Adaptive Gabor transforms. (English) Zbl 1032.94001
Consider a family of Gaussian windows $$g^{\beta, \delta}(x) = \delta^{1/4} e^{i(\beta/2)x^2 - \delta x^2}$$. In this paper the authors study generalized $$(\beta, \delta)$$-Gabor tansforms, which are defined as $$G^{\beta, \delta} (f) (p,q) = \int g^{\bar \beta, \delta}_{p,q}(x)f(x) dx$$, where $$g^{\beta, \delta}_{p,q}(x) = e^{ipx-pq/2}g^{\beta, \delta}(x-q)$$. Based on these representations, the authors provide various adaptive Gabor transforms for analysis of one-dimensional signals by appropriately picking window functions from the family $$g^{\beta, \delta}$$. The algorithms for choosing the best windows are computationally efficient, and multiple examples are provided.
