Affine Normalization of Symmetric Objects

A new method of normalization is used for the construction of the affine moment invariants. The affine transform is decomposed into translation, scaling, stretching, two rotations and mirror reflection. The object is successively normalized to these elementary transforms by means of low order moments. After normalization, other moments of normalized object can be used as affine invariant features of the original object. We pay special attention to the normalization of symmetric objects.
