When conv2d is on same mode, the image needs no padding, because the result is the same size as the image.

When conv2d is on full mode, the result is (image_width + kernel_width -1) * (image_height + kernel_height -1).

Then how do I pad the image?

I created a MATLAB function which is basically conv2() applied in Frequency Domain:

function [ mO ] = ImageConvFrequencyDomain( mI, mH, convShape )
% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %
% [ mO ] = ImageConvFrequencyDomain( mI, mH, convShape )
% Applies Image Convolution in the Frequency Domain.
% Input:
%   - mI                -   Input Image.
%                           Structure: Matrix.
%                           Type: 'Single' / 'Double' (Single Channel).
%                           Range: (-inf, inf).
%   - mH                -   Filtering Kernel.
%                           Structure: Matrix.
%                           Type: 'Single' / 'Double'.
%                           Range: (-inf, inf).
%   - convShape         -   Convolution Shape.
%                           Sets the convolution shape.
%                           Structure: Scalar.
%                           Type: 'Single' / 'Double'.
%                           Range: {1, 2, 3}.
% Output:
%   - mI                -   Output Image.
%                           Structure: Matrix (Single Channel).
%                           Type: 'Single' / 'Double'.
%                           Range: (-inf, inf).

CONV_SHAPE_FULL     = 1;
CONV_SHAPE_SAME     = 2;
CONV_SHAPE_VALID    = 3;

numRows     = size(mI, 1);
numCols     = size(mI, 2);

numRowsKernel = size(mH, 1);
numColsKernel = size(mH, 2);

switch(convShape)
    case(CONV_SHAPE_FULL)
        numRowsFft  = numRows + numRowsKernel - 1;
        numColsFft  = numCols + numColsKernel - 1;
        firstRowIdx = 1;
        firstColIdx = 1;
        lastRowIdx  = numRowsFft;
        lastColdIdx = numColsFft;
    case(CONV_SHAPE_SAME)
        numRowsFft  = numRows + numRowsKernel;
        numColsFft  = numCols + numColsKernel;
        firstRowIdx = ceil((numRowsKernel + 1) / 2);
        firstColIdx = ceil((numColsKernel + 1) / 2);
        lastRowIdx  = firstRowIdx + numRows - 1;
        lastColdIdx = firstColIdx + numCols - 1;
    case(CONV_SHAPE_VALID)
        numRowsFft = numRows;
        numColsFft = numCols;
        firstRowIdx = numRowsKernel;
        firstColIdx = numColsKernel;
        % The Kernel when transformed is shifted (Namely its (0, 0) is top
        % left not middle).
        lastRowIdx  = numRowsFft;
        lastColdIdx = numColsFft;
end

mO = ifft2(fft2(mI, numRowsFft, numColsFft) .* fft2(mH, numRowsFft, numColsFft), 'symmetric');
mO = mO(firstRowIdx:lastRowIdx, firstColIdx:lastColdIdx);


end


It is fully compatible and validated.

  • $\begingroup$ I don't get how you're matching conv2 without centering mH, does MATLAB do something different with fft2 or ifft2? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 17, 2023 at 11:03

  • $\begingroup$ Nevermind, you compensate by changing unpad indices. Looks good. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 17, 2023 at 11:29
  • $\begingroup$ @OverLordGoldDragon, If I got you write, then indeed, the fftshift() you use in your methods is not needed. For performance it is better not to use it. Just need to understand the axis system of the transformation. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If mH isn't reused and we're not aiming for circular convolution, yes. But it's more confusing to debug and doesn't enjoy offset-invariance in strided context. I'm so used to it that I forgot this alt case, I should mention it in my answer. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 17, 2023 at 11:44
