• Whiten images in Matlab

  Previously, I showed how to whiten a matrix in Matlab. This involves finding the inverse square root of the covariance matrix of a set of observations, which is prohibitively expensive when the observations are high-dimensional – for instance, high-resolution natural images. Thankfully, it’s possible to whiten a set of natural images approximately by multiplying the…
