Abstract
We derive and discuss an algorithm for separating measurement-and null-space components of an object with respect to a given imaging system. This algorithm requires a discrete-to-discrete approximation of a typically continuous-to-discrete imaging system, and problems associated with such an approximation are examined. Situations where knowledge of the measurement and null spaces is crucial for analyzing imaging systems are discussed. We conclude with two examples demonstrating the usefulness of this algorithm, even in the discrete-to-discrete approximation.
