TL;DR: This definition is based on a particular set of eigenvectors of the DFT matrix, which constitutes the discrete counterpart of the set of Hermite-Gaussian functions, and is exactly unitary, index additive, and reduces to the D FT for unit order.
Abstract: We propose and consolidate a definition of the discrete fractional Fourier transform that generalizes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in the same sense that the continuous fractional Fourier transform generalizes the continuous ordinary Fourier transform. This definition is based on a particular set of eigenvectors of the DFT matrix, which constitutes the discrete counterpart of the set of Hermite-Gaussian functions. The definition is exactly unitary, index additive, and reduces to the DFT for unit order. The fact that this definition satisfies all the desirable properties expected of the discrete fractional Fourier transform supports our confidence that it will be accepted as the definitive definition of this transform.

TL;DR: In this paper, a computationally efficient numerical procedure to generate 2D correlation spectra from a set of spectral data collected at certain discrete intervals of an external physical variable, such as time, temperature, pressure, etc., is proposed.
Abstract: A computationally efficient numerical procedure to generate twodimensional (2D) correlation spectra from a set of spectral data collected at certain discrete intervals of an external physical variable, such as time, temperature, pressure, etc., is proposed. The method is based on the use of a discrete Hilbert transform algorithm which carries out the time-domain orthogonal transformation of dynamic spectra. The direct computation of a discrete Hilbert transform provides a definite computational advantage over the more traditional fast Fourier transform route, as long as the total number of discrete spectral data traces does not significantly exceed 40. Furthermore, the mathematical equivalence between the Hilbert transform approach and the original formal definition based on the Fourier transform offers an additional useful insight into the true nature of the asynchronous 2D spectrum, which may be regarded as a time-domain cross-correlation function between orthogonally transformed dynamic spectral intensity variations.

TL;DR: A new type of DFRFT is introduced, which are unitary, reversible, and flexible, which works in performance similar to the continuous fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) and can be efficiently calculated by the FFT.
Abstract: The discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRFT) is the generalization of discrete Fourier transform. Many types of DFRFT have been derived and are useful for signal processing applications. We introduce a new type of DFRFT, which are unitary, reversible, and flexible; in addition, the closed-form analytic expression can be obtained. It works in performance similar to the continuous fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) and can be efficiently calculated by the FFT. Since the continuous FRFT can be generalized into the continuous affine Fourier transform (AFT) (the so-called canonical transform), we also extend the DFRFT into the discrete affine Fourier transform (DAFT). We derive two types of the DFRFT and DAFT. Type 1 is similar to the continuous FRFT and AFT and can be used for computing the continuous FRFT and AFT. Type 2 is the improved form of type 1 and can be used for other applications of digital signal processing. Meanwhile, many important properties continuous FRFT and AFT are kept in the closed-form DFRFT and DAFT, and some applications, such as filter design and pattern recognition, are also discussed. The closed-form DFRFT we introduce has the lowest complexity among all current DFRFTs that is still similar to the continuous FRFT.

TL;DR: A new optical encryption technique using the fractional Fourier transform to decrypt the data correctly, in which the input plane, encryp- tion plane, and output planes exist, in addition to the key used for encryption.
Abstract: We propose a new optical encryption technique using the fractional Fourier transform. In this method, the data are encrypted to a stationary white noise by two statistically independent random phase masks in fractional Fourier domains. To decrypt the data correctly, one needs to specify the fractional domains in which the input plane, encryp- tion plane, and output planes exist, in addition to the key used for en- cryption. The use of an anamorphic fractional Fourier transform for the encryption of two-dimensional data is also discussed. We suggest an optical implementation of the proposed idea. Results of a numerical simulation to analyze the performance of the proposed method are pre- sented. © 2000 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. (S0091-3286(00)01811-0)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a discrete fractional Fourier transform (FT) which is essentially the time-evolution operator of the discrete harmonic oscillator, and define its energy eigenfunctions as a discrete algebraic analogue of the Hermite-Gaussian functions.
Abstract: Certain solutions to Harper's equation are discrete analogues of (and approximations to) the Hermite-Gaussian functions. They are the energy eigenfunctions of a discrete algebraic analogue of the harmonic oscillator, and they lead to a definition of a discrete fractional Fourier transform (FT). The discrete fractional FT is essentially the time-evolution operator of the discrete harmonic oscillator.

