Quaternion generic Fourier descriptor for color object recognition
作者：
Highlights：
• We propose an image descriptor with the quaternion algebra to describe color images.
• A framework to develop robust invariants to geometric transformation is provided.
• Experiments are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed descriptor.
• The proposed descriptor performs robustly to geometric transformation and noise.
• A progress in accuracy of recognition has been made by the proposed descriptor.
• On real recognition scenarios, the proposed descriptor also performs superiorly.
