TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized discrete cosine transform with three parameters was proposed and its orthogonality was proved for some new cases, and a new type of DCT was also proposed.
Abstract: The discrete cosine transform (DCT), introduced by Ahmed, Natarajan and Rao, has been used in many applications of digital signal processing, data compression and information hiding. There are four types of the discrete cosine transform. In simulating the discrete cosine transform, we propose a generalized discrete cosine transform with three parameters, and prove its orthogonality for some new cases. A new type of discrete cosine transform is proposed and its orthogonality is proved. Finally, we propose a generalized discrete W transform with three parameters, and prove its orthogonality for some new cases.

TL;DR: A watermarking method, which minimizes the impact of the watermark implementation on the overall quality of an image, is developed using a peak signal-to-noise ratio to evaluate quality degradation.
Abstract: In this paper, we evaluate the degradation of an image due to the implementation of a watermark in the frequency domain of the image. As a result, a watermarking method, which minimizes the impact of the watermark implementation on the overall quality of an image, is developed. The watermark is embedded in magnitudes of the Fourier transform. A peak signal-to-noise ratio is used to evaluate quality degradation. The obtained results were used to develop a watermarking strategy that chooses the optimal radius of the implementation to minimize quality degradation. The robustness of the proposed method was evaluated on the dataset of 1000 images. Detection rates and receiver operating characteristic performance showed considerable robustness against the print-scan process, print-cam process, amplitude modulated, halftoning, and attacks from the StirMark benchmark software.

TL;DR: This work shows that the fast Fourier transform, so called hyperbolic cross FFT, suffers from an increase of its condition number for both increasing refinement and increasing spatial dimension.
Abstract: A straightforward discretisation of problems in high dimensions often leads to an exponential growth in the number of degrees of freedom. Sparse grid approximations allow for a severe decrease in the number of used Fourier coefficients to represent functions with bounded mixed derivatives and the fast Fourier transform (FFT) has been adapted to this thin discretisation. We show that this so called hyperbolic cross FFT suffers from an increase of its condition number for both increasing refinement and increasing spatial dimension.

TL;DR: When compared, Discrete Cosine Transform and Fast Fourier Transform give better compression ratio, while Discrete Wavelet Transform yields good fidelity parameters with comparable compression ratio.
Abstract: In this paper, a transform based methodology is presented for compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The methodology employs different transforms such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). A comparative study of performance of different transforms for ECG signal is made in terms of Compression ratio (CR), Percent root mean square difference (PRD), Mean square error (MSE), Maximum error (ME) and Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The simulation results included illustrate the effectiveness of these transforms in biomedical signal processing. When compared, Discrete Cosine Transform and Fast Fourier Transform give better compression ratio, while Discrete Wavelet Transform yields good fidelity parameters with comparable compression ratio.

TL;DR: In this paper, a video encoder may transform residual data by using a transform selected from a group of transforms, which is applied to the residual data to create a two-dimensional array of transform coefficients.
Abstract: A video encoder may transform residual data by using a transform selected from a group of transforms. The transform is applied to the residual data to create a two-dimensional array of transform coefficients. A scanning mode is selected to scan the transform coefficients in the two-dimensional array into a one-dimensional array of transform coefficients. The combination of transform and scanning mode may be selected from a subset of combinations that is based on an intra-prediction mode. The scanning mode may also be selected based on the transform used to create the two-dimensional array. The transforms and/or scanning modes used may be signaled to a video decoder.

