  Directional transforms have recently raised a lot of interest thanks to their
numerous applications in signal compression and analysis. In this letter, we
introduce a generalization of the discrete Fourier transform, called steerable
DFT (SDFT). Since the DFT is used in numerous fields, it may be of interest in
a wide range of applications. Moreover, we also show that the SDFT is highly
related to other well-known transforms, such as the Fourier sine and cosine
transforms and the Hilbert transforms.
