idct (Signal Processing Toolbox)

Inverse discrete cosine transform

Syntax

```
x = idct(y)
x = idct(y,n)
```

Description

The inverse discrete cosine transform reconstructs a sequence from its discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. The idct function is the inverse of the dct function.

x = idct(y) returns the inverse discrete cosine transform of y

where

and N = length(x), which is the same as length(y). The series is indexed from n = 1 and k = 1 instead of the usual n = 0 and k = 0 because MATLAB vectors run from 1 to N instead of from 0 to N-1.

x = idct(y,n) appends zeros or truncates the vector y to length n before transforming.

If y is a matrix, idct transforms its columns.
