The New Insight into the Theory of 2-D Complex and Quaternion Analytic Signals

摘要

The paper presents the overview of the theory of 2-D complex and quaternion analytic signals with the 1~(st)-quadrant spectrum support. Both signals are expressed as complex/hypercomplex sums of partial and total 2-D Hilbert transforms. Moreover, starting with the definition of 2-D complex and quaternion Fourier transforms, the 2-D Hilbert transforms are derived in the form of sums of parts of different parity with respect to signal-domain variables. Some new relations for Hilbert quaternion spectra have been derived. The paper is illustrated with the example of the 2-D separable Cauchy signal.
