USAGE: moments [-z] infile
USAGE: moments [-h or -help]

-z ... Replaces NAN or DBZ with 0; default shows NAN and/or DBZ

PURPOSE: To compute shift, scale and rotation invariant image moments as well as elliptical shape descriptors.

DESCRIPTION: ENTROPY computes Hu and Maitra shift, scale and rotation invariant image moments as well as elliptical shape descriptors. Currently this script is limited to grayscale images. If the input is not grayscale, it will be converted to grayscale. The list of moments and shape descriptors is sent to the terminal.

ARGUMENTS:

-z ... replace (not a number) NAN (from square root of negative value) or (divide by zero) DBZ with 0 in Maitra moments. The default is to show NAN and/or DBZ.

CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk.

What the script does is as follows:

  • Computes the raw image moments
  • Computes the central image moments using some of the raw image moments
  • Computes the normalized central image moments
  • Computes the Hu invariant moments from the normalized central image moments
  • Computes Maitra invariant moments from the Hu invariant moments
