The affine transform is general linear transformation of space coordinates of the image:
u = a0 + a1x + a2y
v = b0 + b1x + b2y.
The affine moment invariants are features for pattern recognition computed from moments of objects on images that do not change their value in affine transformation. The geometric moment of order p + q of the image f is defined
.
We can normalize them with respect to translation, then we obtain central moments
,
where xt=m10/m00 and yt=m01/m00 are coordinates of the centroid. The ratios
are then invariant to translation and scaling.
The invariants then can be generated by the graph method or computationally equivalent tensor method.
