An Image Similarity Invariant Feature Extraction Method Based on Radon Transform

Abstract

With the advancements of computer technology, image recognition technology has been more and more widely applied and feature extraction is a core problem of image recognition. In study, image recognition classifies the processed image and identifies the category it belongs to. By selecting the feature to be extracted, it measures the necessary parameters and classifies according to the result. For better recognition, it needs to conduct structural analysis and image description of the entire image and enhance image understanding through multi-object structural relationship. The essence of Radon transform is to reconstruct the original N-dimensional image in N-dimensional space according to the N-1 dimensional projection data of N-dimensional image in different directions. The Radon transform of image is to extract the feature in the transform domain and map the image space to the parameter space. This paper study the inverse problem of Radon transform of the upper semicircular curve with compact support and continuous in the support. When the center and radius of a circular curve change in a certain range, the inversion problem is unique when the Radon transform along the upper semicircle curve is known. In order to further improve the robustness and discrimination of the features extracted, given the image translation or proportional scaling and the removal of impact caused by translation and proportion, this paper has proposed an image similarity invariant feature extraction method based on Radon transform, constructed Radon moment invariant and shown the description capacity of shape feature extraction method on shape feature by getting intra-class ratio. The experiment result has shown that the method of this paper has overcome the flaws of cracks, overlapping, fuzziness and fake edges which exist when extracting features alone, it can accurately extract the corners of the digital image and has good robustness to noise. It has effectively improved the accuracy and continuity of complex image feature extraction.
