Abstract

A new kind of rotation moment invariants suitable for recognition of symmetric objects is presented. They are composed of complex moments of the image and their invariance to rotation is achieved by multiplicative phase cancellation. Unlike earlier moment invariants they explicitly consider the degree of symmetry of the objects. Thanks to this, they do not vanish on symmetric objects and are able to recognize them.
