# Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) Imaging Method  
---  
## Overview  
The *DCT* (Discrete Cosine Transform) imaging method is a classical single-pixel imaging technique based on discrete cosine patterns. This orthogonal pattern basis is the same one historically used in JPEG compression.  

| Development Status | Technique Specificity | Measurement Output Format | Example Patterns |
