Cell image recognition with radial harmonic Fourier moments

Various types of moments have been utilized to recognize image patterns in a number of applications. Multi-distortion invariant－radial harmonic Fourier moments were investigated in the recognition of cell smear images. Image recognition experiments showed that radial harmonic Fourier moments are not only highly concentrated image features but also have a good property of antidistortion and antinoise. They may be used in fast and accurate automatic cell recognition.
