Introduction

In mathematics, convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions \(f\) and \(g\) that produces a third function \(f*g\), as the integral of the product of the two functions after one is reflected about the y-axis and shifted.

Convolution as a correlation with "receptive field"

Receptive field is time-reversed impulse response.

Convolution as matrix multiplication

Convolution as a sequence of weighted sums
