Computation of orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments in two coordinate systems
Haitao Hu, Ping Zi-liang · Journal of the Optical Society of America A · 2009
The computing method for orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments in a polar coordinate system is presented in detail. The image expressed in a Cartesian system has to be transformed into a polar coordinate system first when we calculate the orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments of the image in a polar coordinate system, which will increase both computational complexity and error. To solve the problem, a new direct computing method for orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments in a Cartesian coordinate system is proposed, which can avoid the image transformation between two coordinate systems and eliminate the rounding error in coordinate transformation and decrease the computational complexity.
