Image Projective Invariants
Abstract:
In this paper, we have proved the existence of projective moment invariants of images using finite combinations of weighted moments, with relative projective differential invariants as weight functions. We have given some instances constructed in that way, and analyzed possible issues could affect the performance. Some procedures are taken to estimate partial derivatives of discrete images, and a new method is designed to normalize the number of pixels for discrete images to minimize the changes before and after the projective transformation. We have carried out experiments using popular image databases and real images to test the performance. And the results show that the invariants proposed in this paper have better stability and discriminability than other previously used moment invariants in image retrieval and classification. Users can directly extract invariant features of images for a given planar object from different viewpoints without knowing the parameters of the 2D projective transformations. Therefore, the projective moment invariant could be potentially useful for planar object recognition, image description and classification.
