Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for the light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

Over at Quanta Magazine [Shalma Wegsman] asks What Is the Fourier Transform? [Shalma] begins by telling you a little about Joseph Fourier, the French mathematician with an interest in heat propagation ...

The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) is rightfully regarded as the most important numerical algorithm of our lifetime. Whether it's used to monitor signals coming from the depths of the earth or search ...

This article presents an aircraft jet engine sensor fault diagnostics and prediction implementation using a bank of Kalman filters and a Fast Fourier Transform Predictive analytics and fault ...

Typical spectrometers use prisms or diffraction gratings to spread light over a viewing window or digital sensor as a function of frequency. While both prisms and gratings work very well, there are a ...

In January, four MIT researchers showed off a replacement for one of the most important algorithms in computer science. Dina Katabi, Haitham Hassanieh, Piotr Indyk, and Eric Price have created a ...
