What is the Image Processing Chain multi-solver?

Image Processing Chain is a guided workflow that chains 2 individual PolySim solvers into one end-to-end analysis, piping each result into the next step.

Yes. Every step runs entirely in your browser using real numerics — no install, no account, no cloud cost. Custom or private solver packs are available as a paid service.

Each output pixel is a weighted sum of its 3×3 neighborhood. Slide this kernel over an image and you get blur, sharpening, or edge maps — the exact operation a convolutional neural network learns.

Governing equation

(f * g) (t) = \int_{- \infty}^{\infty} f (τ) g (t - τ) d τ (σ = 0.4, taps = 3)

Reading this result: Convolution slides the 3-tap kernel over the image; each output pixel is a weighted sum of its 3×3 neighbors. At sigma ≈ 0.4 the weights stay tightly concentrated, so edges and fine detail survive and high-frequency structure is preserved.

Fourier Transform (FFT)Live

decompose a signal into frequencies

Build a signal from a few sine tones plus noise, and the discrete Fourier transform recovers exactly which frequencies are present — the foundation of all signal processing.

Governing equation

X_{k} = n = 0 \sum N - 1 x_{n} e^{- 2 π ik n / N} (N = 256, O (N lo g N))

Reading this result: The FFT splits this 2-tone signal into bins: each input sinusoid at 4, 9 appears as a distinct spike, and with noise at 0 the baseline between them stays clean.
