The Continuous quaternion Algebra-Valued Wavelet Transform and the Associated Uncertainty Principle

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to extend the wavelet transform to quaternion algebra using the kernel of the two-sided quaternion Fourier transform (QFT). We study some fundamental properties of this extension such as scaling, translation, rotation, Parseval's identity, inversion theorem, and a reproducing kernel, then we derive the associated Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle UP. Finally, using the quaternion Fourier representation of the CQWT we generalize the logarithmic UP and Hardy's UP to the CQWT domain.
