FOURIER TRANSFORM<br />

GABOR TRANSFORM<br />

WAVELET TRANSFORM<br />

Figure 13: Frequency <strong>and</strong> time-<strong>frequency</strong> <strong>methods</strong>. Fourier Transform is obtained by<br />

correlating the original signal with complex sinusoids <strong>of</strong> dierent frequencies (upper<br />

part). In Gabor Transform, the signal is correlated with modulated sinusoidal functions<br />

that slides upon the time axis, thus giving a time-<strong>frequency</strong> representation (middle<br />

part). Wavelets give an alternative time-scale representation but due to their varying<br />

window size, a better resolution for each scale is achieved (bottom part). Furthermore,<br />

the function to be correlated with the original signal can be chosen depending on the<br />

application (e.g. in the graph quadratic B-Splines wavelets are shown).<br />
