Calculation of geometric moments using Fourier plane intensities

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new system for calculating the geometric moments of an input image is presented. The system is based on a mathematical derivation that relates the geometric moments of the input image to the intensity of the Fourier transform of the image. Since optical systems are very efficient at obtaining Fourier transforms, an optical system is used to provide the transform of the input image in this design. An array of detectors is then used to sample the Fourier plane, and a digital postprocessor performs a differentiation process on these Fourier magnitude samples to obtain a vector of values which are combined in a predetermined fashion to provide the geometric moments of the original input function.
