Abstract
In this paper we present a stable, recursive algorithm for the Gabor filter that achieves—to within a multiplicative constant—the fastest possible implementation. For a signal consisting of N samples, our implementation requires O(N) multiply-and-add (MADD) operations, that is, the number of computations per input sample is constant. Further, the complexity is independent of the values of s and w in the Gabor kernel and coefficients of the recursive equation have a simple, closed-form solution given s and w. Our implementation admits not only a "forward" Gabor filter but an inverse filter that is also O(N) complexity.
