import images and compute FFTs

plot histograms of fourier amplitudes

plot polar histograms of fourier amplitudes and phases

reconstruct images via fourier synthesis, swapping their genuine amplitudes/phases for random numbers drawn from a uniform distribution

reconstruct images via fourier synthesis, swapping their genuine amplitudes/phases for the median value of the random distributions generated in the previous cell

main takeaway: error induced by incorrect phases is much more grave than error induced by incorrect amplitudes
