Spin Geometry and Image Processing
Preprint
Abstract
We give a survey of applications of spin geometry to image processing. We mainly focus on the problem of defining geometric Fourier transforms for both grey-level and color images. The definitions we propose rely on a spin generalization of the usual notion of character. We consider three possibilities for the actions of these spin characters: by using the spinor representation of grey-level image surfaces; by considering grey-level and color images as sections of associated bundles built first with standard representations and then with spin representations. Examples of applications to low-pass filtering are presented.Keywords
