This thesis investigates the application of two-dimensional moment invariants to image pattern recognition. The general problem studied is how to identify an aircraft target and its orientation in real time. The method of moment invariants provides a clever feature extraction technique to reduce the information in an image to a finite number of quantities which are translation, size, and rotation independent.
