Comprehensive Study of Continuous Orthogonal Moments—A Systematic Review
Parminder Kaur, Husanbir Singh Pannu, Avleen Kaur Malhi · ACM Computing Surveys · 2019
Orthogonal moments provide an efficient mathematical framework for computer vision, image analysis, and pattern recognition. They are derived from the polynomials that are relatively perpendicular to each other. Orthogonal moments are more efficient than non-orthogonal moments for image representation with minimum attribute redundancy, robustness to noise, invariance to rotation, translation, and scaling. Orthogonal moments can be both continuous and discrete. Prominent continuous moments are Zernike, Pseudo-Zernike, Legendre, and Gaussian-Hermite. This article provides a comprehensive and comparative review for continuous orthogonal moments along with their applications.
