Why is it called "time space" as in fourier transform

152 Views Asked by At

When talking about Fourier transform for image processing, we often call the original image formed by pixels in the "time space".

I find it is difficult to understand it. why is it called the time space, where is time coming from?

I can understand if it is called screen space and image space. but why is it time space?

The original formulation of Fourier series was to take a signal, which is to say a function of amplitude values over time, and represent it as a combination of sinusoids, which is to say a function of amplitude values over a range of frequencies. So you would consider the original signal to be $f(t)$, defined over the domain of time $t$, and the Fourier transform $\mathcal{F(f)} = F(T)$, defined over the domain of frequency $T$.

Obviously in the case of image processing the analogy isn't great, since you now have a 2-dimensional "time domain", but it seems like the language has stuck despite that.
