I started by converting the LSM from sum to integral form:
$$f(x_c) = \sum_i[S(x_i)-F(x_i,;a,b,...)]^2 to f(x_c) = \int( S(x) - F(x-x_c)^2 dx$$
Since we are not interested in the other parameters (like offset), I assumed that they are fitted correctly and thus ignored them, turning...
Hello,
Convolution is essentially superposition. Conceptually, a copy of the same mask/filter is essentially placed at every point in the signal (1D, 2D, ect.). Once all these convolution masks are in place, we just compute the sum and get the convolved signal. The integral formula for...
Hello,

Hello, I am trying to calculate the partial derivative of a convolution. This is the expression:

##x[n] = (\frac{1}{2})^{-2} u[n-4]##

Hello,

Convolving two signals, g and h, of lengths X and Y respectively, results in a signal with length X+Y-1. But through convolution theorem, g*h = F^{-1}{ F{g} F{h} }, where F and F^{-1} is the Fourier transform and its inverse, respectively. The Fourier transform is unitary, so the output signal...

Hi,

Convolution has the form
