Abstract
For our purposes an image is a two dimensional sequence of sample values, x[n 1,n 2], 0 ≤ n 1 < N 1, 0 ≤ n 2 < N 2, having finite extents, N 1 and N 2, in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively. The term “pixel,” where used here, is to be understood as synonymous with an image sample. The first coordinate, n 1 is understood as the row index, while the second coordinate, n 2, is understood as the column index of the sample or pixel. This is illustrated in Figure 1.1.
