively, while -π/2 and π/2 correspond to anti-symmetric functions. All
55+
other cases correspond to asymmetric functions.
56+
57+
# Examples
58+
59+
To apply gabor filter `g` on image `X`, one need to use convolution theorem, i.e., `conv(A,
60+
K) == ifft(fft(A) .* fft(K))`. Because this `Gabor` function generates Gabor kernel directly
61+
in frequency space, we don't need to apply `fft(K)` here:
62+
63+
```jldoctest
64+
julia> using ImageFiltering, FFTW, TestImages, ImageCore
65+
66+
julia> img = TestImages.shepp_logan(256);
67+
68+
julia> kern = Kernel.Gabor(size(img); wavelength=30, orientation=0, bandwidth=2, phase_offset=0, aspect_ratio=0.5);
69+
70+
julia> g_img = ifft(centered(fft(channelview(img))) .* fftshift(kern)); # apply convolution theorem
71+
72+
julia> @. Gray(abs(g_img));
73+
74+
```
75+
76+
See the [gabor filter demo](@ref demo_gabor_filter) for more examples.
77+
78+
# Extended help
79+
80+
Mathematically, gabor filter is defined in frequency space:
81+
82+
```math
83+
g(x, y) = \\exp(-\\frac{x'^2 + \\gamma^2y'^2}{2\\sigma^2})\\exp(i(2\\pi\\frac{x'}{\\lambda} + \\psi))
84+
```
85+
86+
where ``x' = x\\cos\\theta + y\\sin\\theta`` and ``y' = -x\\sin\\theta + y\\cos\\theta``.
