-The fractional Fourier transform is a signal processing tool which is strongly associated with optical data manipulation. It has fast computational algorithms and it suggests solutions to interesting signal processing tasks. In this paper we review its properties as well as present a new set of its applications for blind source separation of images and for RF photonics (a field in which photonic devices are used to process RF signals).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
