Facilitation of pattern recognition in machine-vision systems or Thematic Mapper imagery can be used to illustrate physical principles through comparative feature extraction techniques in optical and digital image processing. This is demonstrated utilizing coherent image processing with Fourier transforms incorporating filtering techniques such as convolution and inverse Fourier transform. A parallel digital image processing sequence is applied to the same image. Transparencies of the final product image are optically processed with cross-correlation for comparison of results where applicable
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
