%pseudo_matched_filter
%Implements root filtering technique to increase SNR of an image
%usage:
%y = pseudo_matched_filter(x,alpha)
%y -  [OUT] enhanced image
%x - [IN] input image
%alpha - [IN] exponent to which the FFT mag is raised. having larger alpha
%        will increase smoothness, but will also introduce artefacts. 
%        optimal - 0.5 to 1
