Abstract: Certain signal classes such as audio signals call for signal representations with the ability to adapt to the signal's properties. In this article we introduce the new concept of quilted frames, which aim at adaptivity in time-frequency representations. As opposed to Gabor or wavelet frames, this new class of frames allows for the adaptation of the signal analysis to the local requirements of signals under consideration. Quilted frames are constructed directly in the time-frequency domain in a signal-adaptive manner. Validity of the frame property guarantees the possibility to reconstruct the original signal. The frame property is shown for specific situations and the Bessel property is proved for the general setting. Strategies for reconstruction from coefficients obtained with quilted Gabor frames and numerical simulations are provided as well.

Review text

The primary motivation for this article stems from the processing of audio and in particular of music signals, where the trade--off between time and frequency resolution has a strong impact on the results of analysis and synthesis. The well--known uncertainty principle makes the choice of just one analysis window a difficult task: different resolutions might be favorable in order to achieve sparse and precise representation for the various signal components. The new class of frames introduced here aim at adaptability in time--frequency representations based on the signal's properties. The paper is organized as follows. Section 1 is introductory. Section 2 provides notation and gives an overview over basic results in Gabor analysis. Section 3 introduces the general concept of quilted Gabor frames. In Section 4, the existence of an upper frame bound for general quilted frames is proved. In Section 5 and Section 6, a lower frame bound is constructed for two particular cases, namely, the partition of the time--frequency plane in stripes, and the replacement of frame elements in a compact region of the coefficient domain. Finally, Section 7 presents numerical examples for these cases.
