Fractional Fourier Transform and Its Applications

Fractional Fourier Transform is a type of Linear Conanical Transform, which has an extra free parameter when compared to ordinary Fourier Transform. This free parameter corresponds to the projection of the time-frequency representation of the signal at a certain angle which depends on the parameter value. FrFT has found a wide range of applications in signal and image processing, especially whenever there are time- or space- variant systems or signals are involved. Below, we list our contributions to the area and the applications we have developed based on FrFT.

  • Fractional Fourier Decompositions
  • Image Compression with FrFT
  • Perspective Projections and FrFT
