Abstract

Two general schemes for 1-D space-variant processing are proposed. The direct output display scheme gives the space-variant system output along a line in the processor’s output plane. The output spectrum display scheme directly computes the space-variant system’s output spectrum. Both of these schemes utilize a 1-D input and a line spread function mask. Example applications and experimental results are also presented.
