Abstract

A mathematical approach to image representation and analysis is presented. The formalism is based on the finite Zak transform (FZT), which provides an important tool for the analysis of images that by their very nature are spatially nonstationary. The discrete Zak transform is extended to two spatial dimensions, and fundamental properties of the two-dimensional FZT are discussed, emphasizing the direct relationship that exists between the Zak transform and the Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm. Subsampling and interpolation are considered in the context of various mappings into the combined space. The two-dimensional FZT is applied to image representation and image analysis in computation of the Gabor expansion coefficients with arbitrary resolution. A technique for stable reconstruction is implemented and illustrated.
