Abstract

The interconversion between spatial and frequency domains using Fourier and other transforms is of critical importance in image processing and, for some imaging methods, the construction of images from raw scan data. A significant feature of the transforms is that we can convert back and forth between spatial and frequency domains without loss of information or introduction of noise.