TL;DR: In this chapter, the fundamentals of uniform and nonuniform sampling methods in one- and multidimensional NMR are reviewed.
Abstract: Beginning with the introduction of Fourier Transform NMR by Ernst and Anderson in 1966, time domain measurement of the impulse response (free induction decay) consisted of sampling the signal at a series of discrete intervals. For compatibility with the discrete Fourier transform, the intervals are kept uniform, and the Nyquist theorem dictates the largest value of the interval sufficient to avoid aliasing. With the proposal by Jeener of parametric sampling along an indirect time dimension, extension to multidimensional experiments employed the same sampling techniques used in one dimension, similarly subject to the Nyquist condition and suitable for processing via the discrete Fourier transform. The challenges of obtaining high-resolution spectral estimates from short data records were already well understood, and despite techniques such as linear prediction extrapolation, the achievable resolution in the indirect dimensions is limited by practical constraints on measuring time. The advent of methods of spectrum analysis capable of processing nonuniformly sampled data has led to an explosion in the development of novel sampling strategies that avoid the limits on resolution and measurement time imposed by uniform sampling. In this chapter we review the fundamentals of uniform and nonuniform sampling methods in one- and multidimensional NMR.

TL;DR: The proposed algorithm has significantly lower arithmetic complexity, shorter delays and simpler indexing schemes than existing algorithms based on the concatenation of the WHT and FFT, and saves about 70%-36% in computer run-time for transform lengths of 16-4096.
Abstract: An efficient fast Walsh-Hadamard-Fourier transform algorithm which combines the calculation of the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) and the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is introduced. This can be used in Walsh-Hadamard precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems (WHT-OFDM) to increase speed and reduce the implementation cost. The algorithm is developed through the sparse matrices factorization method using the Kronecker product technique, and implemented in an integrated butterfly structure. The proposed algorithm has significantly lower arithmetic complexity, shorter delays and simpler indexing schemes than existing algorithms based on the concatenation of the WHT and FFT, and saves about 70%-36% in computer run-time for transform lengths of 16-4096.

TL;DR: In this article, the interpolated discrete Fourier transform (IpDFT) with maximum sidelobe decay windows is investigated for machinery fault feature identification, which combines the idea of local frequency band zooming-in with the IpDFTs and demonstrates high accuracy and frequency resolution in signal parameter estimation when different characteristic frequencies are very close.
Abstract: Complex systems can significantly benefit from condition monitoring and diagnosis to optimize operational availability and safety. However, for most complex systems, multi-fault diagnosis is a challenging issue, as fault-related components are often too close in the frequency domain to be easily identified. In this paper, the interpolated discrete Fourier transform (IpDFT) with maximum sidelobe decay windows is investigated for machinery fault feature identification. A novel identification method called the zoom IpDFT is proposed, which combines the idea of local frequency band zooming-in with the IpDFT and demonstrates high accuracy and frequency resolution in signal parameter estimation when different characteristic frequencies are very close. Simulation and a case study on rolling element bearing vibration data indicate that the proposed zoom IpDFT based on multiple modulations has better capability to identify characteristic components than do traditional methods, including fast Fourier transform (FFT) and zoom FFT.

TL;DR: In this paper, a DCT-based speech enhancement system with pitch synchronous analysis is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of fixed window shift and the amount of shift in the analysis window is now based on the pitch period, thus increasing the interframe similarities.
Abstract: Discrete cosine transform (DCT) has been proven to be a good approximation to the Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) and has similar properties to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). It also possesses a better energy compaction capability which is advantageous for speech enhancement. However, frame to frame variations of DCT coefficients even for a perfectly stationary signal can be observed. Therefore a DCT-based speech enhancement system with pitch synchronous analysis is proposed to overcome this problem. It reduces the drawbacks of fixed window shift and the amount of shift in the analysis window is now based on the pitch period, thus increasing the inter-frame similarities. Furthermore, a Wiener filter using the a priori signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with an adaptive parameter is also derived and implemented as an advanced noise reduction filter. This proposed speech enhancement system is evaluated in terms of several objective measures and the experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed system.

TL;DR: A method to optimize the reconstruction of a hologram when the storage device has a limited dynamic range and a minimum grain size is demonstrated.
Abstract: We demonstrate a method to optimize the reconstruction of a hologram when the storage device has a limited dynamic range and a minimum grain size. The optimal solution at the recording plane occurs when the object wave has propagated an intermediate distance between the near and far fields. This distance corresponds to an optimal order and magnification of the fractional Fourier transform of the object.

