Theory, implementation and applications of nonstationary Gabor frames

چکیده
Signal analysis with classical Gabor frames leads to a fixed time-frequency resolution over the whole time-frequency plane. To overcome the limitations imposed by this rigidity, we propose an extension of Gabor theory that leads to the construction of frames with time-frequency resolution changing over time or frequency. We describe the construction of the resulting nonstationary Gabor frames and give the explicit formula for the canonical dual frame for a particular case, the painless case. We show that wavelet transforms, constant-Q transforms and more general filter banks may be modeled in the framework of nonstationary Gabor frames. Further, we present the results in the finite-dimensional case, which provides a method for implementing the above-mentioned transforms with perfect reconstruction. Finally, we elaborate on two applications of nonstationary Gabor frames in audio signal processing, namely a method for automatic adaptation to transients and an algorithm for an invertible constant-Q transform.

Nonstationary Gabor frames - Existence and construction
Nonstationary Gabor frames were recently introduced in [2] and represent a natural generalization of classical Gabor frames by allowing for adaptivity of windows and lattice in either time or frequency. In this paper we show a general existence result for this family of frames. We also construct nonstationary Gabor frames with non-compactly supported windows from a related painless nonorthogona...

To overcome the limitation induced by the fixed timefrequency resolution over the whole time-frequency plane of Gabor frames, we propose a simple extension of the Gabor theory leading to the construction of frames with timefrequency resolution evolving over time or frequency.

متن کاملImage processing by alternate dual Gabor frames
We present an application of the dual Gabor frames to image processing. Our algorithm is based on finding some dual Gabor frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the underlying Hilbert space. The advantages of these duals constructed by a polynomial of Gabor frame generators are compared with their canonical dual.
متن کاملApproximately dual frames in Hilbert spaces and applications to Gabor frames
Approximately dual frames are studied in the Hilbert space setting. Approximate duals are easier to construct than classical dual frames, and can be tailored to yield almost perfect reconstruction. Bounds on the deviation from perfect reconstruction are obtained for approximately dual frames constructed via perturbation theory. An alternative bound is derived for the rich class of Gabor frames,...
متن کاملGabor Systems about any Symmetric Points in Two Dimensions
Gabor system plays an important role in signal processing, image processing and other applications because of their redundancy properties. In this paper, symmetric or antisymmetric Gabor frames in two dimensions about any symmetric points are constructed from Gabor frames given. In special, symmetric or antisymmetric Parseval Gabor frames with better properties are obtained. Some thoughts of ex...
