Why is the Linear Canonical Transform so little known ?

چکیده
The linear canonical transform (LCT), is the name of a parameterized continuum of transforms which include, as particular cases, the most widely used linear transforms and operators in engineering and physics such as the Fourier transform, fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), Fresnel transform (FRST), time scaling, chirping, and others. Therefore the LCT provides a unified framework for studying the behavior of many practical transforms and system responses in optics and engineering in general. From the system-engineering point of view the LCT provides a powerful tool for design and analysis of the characteristics of optical systems. Despite this fact only few authors take advantage of the powerful and general LCT theory for analysis and design of optical systems. In this paper we review some important properties about the continuous LCT and we present some new results regarding the discretization and computation of the LCT.

Sampling Rate Conversion in the Discrete Linear Canonical Transform Domain
Sampling rate conversion (SRC) is one of important issues in modern sampling theory. It can be realized by up-sampling, filtering, and down-sampling operations, which need large complexity. Although some efficient algorithms have been presented to do the sampling rate conversion, they all need to compute the N-point original signal to obtain the up-sampling or the down-sampling signal in the tim...
متن کاملPolar Linear Canonical Transform in Quaternion Domain
Nowadays, almost all images acquired are in color format. Traditional methods process color images by either transforming them into gray scale or dividing them into red, green, and blue components for independent processing, which is definitely not effective in representing color information. Recently, a novel Polar Linear Canonical Transform (PLCT) with parameters in SL(2,<) has been reported,...
متن کاملOn the Canonical-Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Multivariate Skew-Normality
It is well-known that the skew-normal distribution can provide an alternative model to the normal distribution for analyzing asymmetric data. The aim of this paper is to propose two goodness-of-fit tests for assessing whether a sample comes from a multivariate skew-normal (MSN) distribution. We address the problem of multivariate skew-normality goodness-of-fit based on the empirical Laplace tra...
متن کاملSampling of linear canonical transformed signals
Linear canonical transforms play an important role in many fields of optics and signal processing. Well-known transforms such as the Fourier transform, the fractional Fourier transform, and the Fresnel transform can be seen as special cases of the linear canonical transform. In this paper we develop a sampling theorem for linear canonical transformed signals. The well-known Shannon sampling the...
متن کاملOn uncertainty principle for quaternionic linear canonical transform
In this paper, we generalize the linear canonical transform (LCT) to quaternion-valued signals, known as the quaternionic linear canonical transform (QLCT). Using the properties of the LCT we establish an uncertainty principle for the QLCT. This uncertainty principle prescribes a lower bound on the product of the effective widths of quaternion-valued signals in the spatial and frequency domains...
