Table 2.3: Fourier transform properties.
The Fourier transform can be easily extended to multidimensional signals and sys-
tems. For 2-D images f (x,y) that are integrable, the following Fourier transform pair
exists:
F(u,v) : f f f (x,y)e-i2n(ta+vY' dxdy (2.1.21)
f(x,y) = f f V(u,v)e+i2(m+Y) dudv (2.1.22)
where u and v are frequency vaxiables. Extensions to higher dimensions are possible by
simply adding exponent terms to the complex exponential, and integrating over the addi-
tional space and frequency vaxiables.
2.1.5.3. Discrete Fourier Transforms
The discussion thus far has focused on continuous signals. In practice, we deal with
discrete images that are both limited i_n._extent _and sampl a_[is9rete points. The results

the discrete Fourier tradofln pair:

for 0 $ u,x < N -1, where N is the number of input samples. The 11N factor that appears
in front of the forward transform serves to normalize the spectrum with respect to the
length of the input. There is no strict rule which requires the normalization to be applied
to F(u). In some sources, the lIN factor appears in front of the inverse transform
instead. For reasons of symmetry, other common formulations have the forward and
