Abstract
The importance of nonorthogonal basis sets for representing images is discussed. To find such a representation necessitates diagonalizing overlap matrices that contain billions of elements, even for modest image sizes (256 × 256 pixels). By standard techniques this is completely intractable. An alternative method based on the fast Fourier transform is presented. Not only is it much faster, but it fits well within existing image-processing software.
