Gabor frames and higher dimensional boundaries in signal analysis on manifolds (2309.04094v1)

Abstract: We provide a construction of Gabor frames that encode local linearizations of a signal detected on a curved smooth manifold of arbitrary dimension, with Gabor filters that can detect the presence of higher-dimensional boundaries in the manifold signal. We describe an application in configuration spaces in robotics with sharp constrains. The construction is a higher-dimensional generalization of the geometric setting developed for the study of signal analysis in the visual cortex.
