Problem 1,2

Solution 1:

a) $ {{P}_{0}}({{e}^{j\omega }})=\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{{{p}_{0}}(n){{e}^{-jn\omega }}}=\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{\left( \sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)} \right){{e}^{-jn\omega }}}=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)}{{e}^{-j(m0+n\omega )}}=X({{e}^{j0}},{{e}^{j\omega }})} $

b) $ {{P}_{1}}({{e}^{j\omega }})=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{{{p}_{1}}(m){{e}^{-jm\omega }}}=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{\left( \sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)} \right){{e}^{-jm\omega }}}=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)}{{e}^{-j(m\omega +n0)}}=X({{e}^{j\omega }},{{e}^{j0}})} $

The solution used $ v $ and $ \mu $ to represent frequency axis. It used $ w $ to subuslitude both $ v $ and $ \mu $ which is confusing. The solution should stated let $ w=v $ and $ w=\mu $ at (a) and (b).

c)
$ \sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{{{p}_{0}}(n)}==\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{\left( \sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)} \right)}=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)}{{e}^{-j(m0+n0)}}=X({{e}^{j0}},{{e}^{j0}})} $

d) No, they don’t. From part (a) and (b), we know that $ {{P}_{0}}({{e}^{jw}}) $ and $ {{P}_{1}}({{e}^{jw}}) $ represent the horizontal and vertical axes of the 2D DSFT $ X({{e}^{j\mu }},{{e}^{j\upsilon }}) $, which is not enough for reconstruction of x(m, n). For example, $ {{x}_{1}}(m,n)=\left( \begin{matrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 \\ \end{matrix} \right),_{{}}^{{}}and_{{}}^{{}}{{x}_{2}}(m,n)=\left( \begin{matrix} 0 & 4 \\ 3 & 3 \\ \end{matrix} \right) $ have the same $ {{p}_{0}}(n)=\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & 7 \\ \end{matrix} \right]_{{}}^{{}}and_{{}}^{{}}{{p}_{1}}(m)=\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 6 \\ \end{matrix} \right] $. So, x(m,n) can’t be reconstructed from $ {{p}_{0}}(n)=\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & 7 \\ \end{matrix} \right]_{{}}^{{}}and_{{}}^{{}}{{p}_{1}}(m)=\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 6 \\ \end{matrix} \right] $.

Solution 2:

a) $ {{P}_{0}}({{e}^{j\omega }})=\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)} {{e}^{-jn\omega }}}=X({{e}^{j0}},{{e}^{j\omega }}) $

b) $ {{P}_{1}}({{e}^{j\omega }})=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{\sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)}{{e}^{-jm\omega }}}=X({{e}^{j\omega }},{{e}^{j0}}) $

To be consistent with the problem statement, frequency notation$ \mu $ corresponds to the spatial notation $ m $ and is the first parameter. As a result, the solution of the (a) and (b) can be switched.

c) They do not; $ {{p}_{0}}(n)\ and\ {{p}_{1}}(m) $ are projections at two angles, and do not contain enough information to reconstruct x(m,n).

$ \begin{align} & X({{e}^{j\mu }},{{e}^{j\upsilon }})=\sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{\left[ \sum\limits_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }{x(m,n)} \right]}{{e}^{-jm\mu }}{{e}^{-jn\upsilon }} \\ & X({{e}^{j\mu }},{{e}^{j\upsilon }})\ne \sum\limits_{m=-\infty }^{\infty }{{{p}_{1}}(m)}{{e}^{-jm\mu }}{{e}^{-jn\upsilon }}\ne {{P}_{1}}({{e}^{j\mu }}){{e}^{-jn\upsilon }} \\ & \Rightarrow Can't\ do\ it! \end{align} $ - To form reconstruction, need projections along many angles. - Could reconstruct a very simple object, like triangle.

Therefore, P₀ and P₁ will be the same for X₀ and X₁. We will not be able to recover x₀ and x₁ based on P₀ and P₁.
