Orthogonal Image Moments for Human-Centric Visual Pattern Recognition
暫譯: 以人為中心的視覺模式識別之正交影像矩

這本書並不專注於矩的數學性質，而是彙編了研究，展示了基於正交矩的特徵在臉部識別、表情識別、指紋識別和虹膜識別中的有效性。矩及其不變性在模式識別中的有用性是眾所周知的。然而，正交矩如何應用於以人為中心的視覺模式識別的特定問題則不太為人所知。與以往的書籍不同，本書強調了基於矩的模式識別中涉及的基本問題，從高維環境中選擇區分特徵，到解決如何根據小型訓練樣本對大量模式進行分類的問題。除了提供新概念以說明統計方法在解決這些問題中的應用外，本書還展示了最近的研究結果並提供了實施這些方法的指導。因此，這本書將對從事計算機視覺和視覺模式識別廣泛領域的研究人員和研究生感興趣。
