Palmprint verification is an approach for verifying a palmprint input by matching the input to the claimed identity template stored in a database. If the dissimilarity measure between the input and the claimed template is below the predefined threshold value, the palmprint input is verified possessing same identity as the claimed identity template. This paper introduces an experimental evaluati...

− Several pattern recognition applications use orthogonal moments to capture independent shape characteristics of an image, with minimum amount of information redundancy in a feature set. Legendre, Zernike, and Pseudo-Zernike moments are examples of such orthogonal feature descriptors. An image can also be reconstructed from a sufficiently large number of orthogonal moments. Discrete orthogonal...

Despite the fact that images are a primary source of information, the rapid growing of tools that used to amendment images makes the reliability of the digital images in risk. Copy-Move forgery is one important method to forge an image; where part of the image is copied and pasted in another part of the same image. Regarding the related literature in this topic, many methods were developed to d...

In this paper, the quaternion Bessel-Fourier moments are introduced. The significance of phase information in quaternion Bessel-Fourier moments is investigated and an accurate estimation method for rotation angle is described. Furthermore, a new set of invariant descriptors based on the magnitude and the phase information of quaternion Bessel-Fourier moments is derived. Experimental results sho...

Geometric distortion is known as one of the most difficult attacks to resist. Geometric distortion desyn-chronizes the location of the watermark and hence causes incorrect watermark detection. According to the Support Vector Regression (SVR), a new image watermarking detection algorithm against geometric attacks is proposed in this paper, in which the steady Pseudo-Zernike moments and Krawtchou...

In this paper, we present a new and effective color image retrieval scheme for combining all the three i.e. color, texture and shape information, which achieved higher retrieval efficiency. Firstly, the image is predetermined by using fast color quantization algorithm with clusters merging, and then a small number of dominant colors and their percentages can be obtained. Secondly, the spatial t...

Intra-pulse modulation recognition under negative signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment is a research challenge. This article presents a robust algorithm for the recognition of 5 types of radar signals with large variation range in the signal parameters in low SNR using the combination of the Short-time Ramanujan Fourier transform (ST-RFT) and pseudo-Zernike moments invariant features. The ST...

This paper introduces a novel discriminant moment-based method as a feature extraction technique for face recognition. In this method, pseudo Zernike moments are performed before the application of Fisher’s Linear Discriminant to achieve a stable numerical computation and good generalization in small-sample-size problems. Fisher’s Linear Discriminant uses pseudo Zernike moments to derive an enh...

A new method is proposed for fast computation of accurate pseudo-Zernike moments for binary and gray level images. These orthogonal moments are computed as a linear combination of accurate geometric and radial geometric moments, which are computed by mathematical integration of the monomial polynomials over digital image pixels. The proposed method is fast, accurate, simple, and easy programmab...
