The fast computation of Zernike moments from normalized geometric moments has been developed in this paper. The computation is multiplication free and only additions are needed to generate Zernike moments. Geometric moments are generated using Hatamian's filter up to high orders by a very simple and straightforward computation scheme. Other kinds of moments (e.g., Legendre, pseudo Zernike) can be computed using the same algorithm after giving the proper transformations that state their relations to geometric moments. Proper normalizations of geometric moments are necessary so that the method can be used in the efficient computation of Zernike moments. To ensure fair comparisons, recursive algorithms are used to generate Zernike polynomials and other coefficients. The computational complexity model and test programs show that the speed-up factor of the proposed algorithm is superior with respect to other fast and/or direct computations. It perhaps is the first time that Zernike moments can be computed in real time rates, which encourages the use of Zernike momentfeatures in different image retrieval systems that support huge databases such as the XM experimental model stated for the MPEG-7 experimental core. It is concluded that choosing direct computation would be impractical.

Linear discrimiant analysis (LDA) has been used in face recognition. But it is difficult to handle the high nonlinear problems, such as changes of large viewpoint and illumination. In order to overcome these problems, kernel discriminant analysis for face recognition is presented. This approach adopts the kernel functions to replace the dot products of nonlinear mapping in the high dimensional feature space, and then the nonlinear problem can be solved in the input space conveniently without explicit mapping. Two face databases are given.

Based on the analysis of the groove images in gas metal arc welding with small slope angle, a new algorithm of the groove edge location is presented. The groove edge was effectively detected by combining Roberts Detector with the general non linear gradient operator. In addition, using Norton Quadratic Polynomial Interpolation, the edge location precision reached sub pixel level. The experimental results show that the edge detection system works well under the condition of short transfer arc welding.

The concept of an occlusion mesh model is introduced. An object tracking algorithm based on an occlusion mesh model is proposed. A modified occlusion detection method is considered to improve the detection accuracy. A mesh nodes motion estimation method based on feature window matching is presented to achieve sub-pixel resolution and overcome block artifacts produced by block matching. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is practical and feasible, it can be used for object tracking effectively. Also it solves the 2D motion estimation problem existing in occlusion regions and shows better visual performance.
