Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce an alternative definition for ordinary moments and use them to redefine moment based blur invariants. With this change, we are able to increase the discriminative power significantly, as well as robustness to blur. The superiority of our proposed method is illustrated in comparison to another similar descriptor in an experiment on the FRGC database.
