Lesson 5 - Discrete Fourier Transform

This lesson demonstrates discrete fourier transforms using VisiQuest:

A Pulse Example | 2D DFT from 1D DFT | Properties | Simple Images | Pulse Width and Zero-Crossings | Sample and Aliasing | Filtering in the Frequency Domain | Filtering of Coherent Noise

Each section takes you through an incremental portion of the lesson while building on skills learned in previous lessons and sections.
