I would suggest that you might wish to use a low pass filter that is a little "softer" so that you avoid any ringing. In any event, here is a simple way to threshold as you describe: data = Table[i j, {i, -5, 5}, {j, -5, 5}]; data // MatrixForm thresh=0; dataThresh = Map[(If[(# < thresh), thresh, #] &), data, {2}]; dataThresh // MatrixForm Kevin On 6/6/2012 4:48 AM, Dave Martin wrote: > I'm trying to accomplish what should be a relatively simple frequency > domain filtering of a noisy input image with with some weak, periodic > signals (a low dose transmission electron microscope image of some > organic crystals).
