Method of synthesized phase objects for pattern recognition with rotation invariance

We present a development of the method of synthesized phase objects (SPO-method) [1] for the rotation-invariant pattern recognition. For the standard method of recognition and the SPO-method, the comparison of the parameters of correlation signals for a number of amplitude objects is executed at the realization of a rotation in an optical-digital correlator with the joint Fourier transformation. It is shown that not only the invariance relative to a rotation at a realization of the joint correlation for synthesized phase objects (SP-objects) but also the main advantage of the method of SP-objects over the reference one such as the unified δ-like recognition signal with the largest possible signal-to-noise ratio independent of the type of an object are attained.
