How does zero padding affect DFT?
You can interpolate the DFT by zero padding. Zero padding enables you to obtain more accurate amplitude estimates of resolvable signal components. On the other hand, zero padding does not improve the spectral (frequency) resolution of the DFT. The resolution is determined by the number of samples and the sample rate.
What is the significance of zero padding?
Zero padding is a technique typically employed to make the size of the input sequence equal to a power of two. In zero padding, you add zeros to the end of the input sequence so that the total number of samples is equal to the next higher power of two.
Why is it necessary to pad an image with zeros before computing its DFT?
If one has any interest in the spectrum of the windowing function used to isolate the time-domain sample, then zero-padding WILL increase the frequency resolution of the windowing function.
What is the effect of zero padding in frequency domain?
In this case, we can say “zero padding in the frequency domain results in an increased sampling rate in the time domain”.
