# From numbers to images – Raw image processing with Python

Modern digital system cameras and also some digital compact cameras allow to create and to store images in a so-called raw format. A raw image contains the minimally pre-processed sensor data, meta-data about the picture such as camera model, lens model and camera settings under which the picture has been taken and possibly a fully… Continue reading From numbers to images – Raw image processing with Python

# Calculating the Hermite functions

The Hermite functions appear as the solutions of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator. But they have applications in many other fields and applications, e.g., pseudospectral methods. The Hermite functions $h_n(x)$ are defined as$$\label{eq:h}h_n(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\sqrt{\pi} 2^n n!}} \mathrm{e}^{-x^2/2} H_n(x) \,,$$ where $H_n(x)$ denotes the $n$th Hermite polynomial defined via the recurrence relation$$H_{n}(x) = 2xH_{n-1}(x)-2(n-1)H_{n-2}(x)$$ with… Continue reading Calculating the Hermite functions
