Abstract
Geometric invariants are features which unchanged under a variety of transformations
and they can be used as the shape descriptors to overcome many of
problems of object recognition problems in computer vision. The role of invariants
in computer vision has been advocated for various applications such as
shape representation, shape matching, object recognition and robotic. This thesis
solving problems associated with deriving invariants of two dimensional
objects under projective transformation groups in Euclidean space. In this thesis,
a method is given to determine projective invariants for planar objects under
projective transformation groups and an algorithm is given to apply the
derived invariants in order to solve some issues of object recognition under
transformation groups. The Cartan’s method of moving frame is applied to
derive these invariants. Novel integral potentials for 2D curves are proposed
to derive integral invariants under the action of a subgroup of projective transformation
with 6 degrees of freedom. In case of discrete data, new summation
invariants are proposed under subgroup of projective transformation of planar
objects with 6 degrees of freedom. Besides, comparison analysis has been
facilitated for the derived invariants and previous invariants for objects under
Euclidean, affine and projective group actions. Moreover, the performance of the method has been discussed for objects under white Gaussian-distributed
noise levels. This can solve the problem of deriving invariants for objects under
local projective transformation groups happening because of the existing x
and y in the dominator of this action in Euclidean space. Application of these
invariants to discrete data, obtained from a sample of boundary of car contour,
generates a pattern of similar classification under projective transformation.
In addition, a deductive method is proposed to derive invariants for projective
transformation by splitting this transformation group with 8 degrees of
freedom to subgroups of the projective transformation with lower 6 degrees
of freedom whose invariants can be derived based on the potential variables
for the standard actions of projective groups on R2. As image of an object under
projective transformation in some perspective view may largely deformed,
solving some problems associated with finding missing data in a planar object
which undergoing two different projective transformation groups is of interest.
Thereby a new algorithm is presented to find the data points in a planar
object which are not available to any reason while two different perspective
images of the object are available under two different types of projective transformation
group. The method is applied to generate missing data from the
boundary of a computed tomography image of a skull and a magnetic resonance
imaging representation of the brain. The robustness of the algorithm is
examined in the condition of white Gaussian noises to the sample data which
shows the good performance of the method.
