Understanding JPEG Compression Through Fractional Fourier Transform Implementation

Below is a MATLAB source code example demonstrating fractional Fourier transform implementation. Please note that MATLAB provides built-in functions for DCT and iDCT transforms that might deliver superior computational performance for specific use cases.

% MATLAB source code example for fractional Fourier transform

% Input signal definition

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

% Fractional order parameter

alpha = 0.5;

% Compute fractional Fourier transform

X = fracFourier(x, alpha);

% Display transformation results

disp("Fractional Fourier Transform Results:");

disp(X);

% Inverse fractional Fourier transform

y = fracFourier(X, -alpha);

% Display inverse transformation results

disp("Inverse Fractional Fourier Transform Results:");

disp(y);

function X = fracFourier(x, alpha)

% Implementation using matrix operations for fractional Fourier transform

% Algorithm creates transformation matrix through exponential kernel

N = length(x);

n = 0:N-1;

k = n';

W = exp(-1j * 2 * pi * alpha * n * k / N);

X = W * x';

end

```

This example serves as a basic demonstration - users can modify and extend the code according to their specific requirements. The implementation showcases how matrix operators can be used to create custom signal processing transformations. We hope this proves helpful for your computational projects!
