Multidimensional orthogonal FM transforms

The present a novel class of multidimensional orthogonal FM transforms. The analysis suggests a novel signal-adaptive FM transform possessing interesting energy compaction properties. We show that the proposed signal-adaptive FM transform produces point spectra for multidimensional signals with uniformly distributed samples. This suggests that the proposed transform is suitable for energy compaction and subsequent coding of broadband signals and images that locally exhibit significant level diversity. We illustrate these concepts with simulation experiments
