...filter

The helix transform Claerbout (1998) would map this 2-D filter to an equivalent 1-D filter by imposing the equality Z_x = Z_t^N_t, where N_t is the length of the t axis or, equivalently, the diameter of the corresponding helix Rickett and Guitton (2000). This transformation is not essential for the further discussion.
