Phase-Based Signal Representations for Scattering
share
The scattering transform is a non-linear signal representation method based on cascaded wavelet transform magnitudes. In this paper we introduce phase scattering, a novel approach where we use phase derivatives in a scattering procedure. We first revisit phase-related concepts for representing time-frequency information of audio signals, in particular, the partial derivatives of the phase in the time-frequency domain. By putting analytical and numerical results in a new light, we set the basis to extend the phase-based representations to higher orders by means of a scattering transform, which leads to well localized signal representations of large-scale structures. All the ideas are introduced in a general way and then applied using the STFT.
