Mastering the Discrete Fourier Transform in One, Two or Several Dimensions:
Pitfalls and Artifacts
by
Isaac Amidror


Welcome to the Internet site of the DFT book by Isaac Amidror, a new companion to the two previous volumes by the same author which dealt with the theory of the moiré phenomenon.

The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is an extremely useful tool that finds application in many different disciplines. However, its use requires caution due to various pitfalls and artifacts that await the unaware users and risk to mislead them in the interpretation of the results. The aim of this book is to explain the DFT and its various artifacts and pitfalls, and to show how to avoid these artifacts (whenever possible), or at least how to recognize them in order to avoid misinterpretations. This concentrated treatment of the DFT artifacts and pitfalls in a single volume is, indeed, new, and it makes this book a valuable source of information for the widest possible range of DFT users. Special attention is given to the one and two dimensional cases due to their particular importance, but the discussion covers the general multidimensional case, too. DFT Book Cover

The present book is intended for scientists, engineers, students and any readers who wish to widen their knowledge of the DFT and its practical use. This book will also be very useful for “naive” users from various scientific or technical disciplines who have to use the DFT for their respective applications. The prerequisite mathematical background is limited to an elementary familiarity with calculus and with the continuous and discrete Fourier theory.
