Satellite Image Compression using Fractional Fourier Transform

The Fourier transform can be successfully used in the field of signal processing, image processing, communications and data compression applications. The discrete fractional Fourier transform, generalization of the discrete Fourier transform, is used for compression of high resolution satellite images. With the extra degree of freedom provided by the DFrFT, its fractional order 'a', h...

Beamforming using the fractional Fourier transform

We present a new method of beamforming using the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). This method encompasses the conventional minimum mean-squared error (MSE) beamforming in the frequency domain or spatial domain as special cases. It is especially useful for applications involving chirp signals such as signal enhancement problems with accelerating sinusoidal sources where the Doppler effect ge...

Acoustic Seabed Classification using Fractional Fourier Transform

In this paper we present a time-frequency approach for acoustic seabed classification. Work reported is based on sonar data collected by the Volume Search Sonar (VSS), one of the five sonar systems in the AN/AQS-20. The Volume Search Sonar is a beamformed multibeam sonar system with 27 fore and 27 aft beams, covering almost the entire water volume (from above horizontal, through vertical, back ...
