摘要
Zernike moments have been proven to be very powerful image descriptors. However, their computational complexity makes them unsuitable for real-time applications. In this paper, a mathematical relationship between geometric and Zernike moments is extracted. In this way, the computation of geometric moments is adequate to derive Zernike moments. Since geometric moments can be efficiently implemented in hardware and their calculation can be performed in real-time, we propose here a new real-time hardware architecture for the computation of Zernike moments. This method outperforms existing software approaches, especially for large images, allowing real-time processing of images up to 4 Mpixels.
