Transforms an image to polar or log-polar space.
| Name | Type | Description | |

inImage | Image | Input image |

inCenter | Point2D | Center of the coordinate system in input image |

outImage | Image | Output image |
Description
It uses the following transformation:
\[ dst(\rho, \phi) = src(x,y), \]where
\[ \rho = m \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} , \phi = \arctan(\frac{y}{x}), \]for linear-polar space, and
\[ \rho = k \log{\sqrt{x^2+y^2} }, \phi = \arctan(\frac{y}{x}), \]for log-polar space, which emulates the human "foveal vision".
Parameters \(m\) and \(k\) are chosen so that entire source image could fit into output image.
Transformation does not change image dimensions.
