FOURIER TRANSFORMS AND ITS

APPLICATION

GROUP 2
INTRODUCTION
 The Fourier Transform is an important image processing tool which is used to
decompose an image into its sine and cosine components. The Fourier
Transform is used in a wide range of applications, such as image analysis,
image filtering, image reconstruction and image compression.
WHY FOURIER SERIES IS SO
IMPORTANT?
 Fourier series is just a means to represent a periodic signal as an

infinite sum of sine wave components. A periodic signal is just a signal

that repeats its pattern at some period. The primary reason that we

use Fourier series is that we can better analyze a signal in another

domain rather in the original domain.

 Fourier analysis allows one to evaluate the amplitudes, phases, and

frequencies of data using the Fourier transform. More powerful

analysis can be done on the Fourier transformed data using the

remaining (i.e., time-independent) variation from other variables.

 USES OF FOURIER SERIES

The Fourier transform can be used

to interpolate functions and to
smooth signals. For example, in the
processing of pixelated images, the
high spatial frequency edges of
pixels can easily be removed with
the aid of a two-dimensional Fourier
transform.
 APPLICATIONS OF FOURIER
TRANSFORM

 Fourier transform is a mathematical tool that breaks a function, a signal

or a waveform into an another representation which is characterize by

sin and cosines.

 In the theory of communication a signal is generally a voltage, and

Fourier transform is essential mathematical tool which provides us an

inside view of signal and its different domain, how it behaves when it

passes through various communication channels, filters, and amplifiers

and it also help in analysis various problems.

TIME SIGNAL;

• The Fourier transform is commonly used

to convert a signal in the time spectrum to
a frequency spectrum. Examples of time
spectra are sound waves, electricity,
mechanical vibrations etc. The figure
below shows 0,25 seconds of Kendrick’s
tune. As can clearly be seen it looks like a
wave with different frequencies. Actually
it looks like multiple waves.
