Zernike Velocity Moments for Description and Recognition of Moving Shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
New Zernike velocity moments have been developed to describe an object, not only by its shape , but also by its motion throughout an image sequence. These are an extended form of the orthogonal Zernike moment set and include velocity information introduced via centralised moments. Initial analysis shows that they perform well when applied to analysing gait sequences resulting in a good recognition rate and a compact description. They have exhibited promising attributes when applied to occluded data, which is reflected in the method of describing a complete temporal sequence and not single images. Further, they appear to provide measures intimately related to the moving and/or morphing shape within the sequence. Their invariance properties suggest that they will be useful in real situations where poor quality or camera zoom problems are apparent.

Zernike velocity moments for sequence-based description of moving features
The increasing interest in processing sequences of images motivates development of techniques for sequence-based object analysis and description. Accordingly, new velocity moments have been developed to allow a statistical description of both shape and associated motion through an image sequence. Through a generic framework motion information is determined using the established centralised mome...
متن کاملOn Moving Object Reconstruction By Moments
Recent research using statistical moments to describe moving shapes through an image sequence has led to an interest in reconstructing moving shapes from their moment description. This paper discusses how the moment description through a series of frames might be used to predict missing or intermediate frames within a sequence. Additionally, this highlights generic aspects of moment reconstruct...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Using Zernike Velocity Moments and Hidden Markov Models for Hand Gesture Recognition
Hand-gesture recognition presents a challenging problem for computer vision due to the articulated structure of the human hand and the complexity of the environments in which it is typically applied. Solving such a problem requires a robust tracking mechanism which in turn depends on an effective feature descriptor and classifier. Moment invariants, as discriminative feature descriptors, have b...
متن کاملOrthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments for invariant pattern recognition
Received July 7, 1993; revised manuscript received November 22, 1993; accepted December 14, 1993 We propose orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments, which are more suitable than Zernike moments, for scaleand rotation-invariant pattern recognition. The new orthogonal radial polynomials have more zeros than do the Zernike radial polynomials in the region of small radial distance. The orthogonal Fourier...
متن کاملObject Classification via Geometrical, Zernike and Legendre Moments
In many applications, different kinds of moments have been utilized to classify images and object shapes. Moments are important features used in recognition of different types of images. In this paper, three kinds of moments: Geometrical, Zernike and Legendre Moments have been evaluated for classifying 3D object images using Nearest Neighbor classifier. Experiments are conducted using ETH-80 da...
