Abstract: | 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.

Fred Brackx received a diploma degree in mathematics from Ghent University, Belgium, in 1970 and a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the
same university in 1973. Since 1984 he is professor for mathematical analysis at Ghent University and currently he is leading
the Clifford Research Group. His main interests are function theory and functional analysis for functions with values in quaternion
and Clifford algebras. The research covers Clifford distributions, generalized Fourier, Radon and Hilbert transforms, orthogonal
polynomials and multi-dimensional wavelets.
Nele De Schepper received a diploma degree in mathematics from Ghent University, Belgium, in 2001. Since then she holds an assistantship at

Fourier transforms, orthogonal polynomials and multi-dimensional wavelets.
Frank Sommen received a diploma degree in mathematics from Ghent University, Belgium, in 1978, a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the
same university in 1980, and a habilitation degree in mathematical analysis in 1984. From 1978 until 1999 he was at the National
Fund for Scientific Research (Flanders). Since 2000 he holds a Research professorship at Ghent University. His main interests
are function theory and functional analysis for functions with values in quaternion and Clifford algebras. The research covers
Clifford distributions, generalized Fourier, Radon and Hilbert transforms, orthogonal polynomials and multi-dimensional wavelets,
algebraic analysis, hyperfunctions and radial algebra. |
