Pixels
nConsider the block of 4 pixels a,b,c,d
nThese can be considered a 4d vector
n[a,b,c,d] expressed in the basis Space
a
b
c
d
Or in numbers [1,0,0,0], [0,1,0,0], [0,0,1,0], [0,0,0,1]
The pixel values are the results of performing inner product operations between the patch and the pixel basis vectors which select out individual ‘dimensions’ of the patch.
