The Endocrine System Essentials. 1  The endocrine system is made up of a network of glands. 2  These glands secrete hormones to regulate many bodily functions, including growth and metabolism. 3  Endocrine diseases are common and usually occur when glands produce an incorrect amount of hormones.
The Fourier transform is called the frequency domain representation of the original signal. The term Fourier transform refers to both the frequency domain representation and the mathematical operation that associates the frequency domain representation to a function of time.
The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) The discrete cosine transform (DCT) helps separate the image into parts (or spectral sub-bands) of differing importance (with respect to the image's visual quality). The DCT is similar to the discrete Fourier transform: it transforms a signal or image from the spatial domain to the frequency domain (Fig 7.8). DCT Encoding.
