Procedures for the SFF method.
Notes: (1) An averaged and cropped image generated by the averaging process. (2) Frequency domain image obtained by FFT. (3) A filtered image. An appropriate frequency domain band-pass filter was applied and converted to spatial domain image by iFFT. (4) Results of cone photoreceptor identification. Peak points on a filtered image were taken to be cone photoreceptor cells. Red points indicate detected peak points as individual cells. The magnification is approximately 60 × 50 µm. The square image area is not equivalent to the square area on the retina because of the correction for the distortion of the raw digital image.
