SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of the 2/3 padding rule for dealiasing in 2D Fourier transforms. The user inquires about setting the highest 1/3 frequency components to zero after performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on a 7x7 real dataset in MATLAB. It is clarified that instead of zeroing out these components, one should ignore the redundant half of the resulting spectrum. Additionally, zero padding can be applied in both dimensions, although a 7x7 dataset may be considered too small for effective frequency analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 2D Fourier Transform concepts
  • Familiarity with MATLAB for data analysis
  • Knowledge of the 2/3 padding rule in signal processing
  • Basic principles of dealiasing techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implementation of the 2/3 padding rule in MATLAB
  • Learn about the implications of FFT on real data and spectrum redundancy
  • Explore advanced techniques for zero padding in multidimensional data
  • Investigate the effects of dataset size on frequency analysis accuracy

Hi,

I would like to use the 2/3 padding rule for the dealiasing. In 1D, it's straightforward. For 2D, do I just have to set the highest 1/3 frequency components zero in both directions? For example, I ffted a 7*7 real data in Matlab, then I set the 4th and 5th columns and rows (corresponding to the highest 1/3 frequencies) to be zero. Is this ready for doing dealiasing? Thanks.

If you FFT real data, then half of your resulting spectrum is redundant and can be ignored. I wouldn't set it to zero. Just ignore it.
If you are using zero padding, then you can zero pad in both directions. 7*7 seems awfully small for frequency analysis, but I guess it can be done.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
