Abstract
— This paper presents mathematical integration of Zernike Moments and United Moment Invariant for extractingprinted insect images. These features are further mining forgranular information by investigating the variance of Inter-class and intra-class. The results reveal that the proposedintegrated formulation yield better analysis compared toconventional Zernike moments and United Moment Invariant.

NTRODUCTION
he mathematical concept of moments has been aroundsince 1960s. Some of them are used for mechanics andstatistics to pattern recognition and image understanding.Past few years, there were many researchers on momentfunctions have been explored in pattern recognition such asUnited Moment Invariant, Aspect Moment Invariant and etc.The techniques have been investigated to improveconventional regular moment by proposing the scaling factorof geometrical function that has been proposed by Hu [1].However, previous studies reveal that there are weaknessesin Hu’s scaling factor [2].Table 1 shows previous studies on enhancement of Moment Invariants from year 1962 to year 2008. All theproposed techniques are based on the drawbacks of Geometric Moment Invariants. Some of the drawbacks are:1)
Not sensitivity to image noise, aspect of informationredundancy and capability for image representation [6].2)
Lose scale invariance in discrete condition [7].3)
Not good in boundary condition [4].4)
Error if the data are unequally scaling data [8].On the other hand, [3] has proposed United MomentInvariant (UMI) that was based on the Geometric MomentInvariant (GMI) [3], and it was derived to improve themoment invariants of [4]. UMI was developed to handlewith the images with boundary and shape representation.The remainder of this paper is organized as follows:Section II describes related work on Geometric MomentInvariants in pattern recognition. Section III describes an

Various studies have been conducted on improvement of the algorithms for United Moment Invariant and ZernikeMoment Invariant. In 1934, F. Zernike introduced ZernikeMoments, and later, in 1980, this technique was applied byM.Teague for digital images [5]. Consequently, there aremany applications on using ZMI have been explored (TableII).Zernike moment has been proven better in terms of offering the ability of features and sensitivity to the noisyphase low despite its complex calculation. Its representationin terms of a concentrated moment is given as follows [5]:
