  <p>In the given image, what does the outlined white sort of lines mean?</p>

  Have a look at this [explanation](https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/rbf/HIPR2/fourier.htm) of the two dimensional Fourier Transform applied to an image.
  
  The way I read it is that it somewhat mirrors the diagonal structure of the 'X', as that is where most of the 'image energy' is, so that are the lines you highlighted. Because the image is fairly uniform in colour, most of the components are low-frequency (ie close to the centre of the 2DFT image).
