# 1. An Overview of Image Spectral Decomposition
Image spectral decomposition is a pivotal technique in image processing that transforms images from the spatial domain to the frequency domain, thereby revealing the frequency characteristics and structural information of images. This chapter will introduce the basic concepts of image spectrum, the significance of spectral decomposition, and the application of Fourier Transform in image processing. We will then delve into these topics one by one.
# 2. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is a form of Fourier Transform suitable for finite-length discrete signals. Through DFT, we can convert signals from the time domain to the frequency domain and perform spectral analysis, filtering, and other processing.
### 2.1 Definition and Solution Process of DFT
The definition of DFT is as follows:
X[k] = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n] \cdot e^{-j2\pi kn/N}
Where $x[n]$ is the input signal, $X[k]$ is its DFT result, $N$ represents the length of the signal, $k$ is the frequency index, and $j$ is the imaginary unit.
The calculation process of DFT involves N complex multiplication and addition operations, with a computational complexity of $O(N^2)$, which is inefficient for processing longer signals.
### 2.2 Principles and Advantages of the FFT Algorithm
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an algorithm that efficiently computes the DFT. By employing divide-and-conquer and iterative methods, FFT reduces the computational complexity of DFT to $O(N\log N)$, significantly improving the speed of spectral analysis.
### 2.3 Applications of FFT in Image Processing
In the realm of image processing, FFT is widely applied in frequency domain filtering, image compression, feature extraction, and more. By quickly calculating the spectrum of an image, efficient frequency domain analysis and processing can be conducted, opening up more possibilities for image processing algorithms.

### 3.1 Concept and Significance of Power Spectral Density
In image processing, power spectral density is an essential means to analyze the frequency characteristics of image signals as they change over time or space. Power spectral density represents the energy distribution of image signals across different frequencies, aiding in the understanding of an image's structure and features.
### 3.2 Relationship Between Autocorrelation Function and Power Spectral Density
The power spectral density of an image is closely related to its autocorrelation function. The autocorrelation function describes the relationship between a signal and its delayed versions at different time points or spatial locations, while the power spectral density is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function. By calculating the autocorrelation function, we can obtain information about the image's power spectral density.
### 3.3 Methods for Calculating Image Power Spectral Density
Calculating the power spectral density of an image typically involves a series of steps: performing a Fourier transform on the image, obtaining the power spectrum by taking the squared magnitude, and conducting appropriate normalization. The choice of various methods for calculating image power spectral density depends on the practical application scenario and computational efficiency requirements.
