2-D affine generalized fractional Fourier transform

The 2-D Fourier transform has been generalized into the 2-D separable fractional Fourier transform (replaces the 1-D Fourier transform by the l-D fractional Fourier transform for each variable) and the 2-D separable canonical transform (further replaces the fractional Fourier transform by canonical transform) of Sahin, Ozaktas and Mendlovic (see Appl. Opt., vol.37, no.11, p.2130-41, 1998). It also has been generalized into the 2-D unseparable fractional Fourier transform with 4 parameters of Sahin et al. (see Appl. Opt., vol.37, no.23, p.5444-53, 1998). In this paper, we introduce the 2-D affine generalized fractional Fourier transform (AGFFT). These 2-D transforms has been further generalized. We show it can deal with many problems that can not be dealt with by these 2-D transforms and extend their utility.
