We introduce generalized moment functions (GMFs) to define generalized centroids (G centroids) for object analysis. These GMFs and G centroids enable advanced feature extraction for pattern recognition and image registration.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Geometric Analysis
  • Pattern Recognition

Background:

  • Traditional moment functions describe object shape but have limitations in detailed feature extraction.
  • Object location, orientation, and shape characteristics are crucial for image analysis tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel class of generalized moment functions (GMFs) for geometric point determination.
  • To develop generalized centroids (G centroids) and subcentroids for enhanced object analysis.
  • To demonstrate the utility of GMFs and G centroids in constructing feature vectors for image registration and pattern recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Definition and application of generalized moment functions (GMFs).
  • Extraction of generalized centroids (G centroids) and subcentroids using linear GMFs.
