This paper addresses the way to compose paronamic images from images taken the same objects. With the spread of digital camera, the panoramic image has been studied to generate with its interest. In this paper, we propose a panoramic image generation method using scaling and rotation invariant features. First, feature points are extracted from input images and matched with a RANSAC algorithm. Then, after the perspective model is estimated, the input image is registered with this model. Since the SURF feature extraction algorithm is adapted, the proposed method is robust against geometric distortions such as scaling and rotation. Also, the improvement of computational cost is achieved. In the experiment, the SURF feature in the proposed method is compared with features from Harris corner detector or the SIFT algorithm. The proposed method is tested by generating panoramic images using $640{\times}480$ images. Results show that it takes 0.4 second in average for computation and is more efficient than other schemes.

For the recognizing system to be classified the same or different images in the nature the rotation, scale and transition invariant features is to be necessary. There are many investigations to get the feature for the recognition system and the log-polar transform which is to be get the invariant feature for the scale and rotation is used. In this paper, we suggested the character recognition methods which are used the centroid method and the log-polar transform with the interpolation to get invariant features for the character recognition system and obtained the results of the above 50% differential ratio for the character features. And we obtained the about 90% recognition ratio from the suggested character recognition system using the BPEJTC which is used the invariant feature from the Mellin transform method for the reference image. and can be recognized the scaled and rotated input character. Therefore, we suggested the image character recognition system using the Mellin transform method and the BPEJTC is possible to recognize with the invariant feature for rotation scale and transition.

In this paper, we proposed a contour shape description method which use the CFR(contour fluctuation ratio) feature. The CFR is the ratio of the line length to the curve length of a contour segment. The line length means the distance of two end points on a contour segment, and the curve length means the sum of distance of all adjacent two points on a contour segment. We should acquire rotation and scale invariant contour segments because each CFR is computed from contour segments. By using the interleaved contour segment of which length is proportion to the entire contour length and which is generated from all the points on contour, we could acquire rotation and scale invariant contour segments. The CFR can describes the local or global feature of contour shape according to the unit length of contour segment. Therefore we describe the shape of objects with the feature vector which represents the distribution of CFRs, and calculate the similarity by comparing the feature vector of corresponding unit length segments. We implemented the proposed method and experimented with rotated and scaled 165 fish images of fifteen types. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is not only invariant to rotation and scale but also superior to NCCH and TRP method in the clustering power.

Among various region detector and shape feature extraction method, MSER(Maximally Stable Extremal Region) and SIFT and its variant methods are popularly used in computer vision application. However, since SIFT is sensitive to the illumination change and MSER is sensitive to the scale change, it is not easy to apply the image similarity retrieval. In this paper, we present a Scale and Rotation Invariant Region Feature(SRIRF) descriptor using scale pyramid, MSER and affine normalization. The proposed SRIRF method is robust to scale, rotation, illumination change of image since it uses the affine normalization and the scale pyramid. We have tested the SRIRF method on various images. Experimental results demonstrate that the retrieval performance of the SRIRF method is about 20%, 38%, 11%, 24% better than those of traditional SIFT, PCA-SIFT, CE-SIFT and SURF, respectively.

Rotation and scale variations make it difficult to solve the problem of shape description and recognition because these variations change the location of points composing the shape. However, some geometric Invariant points and the relations among them are not changed by these variations. Therefore, if points in image space depicted with the r-y coordinates system can be transformed into a new coordinates system that are invariant to rotation and scale, the problem of shape description and recognition becomes easier. This paper presents a shape description method via transformation from the image space into the invariant feature space having two axes: representing relative distance from a centroid and contour segment curvature(CSC). The relative distance describes how far a point departs from the centroid, and the CSC represents the degree of fluctuation in a contour segment. After transformation, mesh features were used to describe the shape mapped onto the feature space. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to rotation and scale variations.

Iris recognition is a biometric technology which can identify a person using the iris pattern. It is important for the iris recognition system to extract the feature which is invariant to changes in iris patterns. Those changes can be occurred by the influence of lights, changes in the size of the pupil, and head tilting. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on Zernike Moment which is robust to rotations of iris patterns. we utilized a selection of Zernike moments for the fast and effective recognition by selecting global optimum moments and local optimum moments for optimal matching of each iris class. The proposed method enables high-speed feature extraction and feature comparison because it requires no additional processing to obtain the rotation invariance, and shows comparable performance to the well-known previous methods.

영상과 같은 다양하고 복잡한 데이터 검색은 기존의 키워드를 이용한 검색이 아닌 내용 기반 검색 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 입력된 사용자 질의를 객체의 위치이동이나 회전, 크기변화에 민감하지 않은 불변모멘트(Invariant Moments)값을 이용하여 효율적으로 검색할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다. 영상내의 단일 객체 뿐만 아니라 다중 객체들도 효과적으로 검출하기 위해 레이블링(Labeling) 알고리즘을 적용해 각각의 객체를 따로 분리하여 불변모멘트를 적용하는 방법을 이용했다. 또한, 검색 시간 단축 및 영상의 효율적인 인덱싱(Indexing)을 위해 해싱을 응용한 기법을 적용하였다. 이로써, 기존의 전체 영상의 특징을 가지고 정확히 표현할 수 없는 객체들을 정확히 표현해 줌으로서 좀더 정확한 검색 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Face detection using the LBP based feature descriptor has issues in that it can not represent spatial information between facial shape and facial components such as eyes, nose and mouth. To address these issues, in previous research, a facial image was divided into a number of square sub-regions. However, since the sub-regions are divided into different numbers and sizes, the division criteria of the sub-region suitable for the database used in the experiment is ambiguous, the dimension of the LBP histogram increases in proportion to the number of sub-regions and as the number of sub-regions increases, the sensitivity to facial orientation rotation increases significantly. In this paper, we present a novel facial region segmentation method that can solve in-plane rotation issues associated with LBP based feature descriptors and the number of dimensions of feature descriptors. As a result, the proposed method showed detection accuracy of 99.0278% from a single facial image rotated in orientation.

Iris recognition is a biometric technology that uses iris pattern information, which has features of stability, security etc. Because of this reason, it is especially appropriate under certain circumstances of requiring a high security. Recently, using the iris information has a variety uses in the fields of access control and information security. In extracting the iris feature, it is desirable to extract the feature which is invariant to size, lights, rotation. We have easy solutions to the problem of iris size and lights by previous processing but there is still problem of iris feature extract invariant to rotation. In this paper, To improve an awareness ratio and decline in speed for a revision of rotation, it is proposed that the iris recognition method using Zernike Moment and Daubechies Wavelet. At first step, the proposed method groups rotated iris into similar things by statistical feature of Zernike Moment invariant to a rotation, which shortens processing time of iris recognition and looks equal to an established method in the performance of recognition too. therefore, proposed method could confirm the possibility of effective application for large scale iris recognition system.
