What does a windowing function do?

Window functions perform calculations on a set of rows that are related together. But, unlike the aggregate functions, windowing functions do not collapse the result of the rows into a single value. Instead, all the rows maintain their original identity and the calculated result is returned for every row.

What is window function in image processing?

In signal processing and statistics, a window function (also known as an apodization function or tapering function) is a mathematical function that is zero-valued outside of some chosen interval, normally symmetric around the middle of the interval, usually near a maximum in the middle, and usually tapering away from ...

What is window function in FFT?

A window function provides a weighted selection of a portion of a time waveform for fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis. It is generated by multiplying the original time waveform by a user-defined window function of some width. In this case, width equals two times the number of analysis lines.
