Konvolúcióvá

Konvolúcióvá is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily in the fields of mathematics and digital signal processing. At its core, a convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions that produces a third function expressing how the shape of one is modified by the other. Imagine taking one function and "sliding" it across another, multiplying them at each position, and summing the results. This integral or summation defines the convolution.

In digital signal processing, convolution is crucial for understanding how a system's output relates to its input. If a signal is passed through a linear, time-invariant system, the output signal is the convolution of the input signal with the system's impulse response. The impulse response characterizes the system's behavior. This operation is fundamental in filtering, where a filter's impulse response is convolved with a signal to remove unwanted frequencies or enhance certain characteristics.

The concept also extends to image processing. A 2D convolution can be used to apply filters to images, such as blurring, sharpening, or edge detection. In this context, a small kernel (a matrix of numbers) is slid over the image, and at each position, the kernel's elements are multiplied by the corresponding image pixel values, and the sum forms the new pixel value. This process is a cornerstone of many image manipulation techniques and is vital in the development of convolutional neural networks used in computer vision.
