First Claim
1. A system for numerically modeling evolution of an image propagating through a medium, the system comprising:
- image data comprising a plurality of spatially-indexed amplitude values, the image data comprising a center located relative to the plurality of spatially-indexed amplitude values; and
a propagation medium model comprising quadratic phase properties which are defined relative to a propagation centerline of the propagation medium model,wherein the propagation centerline is aligned relative to the center of the image data;
wherein the propagation medium model has a numerical operator for applying an index-shifted numerical fractional Fourier transform operation on the image data, the numerical operator having original-domain indices and transform-domain indices, wherein the original-domain indices comprise a zero original-domain origin that is centered within the original-domain indices, and the transform-domain indices comprise a zero transform-domain origin that is centered within the transform-domain indices; and
wherein aligning the zero original-domain origin relative to the center of the image data produces a transformed image data comprising a zero frequency-domain origin that is centered within the transform-domain indices.

Abstract
A system for numerically modeling evolution of an image propagating through a medium includes image using image data and a propagation medium model. The propagation medium model aligns a propagation centerline of the propagation medium model relative to the center of the image data. The propagation medium model has a numerical operator for applying an index-shifted numerical fractional Fourier transform operation on the image data, and aligning the zero original-domain origin relative to the center of the image data. The image data has spatially-indexed amplitude values and a center located relative to the spatially-indexed amplitude values. The propagation medium model has quadratic phase properties which are defined relative to a propagation centerline of the propagation medium model. Aligning the zero original-domain origin relative to the center of the image data to produces transformed image data having a zero frequency-domain origin that is centered within the transform-domain indices.
