The Two-Dimensional Clifford-Fourier Transform

Recently several generalizations to higher dimension of the Fourier transform using Clifford algebra have been introduced, including the Clifford-Fourier transform by the authors, defined as an operator exponential with a Clifford algebra-valued kernel. In this paper an overview is given of all these generalizations and an in depth study of the two-dimensional Clifford-Fourier transform of the authors is presented. In this special two-dimensional case a closed form for the integral kernel may be obtained, leading to further properties, both in the L ₁ and in the L ₂ context. Furthermore, based on this Clifford-Fourier transform Clifford-Gabor filters are introduced.

Theory and Applications of Clifford Support Vector Machines

This paper introduces the Clifford Support Vector Machines (CSVM) as a generalization of the real- and complex-valued Support Vector Machines using the Clifford geometric algebra. In this framework we handle the design of kernels involving the Clifford or geometric product for linear and nonlinear classification and regression. The major advantage of our approach is that we redefine the optimization variables as multivectors. This allows us to have a multivector as output therefore we can represent multiple classes according to the dimension of the geometric algebra in which we work. We conduct comparisons between CSVM and the most used approaches to solve multi-class classification to show that our approach is more suitable for practical use on certain type of multi-class classification problems.     

Geometric preprocessing and neurocomputing for pattern recognition and pose estimation

This paper shows the analysis and design of feed-forward neural networks using the coordinate-free system of Clifford or geometric algebra. It is shown that real-, complex- and quaternion-valued neural networks are simply particular cases of the geometric algebra multidimensional neural networks and that they can be generated using Support Multi-Vector Machines. Particularly, the generation of RBF for neurocomputing in geometric algebra is easier using the SMVM that allows to find the optimal parameters automatically. The use of SVM in the geometric algebra framework expands its sphere of applicability for multidimensional learning.

We introduce a novel method of geometric preprocessing utilizing hypercomplex or Clifford moments. This method is applied together with geometric MLPs for tasks of 2D pattern recognition. Interesting examples of non-linear problems like the grasping of an object along a non-linear curve and the 3D pose recognition show the effect of the use of adequate Clifford or geometric algebras that alleviate the training of neural networks and that of Support Multi-Vector Machines.

In this paper we apply the Clifford geometric algebra for solving problems of visually guided robotics. In particular, using the algebra of motors we model the 3D rigid motion transformation of points, lines and planes useful for computer vision and robotics. The effectiveness of the Clifford algebra representation is illustrated by the example of the hand-eye calibration. It is shown that the problem of the hand-eye calibration is equivalent to the estimation of motion of lines. The authors developed a new linear algorithm which estimates simultaneously translation and rotation as components of rigid motion.
