Description
The Fourier transform is one of the most important operations in signal processing and modern technology, and therefore in modern human civilization. But how does it work, and why does it work
What you will learn in this course:
You will learn the theoretical and computational bases of the Fourier transform, with a strong focus on how the Fourier transform is used in modern applications in signal processing, data analysis, and image filtering. The course covers not only the basics, but also advanced topics including effects of non-stationarities, spectral resolution, normalization, filtering. All videos come with MATLAB and Python code for you to learn from and adapt!
This course is focused on implementations of the Fourier transform on computers, and applications in digital signal processing (1D) and image processing (2D). I don’t go into detail about setting up and solving integration problems to obtain analytical solutions. Thus, this course is more on the computer science/data science/eeering side of things, rather than on the pure mathematics/differential equations/infinite series side.
This course is for you if you are an aspiring or established:
Data scientist
