Quaternion polar harmonic Fourier moments for color images

Abstract This paper proposes quaternion polar harmonic Fourier moments (QPHFM) for color image processing and analyzes the properties of QPHFM. After extending Chebyshev–Fourier moments (CHFM) to quaternion Chebyshev-Fourier moments (QCHFM), comparison experiments, including image reconstruction and color image object recognition, on the performance of QPHFM and quaternion Zernike moments (QZM), quaternion pseudo-Zernike moments (QPZM), quaternion orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments (QOFMM), QCHFM, and quaternion radial harmonic Fourier moments (QRHFM) are carried out. Experimental results show QPHFM can achieve an ideal performance in image reconstruction and invariant object recognition in noise-free and noisy conditions. In addition, this paper discusses the importance of phase information of quaternion orthogonal moments in image reconstruction.
