DefinitionThis leads us to the concept of convolution which is apparently a mathematical operation that takes two functions h and x, and to create a third function, that in a sense represents the integral of the pointwise product of the different functions of one (t) reversed and shifted by the fixed number of time units (t). Signals processing, probability, and image processing all use convolution to model linear systems, calculate running averages, and compute probability distributions respectively. This provides it a versatile ability to analyse & manipulate signals and data sets in a wide array of applications Signal processing; example: In signal processing, we need to filter signals so we convolve the signal with the filter kernel in the time-domain and obtain the smoothed or modified output signal.
