Required Reading:
- Fundamentals of Computer Graphics (4e), Chapter 6. We didn't discuss the materials in 6.1.2, 6.1.4, 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 6.4; skip or skim them if you want.
Suggested Reading:
- Read Fundamentals of Computer Graphics (4e), Chapter 5 if you need to refresh basic linear algebra. Study 5.4 carefully if you haven't seen that material before.

Required Reading:
- Chapter 16 of Foundations of Computer Vision is also a good, gentle introduction to Fourier series/transform.
- Data-Driven Science and Engineering: Machine Learning, Dynamical Systems, and Control, Chapter 2.1, 2.2. Focus on getting the idea; skip the math proofs if you want; pay attention to how they see Fourier Transform from a vector-space perspective. Skim 2.6 if you want.
Suggested Reading:
- Play with the sample programs I used in the class today (reconstruct.py, filter.py, visterms.py). Run them and understand how they work.

Required Reading:
- Chapter 15 and Chapter 17 of Foundations of Computer Vision discuss convolution and the properties of a few common filters.
- Chapter 20 and Chapter 21 of Foundations of Computer Vision discusses sampling, reconstruction, and aliasing.

Suggested Reading:
- Eye, Brain, and Vision, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 (by David H. Hubel; eye, retina, and V1 wonderfully illustrated and elegantly explained)
- Exploring the Visual Brain (a short YouTube video by Torsen Wiesel talking about their discovery of cortical architecture with a touching tribute to Hubel)
