Abstract

Hypercomplex polar Fourier analysis treats a signal as a vector field and generalizes the conventional polar Fourier analysis. It can handle signals represented by hypercomplex numbers such as color images. It is reversible that can reconstruct image. Its coefficient has rotation invariance property that can be used for feature extraction. With these properties, it can be used for image processing applications like image representation and image understanding. However in order to increase the computation speed, fast algorithm is needed especially for image processing applications like realtime systems and limited resource platforms. This paper presents fast hypercomplex polar Fourier analysis that based on symmetric properties and mathematical properties of trigonometric functions. Proposed fast hypercomplex polar Fourier analysis computes symmetric eight points simultaneously that significantly reduce the computation time.
