DCT2

Purpose:

Calculates the 2D Discrete Cosine Transform.

Syntax:

DCT2(array, nr, nc)

array

-

An input array.

nr

-

Optional. An integer, the number of rows. Defaults to row length of input array.

nc

-

Optional. An integer, the number of columns. Defaults to column length of input array.

Returns:

An array.

Example:

W1: ravel(gcos(100, 1/100, 3), 10)

W2: dct2(W1)

W3: idct2(W2)

 

returns the original array (within roundoff error).

Remarks:

DCT2 is often used in conjunction with IDCT2 to perform image compression.
