discrete fourier transformer uses digital signals whereas the fast fourier transform uses both analog and digital.
.....
A fast Fourier transform is an efficient algorithm for working out the discrete Fourier transform - which itself is a Fourier transform on 'discrete' data, such as might be held on a computer. Contrast this to a 'continuous Fourier transform' on, say, a curve. One would need an infinite amount of data points to truly represent a curve, something that cannot be done with a computer.Check out: The Scientist And Engineer's Guide To Digital Signal Processing. It is a free, downloadable book that deals, inter alia, with Fourier transforms; chapters 8-12are germane to your question. This is a highly practical, roll-yer-sleeves-up book for, as the title says, scientists and engineers, but Smith describes the underlying theory well. The sample code supplied with the book is in BASIC and FORTRAN, of all things; the author does this for didactic purposes to make the examples easy to understand rather than efficient.
The fundamental components of digital image processing are computer-based algorithms. Digital image processing allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal distortion during processing.
there are two types of image processing. 1.analog 2.digital.
