It is now possible to calculate the Fourier transform of an image on your smartphone, thanks to a new app developed by two nanophotonics researchers in The Netherlands. “2D-Fourier” is available for ...

To make a direct comparison between Fourier and Zernike reconstructions of ocular wavefronts using a newly available analytical theory by which Fourier coefficients can be converted to Zernike ...

A key algorithm that quietly empowers and simplifies our electronics is the Fourier transform, which turns the graph of a signal varying in time into a graph that describes it in terms of its ...

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an implementation of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) using a divide-and-conquer approach. A DFT can transform any discrete signal, such as an image, to and ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, ...

Over at Quanta Magazine [Shalma Wegsman] asks What Is the Fourier Transform? [Shalma] begins by telling you a little about Joseph Fourier, the French mathematician with an interest in heat propagation ...
