ImageMoment


Computes the selected moment of an image in regular and normalized (divided by sum of pixel values) variant.

Name Type Description
inImage Image Input image
inRoi Region* Range of pixels to be processed

inCentral Bool
outMoment Real
outNormMoment Real

Description

The operation computes the mathematical features of an image called moments. Those are sums computed as follows:

\[ \begin{aligned} Moment_{0,0}(Image,Roi) &= \sum_{p \in Roi} Image(p_x,p_y) \cdot 1 \\ Moment_{0,1}(Image,Roi) &= \sum_{p \in Roi} Image(p_x,p_y) \cdot p_y \\ Moment_{1,0}(Image,Roi) &= \sum_{p \in Roi} Image(p_x,p_y) \cdot p_x \\ Moment_{0,2}(Image,Roi) &= \sum_{p \in Roi} Image(p_x,p_y) \cdot p_y^2 \\ Moment_{1,1}(Image,Roi) &= \sum_{p \in Roi} Image(p_x,p_y) \cdot p_x p_y \\ Moment_{2,0}(Image,Roi) &= \sum_{p \in Roi} Image(p_x,p_y) \cdot p_x^2 \end{aligned} \]

The summing is conducted over all pixels in inRoi region, while \( p_x \) and \( p_y \) denote, accordingly, x and y coordinate of a pixel.

When inCentral parameter is set, the image is shifted before computations, so that its mass center is at location (0,0).

Hardware Acceleration

This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.
