    Decomposing Images into Harmonic Components Using Fourier Transform

    I am beginer in image processing. Any signal whether it is 1D,2D or any multidimensional signal can be represented using combination of number of sine and cosine wavesforms (harmonics).Similerly any image can be termed as a function of sinusoidal signals.I want to see individual pattern for the...

    Why Does the Mirror Charge Method Double the Potential Energy?

    Hi everybody, The situation is the classic one: a point charge q+ in a distance d above a conductor plane grounded: The conductor is grounded so V = 0, for z = 0. Also, far away from the system (x2 + y2 + z2 >> d) V --> 0 The argument to replace it for a q- charge seems perfect to me. What I...

    Why do different types of lenses have different effects on image size and focus?

    So for BiConvex Lenses, increasing the lens radius (by making the lens fatter) brings the image and focus closer to the lens, thus making it smaller given constant object position.