TL;DR: The fractionalization of the Fourier transform (FT) is analyzed, starting from the minimal premise that repeated application of the fractional Fouriertransform a sufficient number of times should give back the FT.
Abstract: We analyze the fractionalization of the Fourier transform (FT), starting from the minimal premise that repeated application of the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) a sufficient number of times should give back the FT. There is a qualitative increase in the richness of the solution manifold, from U(1) (the circle S1) in the one-dimensional case to U(2) (the four-parameter group of 2 × 2 unitary matrices) in the two-dimensional case [rather than simply U(1)×U(1)]. Our treatment clarifies the situation in the N-dimensional case. The parameterization of this manifold (a fiber bundle) is accomplished through two powers running over the torus T2=S1×S1 and two parameters running over the Fourier sphere S2. We detail the spectral representation of the FrFT: The eigenvalues are shown to depend only on the T2 coordinates; the eigenfunctions, only on the S2 coordinates. FrFT’s corresponding to special points on the Fourier sphere have for eigenfunctions the Hermite–Gaussian beams and the Laguerre–Gaussian beams, while those corresponding to generic points are SU(2)-coherent states of these beams. Thus the integral transform produced by every Sp(4, R) first-order system is essentially a FrFT.

TL;DR: A formula for computing the cross-cor correlation of a pair of images (and hence the auto-correlation of a single image) is presented, based on a previously published hypercomplex Fourier transform.
Abstract: The auto-correlation and cross-correlation function have been generalized to color images, but only by explicit evaluation of a double summation over the whole image for each pixel of the correlation result. Practical use of any correlation method on images of reasonable spatial resolution requires realization using a Fourier transform. A formula for computing the cross-correlation of a pair of images (and hence the auto-correlation of a single image) is presented, based on a previously published hypercomplex Fourier transform.

TL;DR: This study introduces several types of simplified fractional Fourier transform (SFRFT) that are simpler than the original FRFT in terms of digital computation, optical implementation, implementation of gradient-index media, and implementation of radar systems.
Abstract: The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) has been used for many years, and it is useful in many applications. Most applications of the FRFT are based on the design of fractional filters (such as removal of chirp noise and the fractional Hilbert transform) or on fractional correlation (such as scaled space-variant pattern recognition). In this study we introduce several types of simplified fractional Fourier transform (SFRFT). Such transforms are all special cases of a linear canonical transform (an affine Fourier transform or an ABCD transform). They have the same capabilities as the original FRFT for design of fractional filters or for fractional correlation. But they are simpler than the original FRFT in terms of digital computation, optical implementation, implementation of gradient-index media, and implementation of radar systems. Our goal is to search for the simplest transform that has the same capabilities as the original FRFT. Thus we discuss not only the formulas and properties of the SFRFT’s but also their implementation. Although these SFRFT’s usually have no additivity properties, they are useful for the practical applications. They have great potential for replacing the original FRFT’s in many applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new phase-averaging method, denoted as Fourier averaging, is presented for the investigation of periodic flows, where the moments of velocity, as estimated from a small number of samples, show fluctuations in their phasewise development.
Abstract: A new phase-averaging method, denoted as Fourier averaging, is presented for the investigation of periodic flows. In such flows, the moments of velocity, as estimated from a small number of samples, show fluctuations in their phasewise development. In previous methods these fluctuations are reduced by calculating moments from large phase intervals. Fourier averaging, in contrast, neglects high-frequency fluctuations and assumes that they are of no physical relevance. This method supplies additional information on amplitudes and phase angles of discrete frequencies, which may then be used for visualizations of flow fields at any desired phase increment. The Fourier averaging method was verified empirically by LDA measurements and compared to other methods. It is shown that the results obtained by Fourier averaging are more accurate than for previously known methods.

