Discrete multiwindow Gabor-type transforms (Q4355503)

The continuous Gabor transform was previously generalized by the authors to incorporate several window functions [Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 4, No. 2, 188-221, Art. No. A970209 (1997; Zbl 0885.42024)]. This paper examines the discrete-finite case of the multiwindow Gabor scheme. For \(L\)-periodic, discrete-time signals \(f\) with \(L= N'M= M'N\) \((M,N\in\mathbb{N})\), the authors propose the representation scheme \[ f(j)= \sum^{R-1}_{r=0} \sum^{M- 1}_{m=0} \sum^{N- 1}_{n= 0} c_{r,m,n} g_{r,m,n}(j), \] \[ g_{r,m,n}(j):= g_r(j- mN') e^{2\pi i{jn\over N}}. \] They analyze the properties of the sequence of representation functions \(\{g_{r,m,n}\}\). Further, they present discrete Fourier transform based algorithms, including complexity analysis, for the calculation of the expansion coefficients and for the reconstruction of the signal in both signal and transform domains. An example illustrates the advantages of the multiwindow scheme over the single-window scheme.
