Clifford Fourier–Mellin moments and their invariants for color image recognition

The aim of this paper is to propose a Fourier–Mellin moments transform, for color object recognition, based on the Clifford algebra valued functions over R+∗×S1. We use these moments to construct descriptors that are invariant under rotation, scale and translation transformations. Application of these invariants in color image recognition is emphasized. Experiment results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method compared to existing ones.
