Determining readability by computer analysis using the Fourier transform to calculate the spatial frequencies of words

Creator:

Piepmeier, Karen Swanson

Abstract:

The black and white pattern formed when an individual word is printed on a page was analyzed by the Fourier transform. The Fourier transform produces a sequence of sinusodial functions, usually called spatial frequencies, whose amplitudes depend upon the particular pattern analyzed. These amplitudes were examined to determine if the...
