Shift- rotation- and limited-scale-invariant pattern recognition using synthetic discriminant functions

摘要

Abstract: We propose here a simple way to synthesize a shift, rotation and limited size correlation filter, making use of the idea of synthetic discriminant functions (SDF). The SDF is synthesized by superimposing four 2nd order circular harmonics of a training reference pattern in 4 different sizes. Computer simulation experiments have shown that the filter is indeed shift, fully rotation and limited size invariant over a size range from 1 to 1.75. The invariant range can be increased if more training patterns are used.!12
