  1. whitening

    Whitening, also known as decorrelation or sphering, is a data preprocessing technique used in machine learning and signal processing. It transforms the data in a way that removes correlations between the variables, standardizes the range of values, and makes the covariance of the data equal to the identity matrix. Whitening is often used to prepare data for further learning algorithms or to enhance the interpretation of certain data analysis methods. In image and signal processing, whitening refers to reducing redundancy by making the components statistically uncorrelated and having them all contribute equally to the signal.
