Gaussian Verdict

  • Wider in spatial domain corresponds to narrower in the frequency domain
  • We are forced to live with either low-frequency attenuation of high-frequency leakage
  • Live with blur
  • Infinite extent
  • CRT resolution
  • Only reconstruction kernel that is both linearly separable and radially symmetric
For a CRT images we basically have to live with the reconstruction filters that we are given. However, when we write an magnification program we are in control of the magnification.
