Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLower-Dimensional Feature Sets for Template-Based Motion Recognition ApproachesMd. Atiqur Rahman Ahad, J. Tan, H. Kim, S. IshikawaProblem statement: In template-based motion recognition approaches, feature sets are computed from the template for classification. Hu invariants are widely employed for this purpose since its inception. However, development of lower-dimensional feature vector sets is required for faster computation along with robust recognition. The concept of reduced size of Hu moment is really interesting. From its inception, seven higher orders … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,748 accessesView PDFCite
