Today we moved to the topic of image processing. We stated from the formula for 2D convolution (in discrete-space) expressing the output of a discrete-space LTI system in terms of the input image f[m,n] and the unit input response h[m,n]. We then proceed to demonstrate how to use the formula using an average filter and a 6x6 digital image. The issue of the boundary conditions was discussed.

We analyzed the frequency response of this average filter. More specifically we computed its discrete-space Fourier transform and looked at its plot. Using the separability of the filter greatly facilitated the computation of its Fourier transform.
