Color component 3D Arnold transform for polychromatic pattern recognition

We propose a novel method for polychromatic pattern recognition based on color component 3D Arnold transform. Three color components (for example RGB) are first transformed into three chaotic images by the use of 3D Arnold transform. And then any one of the chaotic images is chosen as the input image of the JTC to be recognized. As a result, strong color discrimination capability is achieved and common color images as well as some special color images can be recognized, while still preserving compact system and easier analysis of the output. Numerical results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
