Continuous quaternion fourier and wavelet transforms

History of quaternion and Clifford Fourier transforms and wavelets

We survey the historical development of quaternion and Clifford Fourier transforms and wavelets.

Two-dimensional quaternion wavelet transform

In this paper we introduce the continuous quaternion wavelet transform (CQWT). We express the admissibility condition in terms of the (right-sided) quaternion Fourier transform. We show that its fundamental properties, such as inner product, norm relation, and inversion formula, can be established whenever the quaternion wavelets satisfy a particular admissibility condition. We present several ...

Quaternion Algebra-Valued Wavelet Transform

The quaternion Fourier transform (QFT), which is a nontrivial generalization of the real and complex Fourier transform (FT) using quaternion algebra has been of interest to researchers for some years (see e.g. [3, 5]). It was found that many FT properties still hold but others have to be modified. Based on the (right-sided) QFT, one can extend the classical wavelet transform (WT) to quaternion ...

Applying Quaternion Fourier Transforms for Enhancing Color Images

The Fourier transforms play a critical role in a broad range of image processing applications, including enhancement, analysis, restoration, and compression. Until recently, it was common to use the conventional methods to deal with colored images. These methods are based on RGB decomposition of the colored image by separating it into three separate scalar images and computing the Fourier trans...
