Time-frequency Perspectives: the “chirplet” Transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a new expansion’ we call the “chirplet transform”. It has been successfully applied to a wide variety of signal processing applications including radar[l] and image processing. There has been a recent debate as to the relative merits of an affine-in-time (wavelet) transform and the classical Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), for the analysis of non-stationary phenomena. Chirplet filters embody both the wavelet and STFT as special cases by decoupling the filter bandwidths and center frequencies. Chirplets, by their embodiment of affine geometry in the TF plane, may also include shears in time and frequency (chirps), and even time-bandwidth product variation (noise bursts) if desired. The most general chirplets may be derived from one or more basic (“mother”) chirplets by the transformations of perspective geometry in the Time-Frequency (TF) plane.

An Improved Chirplet Transform and Its Application for Harmonics Detection
The chirplet transform is the generalization form of fast Fourier Transform, short-time Fourier transform, and wavelet transform. It has the most flexible time frequency window and successfully used in practices. However, the chirplet transform has not inherent inverse transform, and can not overcome the signal reconstructing problem. In this paper, we proposed the improved chirplet transform (...

AbstructWe consider a multidimensional parameter space formed by inner products of a parameterizable family of chirp functions with a signal under analysis. We propose the use of quadratic chirp functions (which we will call q-chirps for short), giving irise to a parameter space that includes both the time-frequency plane and the time-scale plane as 2-D subspaces. The parameter space contains a...

متن کاملWigner-Based Formulation of the Chirplet Transform [Correspondence] - Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
Using the Wigner distribution, we derive and analyze a matrix formulation for the chirplet transform, a signal analysis tool that generalizes the wavelet and short-time Fourier transforms. The formulation expresses the translations, scalings, and shears of the chirplet transform in terms of affine matrix transformations on the time-frequency plane. Our approach leads naturally to several new si...

Advanced soundscape analysis or machine listening are requiring efficient time frequency decompositions. The recent scattering theory is offering a robust hierarchical convolutional decomposition, nevertheless its kernels need to be fixed. The CNN can be seen as the optimal kernel decomposition, nevertheless it requires large amount of training data. This paper aims to show that Chirplet kernel...
