"""A class to manage moving the stage and following motion in the image
Constructor Arguments:
grab_image: a function that returns the image as a numpy array
get_position: a function that returns position as a numpy array
settle: a function that waits and/or discards images
method: string, currently "direct" (default) or "fft"
Additional keyword arguments are passed to the tracking method.
Tracking methods:
"direct": uses cross-correlation with the central half of the image.
There are currently no options for this method.
"fft" uses FFT-based cross-correlation, after a high pass filter.
Keyword arguments are accepted:
pad: boolean, default=True
Whether to zero-pad the FFT to remove ambiguity. If
false, the answer is only unique modulo one field of
view due to the periodic nature of FFTs. Setting this
option to False speeds up tracking by about 4x.
sigma: floating point, default=10
The standard deviation, in pixels, of a Gaussian filter
used to smooth the image, before subtracting the smooth
image from the original, in a low pass filter. NB the
standard deviation is given in pixels, but is applied
in the Fourier domain (with appropriate transformation).
The value of sigma does not affect computation speed.
We accept functions because that seems like the easiest way to be
compatible with many different cameras/stages. Subclass and override
``__init__`` if you want to use a particular object instead.
# Subclassing notes
If you change the tracking method, you should override:
* track_image
* generate_template
* max_displacement
* min_displacement (optional - defaults to -max_displacment)
NB the ``image_position`` that this class returns may be the negative of
what you might expect. This is because normally we are looking for

"""
Utility functions to track motion of a microscope using FFT-based correlation.
Cross-correlation is a reasonable way to determine where an object is in an
image. It can also be used to track 2D motion. The Fourier Shift Theorem
relies on the fact that a correlation (or convolution) becomes a multiplication
in the Fourier domain. This means that Fast Fourier Transforms are an
efficient way to implement cross-correlation of whole images. This module
contains a number of functions to simplify tracking the motion of a microscope
stage using FFTs.
