Spatial frequency describes the periodic distributions of light and dark in an image. High spatial frequencies correspond to features such as sharp edges and fine details, whereas low spatial frequencies correspond to features such as global shape.

What is spatial frequency Why is it important?
"Spatial frequency" refers to the number of pairs of bars imaged within a given distance on the retina. One-third of a millimeter is a convenient unit of retinal distance because an image this size is said to subtend one degree of visual angle on the retina.
Are humans most sensitive to low spatial frequencies?
In general, the human visual system is most sensitive to spatial frequencies in the range of 2–6 cycles per degree (cpd), and more contrast is needed for detection of lower and higher spatial frequencies.
What is meant by spatial frequency?
The spatial frequency is defined as line pairs per angular extent of the target, and the phase specifies the relative location of the target image to the detector array raster. From: Encyclopedia of Modern Optics, 2005.
What is spatial frequency in MRI?
As frequency refers to the (inverse of the) periodicity with which the sound sine wave repeats, the spatial frequency refers to the (inverse of the) periodicity with which the image intensity values change. Image features that change in intensity over short image distances correspond to high spatial frequencies.
