Properties of 2D
Systems: Time
Invariance
What is 2D System?
• a system that processes signals or data, such as images
or spatial signals that vary over horizontal (x-axis)
and vertical (y-axis) dimensions.
• the input signal is typically represented as f(x1,x2),
output signal is h(x1,x2)
where x1and x2 are the two independent variables
• Operations like 2D convolution, 2D Fourier
Transforms, and filtering are key components in
analyzing and manipulating 2D signals.
What is Time Invariance?
• If the input and output characteristics of a system do
not change with time, the system is called the time-
invariant system.
• Mathematically, the system is time-invariant if:
T{f(t−t0)}=h(t−t0)
• This equation means that if the input is shifted by t0
units in time, the output will also be shifted by t0 units
without any change in shape or behavior of the signal.
Time Invariance in 2-D Systems
• For a 2D system to be time-invariant (or shift-
invariant), if the input signal f(x1,x2) is shifted in either
or both dimensions by some value (Δ1,Δ2) the output
must also be shifted by the same amount, without
changing its form.
• Mathematically, the condition for time invariance is:
T{f(x1−Δ1,x2−Δ2)}=h(x1−Δ1,x2−Δ2)
Importance of Time Invariance in 2D
System
• Predictability: Time-invariant systems behave
consistently over time or space, making them easier to
predict and analyze.
• Efficient Filtering: Many common filtering operations in
2D DSP, such as image blurring or edge detection,
assume time invariance, simplifying design and
implementation.
• Convolution Properties: Time-invariant systems allow
the use of convolution for system analysis, making them
crucial for designing filters and performing tasks like
image enhancement, smoothing, or sharpening.
Characteristics of Time Invariant System
• Time-invariant system follow the principle of
superposition.
• The output of the system depends only on the past and
present input
• The Time-invariant system is unaffected from the shift
in input signal it means whenever the input signal is
applied system produces the same output
Properties of Time-Invariant Systems
• Input and output relationship: A time-invariant system
will always produce the same output for a given input,
regardless of when the input was applied.
• Transfer function: The transfer function of a time-
invariant system is not a direct function of time, except
as expressed by the input and output.
• System block: A time-invariant system block commutes
with an arbitrary delay.
Time-Invariant System - Continuous-time
• Case
The time-invariance property of a continuous time system can be tested as
follows −
• Let x(t1,t2) be the input and x(t1-t01,t2-t02 )is the delayed input by t01and
t02 units.
• Then, the output of the system for the input x(t1,t2) is
x(t1,t2)→y(t1,t2)=T[x(t1,t2)]
• The output for the input x(t1-t01,t2-t02 ) is
• x(t1−t01,t2−t02)→y(t1,t2,t01,t02)=T[x(t1−t01,t2−t02)]=y(t1,t2)∣x(t1−t01
,t2−t02)
𝑥(𝑚,𝑛)x(m,n) by some amount 𝑡0t 0 results in the same shift in the output.
• For a 2D signal:𝑇{𝑥(𝑚−𝑚0,𝑛−𝑛0)}=𝑦(𝑚−𝑚0,𝑛−𝑛0)T{x(m−m 0,n−n
0)}=y(m−m 0,n−n 0)where (𝑚0,𝑛0)(m 0,n 0) are spatial or temporal shifts.
• 1. Let 𝑦(𝑚,𝑛)y(m,n) be the output when the input is 𝑥(𝑚,𝑛)x(m,n), i.e.,
• 𝑦(𝑚,𝑛)=𝑇{𝑥(𝑚,𝑛)}y(m,n)=T{x(m,n)}
• 2.Now shift the input by (𝑚0,𝑛0)(m 0,n 0) to get 𝑥(𝑚−𝑚0,𝑛−𝑛0)x(m−m
0,n−n 0). The output becomes:
• 𝑦′(𝑚,𝑛)=𝑇{𝑥(𝑚−𝑚0,𝑛−𝑛0)}y ′ (m,n)=T{x(m−m 0,n−n 0)}
• 3.If the system is time-invariant, the output of the shifted input should be:
• 𝑦′(𝑚,𝑛)=𝑦(𝑚−𝑚0,𝑛−𝑛0)y ′ (m,n)=y(m−m 0,n−n 0)
• Thus, the system is time-invariant if the output for the shifted input is just a
shifted version of the original output, proving time invariance.
PROBLEM
Consider a 2D system where the output is the result of filtering the input
𝑦(𝑚,𝑛)=𝑥(𝑚,𝑛)∗ℎ(𝑚,𝑛)y(m,n)=x(m,n)∗h(m,n)
signal using a filter with a fixed 2D impulse response:
