Varifold Moment Invariants for Sustainable and Explainable Contour Feature Extraction
We introduce Varifold Moments Invariants (VMI) as a unifying framework for many previously introduced Moment Invariants. These invariants are deeply related to other contour features that are invariant under translations and rotations, like Extended Gaussian Image, Elliptic Fourier Descriptors or Shape Distributions. The advantage of the varifold approach to moments consists in being able to combine the geometry of the region, its boundary, and the family of lines tangent to it, in order to create a substantial number of invariant features with high discriminating power and clear geometric meaning. By coupling our VMI feature extraction with the light feature classifiers Random Forest or ...
