%0 Book Section %T Introduction to gyrator transform publisher American Institute of Physics (AIP) %D 2007 %U 978-0-7354-0463-2 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/53357 %X We introduce the gyrator transform which produces a rotation of two-dimensional signal in phase space. Main properties of this transform are considered. The flexible optical set up for gyrator transform experimental implementation is discussed. The applications of the gyrator transform to image processing such as filtering, noise reduction, encryption are demonstrated. %~
