Multi-dimensional Fourier transforms in the helical coordinate system |
We employ two equivalent subscripting schemes for referring to an element of the two-dimensional image, . Firstly, with two subscripts, refers to the element that lies increments along the -axis, and increments along the -axis. Ranges of and are given by , and respectively. Helical coordinates suggest an alternative subscripting scheme: We can use a single subscript, , such that and the range of is given by . Moreover, if we impose helical boundary conditions, we can treat as a one-dimensional function of subscript .
