Signal and Image Processing with Sinlets    [PDF]

Alexander Y. Davydov
This paper presents a new family of localized orthonormal bases - sinlets - which are well suited for both signal and image processing and analysis. One-dimensional sinlets are related to specific solutions of the time-dependent harmonic oscillator equation. By construction, each sinlet is differentiable infinitely many times and has a well-defined and smoothly-varied instantaneous frequency known in analytical form. For square-integrable transient signals with infinite support, one-dimensional sinlet basis provides an advantageous alternative to the Fourier transform by rendering accurate signal representation via a countable set of real-valued coefficients. The properties of sinlets make them suitable for analyzing many real-world signals whose frequency content changes with time including radar and sonar waveforms, music, speech, biological echolocation sounds, biomedical signals, seismic acoustic waves, and signals employed in wireless communication systems. One-dimensional sinlet bases can be used to construct two- and higher-dimensional bases with variety of potential applications including image analysis and representation.
