Abstract

In this paper, a novel interest point detector based on Local Zernike Moments is presented. Proposed detector, which is named as Robust Local Zernike Moment based Features (R-LZMF), is invariant to scale, rotation and translation changes in images and this makes it robust when detecting interesting points across the images that are taken from same scene under varying view conditions such as zoom in/out or rotation. As our experiments on the Inria Dataset indicate, R-LZMF outperforms widely used detectors such as SIFT and SURF in terms of repeatability that is main criterion for evaluating detector performance.
