Signal Processing on Cell Complexes
share
The processing of signals supported on non-Euclidean domains has attracted large interest in the last years. Thus far, such non-Euclidean domains have been abstracted primarily as graphs with signals supported on the nodes, though recently the processing of signals on more general structures such as simplicial complexes has also been considered. In this paper, we give an introduction to signal processing on (abstract) regular cell complexes, which provide a unifying framework encompassing graphs, simplicial complexes, cubical complexes and various meshes as special cases. We discuss how appropriate Hodge Laplacians for these cell complexes can be derived. These Hodge Laplacians enable the construction of convolutional filters, which can be employed in linear filtering and non-linear filtering via neural networks defined on cell complexes.
