Abstract : We extend non-canonical multiwindow Gabor representations to quincunx sampling and discuss the advantages of representation of textures using non-canonical discrete multiwindow Gabor expansions, with the time-frequency plane sampled in a quincunx fashion. We show that the quincunx sampling is more efficient in terms of placement of the tiling zones in the time-frequency and achieves better time-frequency localisation when compared to the usual rectangular sampling. To emphasise the advantage of quincunx sampling, we compare images reconstructed using multi-window Gabor frames using the canonical dual, a non-canonical dual, and finally a non-canonical dual under a quincunx sampling lattice and discuss our results. We show that the use of non-canonical duals permits a great deal of flexibility in the choice of analysis functions (and consequent generation of Gabor coefficients) and that duals can be optimised to the situation at hand.
