Question 5, August 2013, Problem 1

Problem 1 ,Problem 2

Solution 1:

a) Since

$ X(e^{j\mu},e^{j\nu}) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x(m,n)e^{-j(m\mu+n\nu)} $

and

$ p_0(e^{jw}) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x(m,n)e^{-jnw} $， 

we have:

p₀(e^j'w) = X(ejμ,ejw) | _{μ = 0}

b) Similarly to a), we have:

p₁(e^j'w) = X(ejw,e^jν) | _{ν = 0}

c)
$ \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} p_0(n) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x(m,n) = X(e^{j\mu}, e^{j\nu}) |_{\mu=0, \nu=0} $ which is the DC point of the image.

d) No, it can't provide sufficient information. From the expression in a) and b), we see that p₀(e^j'w)and <span class="texhtml" />p₁(ejw) are only slices of the DSFT. It lost the information when μ and ν are not zero. A simple example would be: Let
$ x(m,n) = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1 ~ 2 \\ 3 ~ 4\\ \end{array}} \right] $, so
$ p_0(n) =[4~6], p_1(m) = [3 ~7]^T $. With the above the information of the projection, the original form of the 2D signal cannot be determined. For example, $ x(m,n) = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2 ~ 1 \\ 2 ~ 5\\ \end{array}} \right] $ gives the same projection.

Solution 2:

a) From the question, 

$ P_0(e^{j\mu}) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}p_0(n)e^{-jn\mu} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}x(m,n) e^{-jn\mu}\cdot1 = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}x(m,n) e^{-jn\mu}e^{-jm\cdot0} = X(e^{j\mu},e^{j\cdot0}) $

Therefore, 

$ P_0(e^{j\mu}) = X(e^{j\mu},e^{j\nu})\vert_{\nu = 0} $

b) Similar to question a), 

$ P_1(e^{j\nu}) = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}p_1(m)e^{-jm\mu} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}x(m,n) e^{-jm\nu}\cdot1 = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}x(m,n) e^{-jn\cdot0}e^{-jm\nu} = X(e^{j\cdot0},e^{j\nu}) $

Therefore,

$ P_0(e^{j\mu}) = X(e^{j\mu},e^{j\nu})\vert_{\mu = 0} $

c)

$ \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty}p_0(n) = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{m = -\infty}^{\infty} x(m,n) =\sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{m = -\infty}^{\infty} x(m,n) e^{-jn\cdot0}e^{-jm\cdot0} = X(e^{-jn\cdot0},e^{-jm\cdot0}) = X(e^{j\mu},e^{j\nu})\vert_{\mu = 0, \nu = 0} $

d)No. P₀  only represents the μ axis on X(e^jμ,e^jν). P₁ only represents the ν axis on X(e^jμ,e^jν). It is not enough to represent X(e^jμ,e^jν).

For example, assume two different array x₁ and x₂.

$ x_1 = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 3 & 4 \\ 5 & 6 \end{array} \right ] $ and $ x_2 = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4 & 3 \\ 4 & 7 \end{array} \right ] $ have the same p₀ and p_1. 

Therefore, P₀ and P₁ will be the same for X₀ and X₁. We will not be able to recover x₀<span style="font-size: 11px;" /> and x₁<span style="font-size: 11px;" /> based on P₀ and P₁.

a) Calculate G(μ,ν) the CSFT of g(x,y).
b) Calculate S(e^jμ,e^jν) the DSFT of s(m,n).

2. Assume that we know (or can measure) the function
