Syntax

[V_coil_rep]=gaborCoil(varargin);

Description

This function generates a so-called Gabor coil, i.e. a spiral which is modulated similar to a Gabor filter.

Examples

Creating a single Gabor coil

V=[0 0 0; 1 0 0];
E=[1 2];

%Create a gabor coil
optionStruct.numSteps=150; %Number of points used to define the curve.
optionStruct.numTwist=4; %Number of twists (for an unmodulated coil)
optionStruct.coilAmplitude=[]; %The coil amplitude (set empty to based on curve or edge length instead)
optionStruct.coilAmplitudeFactor=1/5; %The factor used to set local coil amplitude as a function of edge length
optionStruct.f=3; % The Gaussian bell curve will be truncated at n*the standard deviation on both sides.
optionStruct.funcMethod=2; %For loop based (1) or vectorised (2).
V_gabor_coil=gaborCoil(V,E,optionStruct);

%Get pure Gaussian part for illustration
optionStruct.numSteps=150; %Number of points used to define the curve.
optionStruct.numTwist=0; %Number of twists (for an unmodulated coil)
optionStruct.coilAmplitude=[]; %The coil amplitude (set empty to based on curve or edge length instead)
optionStruct.coilAmplitudeFactor=1/5; %The factor used to set local coil amplitude as a function of edge length
optionStruct.f=3; % The Gaussian bell curve will be truncated at n*the standard deviation on both sides.
optionStruct.funcMethod=2; %For loop based (1) or vectorised (2).
V_gauss=gaborCoil(V,E,optionStruct);

%Get pure coil part for illustration
optionStruct.numSteps=150; %Number of points used to define the curve.
optionStruct.numTwist=4; %Number of twists (for an unmodulated coil)
optionStruct.coilAmplitude=[]; %The coil amplitude (set empty to based on curve or edge length instead)

Creating Gabor coil on all edges in mesh

Creating example patch data

[F,V]=geoSphere(1,1);
% [F,V]=stanford_bunny;

Get patch edges

E=patchEdges(F,1);

optionStruct.numSteps=150; %Number of points used to define the curve.
optionStruct.numTwist=5; %Number of twists (for an unmodulated coil)
optionStruct.coilAmplitude=[]; %The coil amplitude (set empty to based on curve or edge length instead)
optionStruct.coilAmplitudeFactor=1/10; %The factor used to set local coil amplitude as a function of edge length
optionStruct.f=3; % The Gaussian bell curve will be truncated at n*the standard deviation on both sides.
optionStruct.funcMethod=2; %For loop based (1) or vectorised (2).

[V_coil_rep]=gaborCoil(V,E,optionStruct);
