Uncovering the limits of uniqueness in sampled Gabor phase retrieval: A dense set of counterexamples in L2(ℝ)
No full textSampled Gabor phase retrieval — the problem of recovering a square-integrable signal from the magnitude of its Gabor transform sampled on a lattice — is a fundamental problem in signal processing, with important applications in areas such as imaging and audio processing. Recently, a classification of square-integrable signals which are not phase retrievable from Gabor measurements on parallel lines has been presented. This classification was used to exhibit a family of counterexamples to uniqueness in sampled Gabor phase retrieval. Here, we show that the set of counterexamples to uniqueness in sampled Gabor phase retrieval is dense in L2(ℝ), but is not equal to the whole of L2(ℝ) in general. Overall, our work contributes to a better understanding of the fundamental limits of sampled Gabor phase retrieval.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Analysi

Speaker bio
Rather than offering quick-fix solutions to these complex issues, Dr. Maté weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them.Non UBCUnreviewedFacultyPostdoctoralOthe
Gabor Frames for Model Sets
No full textWe generalize three main concepts of Gabor analysis for lattices to the setting of model sets: fundamental identity of Gabor analysis, Janssen’s representation of the frame operator and Wexler–Raz biorthogonality relations. Utilizing the connection between model sets and almost periodic functions, as well as Poisson’s summations formula for model sets we develop a form of a bracket product that plays a central role in our approach. Furthermore, we show that, if a Gabor system for a model set admits a dual which is of Gabor type, then the density of the model set has to be greater than one.© The Author(s) 201
A fast learning algorithm for Gabor transformation
No full textAn adaptive learning approach for the computation of the coefficients of the generalized nonorthogonal 2-D Gabor transform representation is introduced in this correspondence. The algorithm uses a recursive least squares (RLS) type algorithm. The aim is to achieve minimum mean squared error for the reconstructed image from the set of the Gabor coefficients. The proposed RLS learning offers better accuracy and faster convergence behavior when compared with the least mean squares (LMS)-based algorithms. Applications of this scheme in image data reduction are also demonstrated
Palmprint Identification Using Gabor and Wide Principal Line Features
No full textAbstractIn this paper proposed palmprint identification using Gabor features, Gabor and Wide Principal Line Image (WPLI) features. Extracted a fixed size ROI from palmprint images. Resize the extracted ROI into 64 x 64. Apply the Gabor filters to extract the features from the resized ROI. Dissimilarity distance is used to measure the dissimilarity between the query palmprint and database palmprint images. Experiments were conducted on Polyu Palmprint Database using Gabor features, Gabor and WPLI features. Experimental results shows that the proposed approach using Gabor and WPLI features obtains better results compared with the existing methods
The nomadic war machine of Gabor Maté\u27s Compassionate Inquiry
No full textIn this article it will be argued that Gabor Maté’s published/online works, along with Maurizio and Zaya Benazzo’s documentary film The Wisdom of Trauma (2021), collectively comprise a digital nomadic war machine; one that works to heal the trauma otherwise precipitated by the State Apparatus’s majoritarian channelling of certain desires for profit. As will be discussed, Maté’s analysis of trauma not only rhizomatically connects Michel Foucault’s theorisation of disciplinary/bio-power society with Gilles Deleuze’s conception of control society, but also extends an earlier minoritarian vector of healing – ranging from Jean-Martin Charcot’s to Francine Shapiro’s works. And while this vector initially sought to address the increasing trauma deriving from disciplinary/bio-power’s normalising judgement, and more recently has focused on vestiges thereof in our neoliberal/digital societies of control, its extension has a bearing on democracy, because the persistence of such trauma inhibits the agency required for the functioning and development of this political system
