New optical transforms for pattern recognition

New optical transformations are discussed. These include Mellin transforms, Fourier-Mellin transforms, and combinations of Geometrical transformations and Fourier-Mellin operations. Scale, postional, and rotational invariant correlations with no loss in SNR are demonstrated.
