Abstract

In this paper, a new method for identification of two-dimensional(2D) impulse response is presented. As is well known, identification of 2D impulse response is an important and necessary theme for image processing or signal processing. Here, the authors extend M-transform which has been proposed by some of the authors to 2D case where an image is used instead of signal, and M-array is used instead of M-sequence. Firstly, we show that 2D impulse response can be obtained by use of M-array. Next 2D M-transform is defined where any 2D image can be considered to be the output of 2D filter whose input is 2D M-array. Simulation results show the effectiveness of identification of 2D impulse response by either using M-array or by 2D M-transform.
