Maurus, a real signal cannot be uniquely represented by 1 quarter of the 2D
discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients. I will use the following
non-symmetric 4 by 4 array:
img={{1,2,1,0},{1,1,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0}};
MatrixForm[Partition[InverseFourier[img],{2,2}]]
(* I use InverseFourier as my definition of the DFT, as is common in
engineering, signal processing *)
The coefficients have complex conjugate symmetry - they are all related, not
random.
For a short explanation on the ordering of the coefficients in 1D (think of
a single row or column of your 2D transform) see MathGroup archives from
approx 2 weeks ago.
Also take a look at my notebooks on Fourier series and transform in
Wolfram's courseware catalog http://library.wolfram.com/courseware/. I will
be adding a comprehensive set of notebooks on digital image processing to
the courseware catalog in the next couple of month - they may be helpful, if
you can wait that long.
Hope this helps,
Mariusz
