// One of the most common image processing operations performed in the Fourier
// Domain is the masking of the spectrum in order to eliminate a range of
// spatial frequencies from the input image. This operation is typically
// performed by taking the input image, computing its Fourier transform using
// a FFT filter, masking the resulting image in the Fourier domain with a
// mask, and finally taking the result of the masking and computing its
// inverse Fourier transform.
//
// This typical processing is what it is illustrated in the example below.

// We start by including the headers of the FFT filters and the Mask image
// filter. Note that we use two different types of FFT filters here. The first
// one expects as input an image of real pixel type (real in the sense of
// complex numbers) and produces as output a complex image. The second FFT
// filter expects as in put a complex image and produces a real image as
// output.
