A survey of uncertainty principles and some signal processing applications
The goal of this paper is to review the main trends in the domain of
uncertainty principles and localization, emphasize their mutual connections and
investigate practical consequences. The discussion is strongly oriented
towards, and motivated by signal processing problems, from which significant
advances have been made recently. Relations with sparse approximation and
coding problems are emphasized
An optimally concentrated Gabor transform for localized time-frequency components
Gabor analysis is one of the most common instances of time-frequency signal
analysis. Choosing a suitable window for the Gabor transform of a signal is
often a challenge for practical applications, in particular in audio signal
processing. Many time-frequency (TF) patterns of different shapes may be
present in a signal and they can not all be sparsely represented in the same
spectrogram. We propose several algorithms, which provide optimal windows for a
user-selected TF pattern with respect to different concentration criteria. We
base our optimization algorithm on -norms as measure of TF spreading. For
a given number of sampling points in the TF plane we also propose optimal
lattices to be used with the obtained windows. We illustrate the potentiality
of the method on selected numerical examples
