An Efficient Calculation of Quaternion Correlation of Signals and Color Images

10 May 2022  ·  Artyom M. Grigoryan, Sos S. Agaian ·

Over the past century, a correlation has been an essential mathematical technique utilized in engineering sciences, including practically every signal/image processing field. This paper describes an effective method of calculating the correlation function of signals and color images in quaternion algebra. We propose using the quaternions with a commutative multiplication operation and defining the corresponding correlation function in this arithmetic. The correlation between quaternion signals and images can be calculated by multiplying two quaternion DFTs of signals and images. The complexity of the correlation of color images is three times higher than in complex algebra.
