container : Array, predefined Array for holding results

inplace   : truefalse, specifies that output should overwrite input

The DCT(A) command computes the discrete cosine transform (DCT) of the Array A and returns the result in an Array with datatype float[8].

The InverseDCT(A) command computes the inverse discrete cosine transform of the Array A and returns the result in an Array with datatype float[8].

Before the code performing the computation runs, A is converted to datatype float[8] if it does not have that datatype already. For this reason, it is most efficient if A has this datatype beforehand.

The discrete cosine transform B of a sample of $N$ elements with initial index 1 is defined by the formula

where $C_k$ is given by

Samples may be of arbitrary length, but when the length is a power of $2$, a faster algorithm is used,

If the container=C option is provided, then the results are put into C and C is returned. With this option, no additional memory is allocated to store the result. The container must be an Array having datatype float[8] and size equal to those of A.

If the inplace or inplace=true option is provided, then A is overwritten with the results. In this case, the container option is ignored. Furthermore, A must have datatype float[8].

The SignalProcessing[DCT] and SignalProcessing[InverseDCT] commands are thread-safe as of Maple 17.
