Analog image processing is the use of an optical computer to process physical, optical images^[1] formed by light waves coming from an object, as opposed to the digital image processing^[2] and its use of digital computers to process pixelated, digital images. Correspondingly, a range of digital image processing techniques possess direct physical analogs. For example, fast Fourier transform algorithms are commonly implemented in digital phase correlation and other digital image processing techniques.^[3]^[4] These digital Fourier transforms can be considered to be the digitized approximation of methods utilizing Fourier transforming properties of an ideal lens.^[5]