TL;DR: Fast chirp transform (FCT) as discussed by the authors is an extension of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for the detection of signals with variable frequency. And it can alleviate the requirement of generating complicated families of filter functions typically required in the conventional matched filtering process.
Abstract: The detection of signals with varying frequency is important in many areas of physics and astrophysics. The current work was motivated by a desire to detect gravitational waves from the binary inspiral of neutron stars and black holes, a topic of significant interest for the new generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO. However, this work has significant generality beyond gravitational wave signal detection. We define a fast chirp transform (FCT) analogous to the fast Fourier transform. Use of the FCT provides a simple and powerful formalism for detection of signals with variable frequency just as Fourier transform techniques provide a formalism for the detection of signals of constant frequency. In particular, use of the FCT can alleviate the requirement of generating complicated families of filter functions typically required in the conventional matched filtering process. We briefly discuss the application of the FCT to several signal detection problems of current interest.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-Born approximation of the Lippman-Schwinger equation is proposed to handle strong scattering accurately and efficiently, which can efficiently produce good-quality images of complex structures with strong lateral perturbations of slowness.
Abstract: Summary The Born approximation of the Lippman–Schwinger equation has recently been used to implement a recursive method for seismic migration of pressure wavefields. This Born-based method is stable only when the scattering from heterogeneities within an extrapolation depth interval is weak. To handle strong scattering accurately and efficiently, we propose a quasi-Born approximation of the Lippman–Schwinger equation to extrapolate pressure wavefields downwards recursively. We assume that the scattered wavefield is linearly related to the incident wavefield by a scalar function that varies slowly with lateral position within an extrapolation depth interval. The extrapolation is implemented as a dual-doma in procedure in the frequency–space and frequency–wavenumber domains. Fast Fourier transforms are used to transform data between these two domains. The quasi-Born-based depth-migration algorithm is termed the quasi-Born Fourier method. It can efficiently produce good-quality images of complex structures with strong lateral perturbations of slowness. It is stable for strong scattering and can accurately handle scattering and wave propagation along directions at large angles from the main propagation direction. Image quality obtained using the new method is similar to that of a dual-domain migration method that uses the Rytov approximation within each extrapolation depth interval, but the computational speed of the new method is approximately 27 per cent faster than the latter method for pre-stack migration of an industry standard data set—the Marmousi data set. Compared to the Born-based migration method, the quasi-Born Fourier method is slightly less efficient because it requires an additional multiplication and an additional division for each lateral gridpoint in each step of wavefield extrapolation. For weak scattering, the quasi-Born Fourier method converges to the Born-based method. To improve the efficiency of the quasi-Born Fourier method further without losing its accuracy, we propose a hybrid Born/quasi-Born Fourier method in which the Born-based method is used when the scattering within an extrapolation depth interval is weak, and the quasi-Born Fourier method is used for other cases. This hybrid method is approximately 32 per cent faster than the Rytov-based method for the pre-stack depth migration of the Marmousi data set, while the images obtained using both methods have almost the same quality.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial resolution degradation due to Fourier transform is discussed through a signal processing technique and the formulation of sensitivity using signal processing and communication theory is also performed and analyzed.
Abstract: The spatial resolution and sensitivity of the Fourier transform method for fringe detection is analyzed. The spatial resolution degradation due to Fourier transform is discussed through a signal processing technique. It is found that the upper limit of spatial resolution for displacement measurement is half the carrier fringe pitch, or half the grid pitch for the grid method. The formulation of sensitivity using signal processing and communication theory is also performed and analyzed. Measures to improve the spatial resolution sensitivity are discussed.
