Abstract:
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.

Perpendicular-Axis Theorem
Consider a circular disc of mass M and radius R lying along an x-y plane. The origin lies at the center of the disc, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the disc's plane. All three axes coincide at the disc's center. The moment of inertia of this...
Moment of a Couple: Problem Solving
The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems involving balanced...
