Abstract

This paper presents a new mathematical signal transform that is especially suitable for decoding information related to non-rigid signal displacements. We provide a measure theoretic framework to extend the existing Cumulative Distribution Transform [ACHA 45 (2018), no. 3, 616-641] to arbitrary (signed) signals on R\overline{\mathbb{R}}. We present both forward (analysis) and inverse (synthesis) formulas for the transform, and describe several of its properties including translation, scaling, convexity, linear separability and others. Finally, we describe a metric in transform space, and demonstrate the application of the transform in classifying (detecting) signals under random displacements.
