represent an image in linear algebra

268 Views Asked by At

Can we represent a grayscale image as a matrix of values, and then apply all our linear algebra techniques to that? Like finding the column space and null space, reason about the matrix structure. Actually I am a bit confused. Normally (in algebra) images are represented as two-variable functions of intensities. But in linear algebra, can that two dimensional thing explode to a multi-dimensional representation of vectors?
