Abstract

The nice relationship existing among the Hermite-Gauss and the Laguerre-Gauss image expansions, whose basis functions span the same signal space, is investigated. As a result, a novel efficient method for Cartesian to polar coordinate inter-conversion, especially suited for dedicated hardware realization, is proposed. Applications to local image rotation, based on the simple steerability of the Laguerre-Gauss expansion, and to local image analysis, based on Gaussian derivatives, are considered in detail. A possible fixed-point realization of the proposed inter-conversion scheme is discussed.
