|
|
<p>If you are planning to use the DHT because you’ve heard that it is
|
|
“faster” than the DFT (FFT), <strong>stop here</strong>. The DHT is not
|
|
faster than the DFT. That story is an old but enduring misconception
|
|
that was debunked in 1987.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The discrete Hartley transform (DHT) is an invertible linear transform
|
|
closely related to the DFT. In the DFT, one multiplies each input by
|
|
<em>cos - i * sin</em> (a complex exponential), whereas in the DHT each
|
|
input is multiplied by simply <em>cos + sin</em>. Thus, the DHT
|
|
transforms <code>n</code> real numbers to <code>n</code> real numbers, and has the
|
|
convenient property of being its own inverse. In FFTW, a DHT (of any
|
|
positive <code>n</code>) can be specified by an r2r kind of <code>FFTW_DHT</code>.

|

<span id="index-discrete-Hartley-transform"></span>
|
|
<span id="index-DHT"></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Like the DFT, in FFTW the DHT is unnormalized, so computing a DHT of
|
|
size <code>n</code> followed by another DHT of the same size will result in
|
|
the original array multiplied by <code>n</code>.
|
|
<span id="index-normalization-4"></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The DHT was originally proposed as a more efficient alternative to the
|
|
DFT for real data, but it was subsequently shown that a specialized DFT
|
|
(such as FFTW’s r2hc or r2c transforms) could be just as fast. In FFTW,
|
|
the DHT is actually computed by post-processing an r2hc transform, so
|
|
there is ordinarily no reason to prefer it from a performance
|
|
perspective.<a id="DOCF5" href="#FOOT5"><sup>5</sup></a>
|
|
However, we have heard rumors that the DHT might be the most appropriate
|
|
transform in its own right for certain applications, and we would be
|
|
very interested to hear from anyone who finds it useful.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If <code>FFTW_DHT</code> is specified for multiple dimensions of a
|
|
multi-dimensional transform, FFTW computes the separable product of 1d
|
|
DHTs along each dimension. Unfortunately, this is not quite the same
|
|
thing as a true multi-dimensional DHT; you can compute the latter, if
|
|
necessary, with at most <code>rank-1</code> post-processing passes
|
|
[see e.g. H. Hao and R. N. Bracewell, <i>Proc. IEEE</i> <b>75</b>, 264–266 (1987)].
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
<p>We provide the DHT mainly as a byproduct of some
|
|
internal algorithms. FFTW computes a real input/output DFT of
|
|
<em>prime</em> size by re-expressing it as a DHT plus post/pre-processing
|
|
and then using Rader’s prime-DFT algorithm adapted to the DHT.</p>