TL;DR: When compared, Discrete Wavelet Transform gives higher compression respect to Discrete Cosine Transform and Fast Fourier Transform in terms of compression ratio, and DWT as well as good fidelity parameters also.
Abstract: Speech Compression is a field of digital signal processing that focuses on reducing bit-rate of speech signals to enhance transmission speed and storage requirement of fast developing multimedia. This paper explores a transform based methodology for compression of the speech signal. In this methodology, different transforms such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) are exploited. A comparative study of performance of different transforms is made in terms of Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and Normalized root-mean square error (NRMSE). The simulation results included illustrate the effectiveness of these transforms in the field of data compression. When compared, Discrete Wavelet Transform gives higher compression respect to Discrete Cosine Transform and Fast Fourier Transform in terms of compression ratio, and DWT as well as good fidelity parameters also.

TL;DR: It is shown that by judiciously choosing sample points on these curved reference surfaces, it is possible to represent the diffracted signals in a nonredundant manner and provide a simple and robust basis for accurate and efficient computation.
Abstract: Fresnel integrals corresponding to different distances can be interpreted as scaled fractional Fourier transformations observed on spherical reference surfaces. We show that by judiciously choosing sample points on these curved reference surfaces, it is possible to represent the diffracted signals in a nonredundant manner. The change in sample spacing with distance reflects the structure of Fresnel diffraction. This sampling grid also provides a simple and robust basis for accurate and efficient computation, which naturally handles the challenges of sampling chirplike kernels.

TL;DR: A fast Fourier transform on regular d-dimensional lattices is introduced, which can be used to perform a fast multivariate wavelet decomposition, where the wavelets are given as trigonometric polynomials and the preferred directions of the decomposition itself can be characterized.
Abstract: We introduce a fast Fourier transform on regular d-dimensional lattices. We investigate properties of congruence class representants, i.e. their ordering, to classify directions and derive a Cooley-Tukey-Algorithm. Despite the fast Fourier techniques itself, there is also the advantage of this transform to be parallelized efficiently, yielding faster versions than the one-dimensional Fourier transform. These properties of the lattice can further be used to perform a fast multivariate wavelet decomposition, where the wavelets are given as trigonometric polynomials. Furthermore the preferred directions of the decomposition itself can be characterised.

TL;DR: This paper introduces a method for determining the locations of jump discontinuities, or edges, in a one-dimensional periodic piecewise-smooth function from nonuniform Fourier coefficients.
Abstract: Edge detection is important in a variety of applications. While there are many algorithms available for detecting edges from pixelated images or equispaced Fourier data, much less attention has been given to determining edges from nonuniform Fourier data. There are applications in sensing (e.g. MRI) where the data is given in this way, however. This paper introduces a method for determining the locations of jump discontinuities, or edges, in a one-dimensional periodic piecewise-smooth function from nonuniform Fourier coefficients. The technique employs the use of Fourier frames. Numerical examples are provided.

Abstract: Using Coherent-State (CS) techniques, we prove a sampling theorem for holomorphic functions on the hyperboloid (or its stereographic projection onto the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}_{1}$ ), seen as a homogeneous space of the pseudo-unitary group SU(1,1). We provide a reconstruction formula for bandlimited functions, through a sinc-type kernel, and a discrete Fourier transform from N samples properly chosen. We also study the case of undersampling of band-unlimited functions and the conditions under which a partial reconstruction from N samples is still possible and the accuracy of the approximation, which tends to be exact in the limit N→∞.

Abstract: Linear canonical transform (LCT) is a four-parameter (a,b,c,d) class of linear integral transform. It has been the focus of many research papers. In this paper, we show that the linear canonical transform is nothing more than a variation of the standard Fourier transform and, as such, many of its properties, such as its inversion formula, sampling theorems, convolution theorems and Hilbert transform can be deduced from those of the Fourier transform by a simple change of variable. Finally, An example of the application of the LCT is also given.
