The dilation matrices of a given process are obtained by a composition of rotation matrices built in with respect to partial correlation coefficients. Particularly interesting is the fact that the obtention of dilation matrices is regardless of the stationarity of the underlying process. When the process is stationary, only one dilation matrix is obtained and it corresponds therefore to Naimark dilation. When the process is nonstationary, a set of dilation matrices is obtained. They correspond to Kolmogorov decomposition. In this work, the nonstationary class of periodically correlated processes was of interest. The underlying periodicity of correlation coefficients is then transmitted to the set of dilation matrices. Because this set lives on the Lie group of rotation matrices, we can see them as points of a closed curve on the Lie group. Geometrical aspects can then be investigated through the shape of the obtained curves, and to give a complete insight into the space of curves, a metric and the derived geodesic equations are provided. The general results are adapted to the more specific case where the base manifold is the Lie group of rotation matrices, and because the metric in the space of curve naturally extends to the space of shapes; this enables a comparison between curves\u2019 shapes and allows then the classification of random processes\u2019 measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e20090717","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,19]],"date-time":"2018-09-19T10:50:31Z","timestamp":1537354231000},"page":"717","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Representation and Characterization of Nonstationary Processes by Dilation Operators and Induced Shape Space Manifolds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2852-8507","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ma\u00ebl","family":"Dugast","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint Etienne, INSA Lyon, DISP, F-69621 Villeurbanne, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8009-8156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guillaume","family":"Bouleux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint Etienne, INSA Lyon, DISP, F-69621 Villeurbanne, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0471-7290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"Marcon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, UJM-Saint Etienne, INSA Lyon, DISP, F-69621 Villeurbanne, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1109\/MSP.2013.2265316","article-title":"Time-Frequency Reassignment and Synchrosqueezing: An Overview","volume":"30","author":"Auger","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Signal Process.
