Tp6 : tchebychev moments

The two-dimensional (2-D) Tchebichef moment of order (n+m) of an image intensity function
f ( x , y ) with size M×N is defined as
M −1 N −1
T n m= ∑ ∑ ( tn ( x ) t m ( y ) f ( x , y ) ) (1)
x=0 y=0

Where t n ( x ) is the nth order orthonormal Tchebichef polynomial defined by:

(1−M )n n (−n )k (−x )k (1+n)k

t n ( x )= ∑ (2)
√ ρ(n , M ) k=0 (k !) k (1−M )k

Here ( a )kis the Pochhammer symbol

(a)n=a ( a+1 ) ( a+2 ) … ( a+k −1 ) , k ≥ 1∧ ( a )0=1 (3)

End the squared-norm ρ( n , M ) is given by:

( N +n ) !
ρ( n , M )= (4)
( 2n+1 )( N−n−1 ) !

Equation (2) can be rewritten as:

n
t n ( x )=∑ Cn k (−x )k (5)
k=0

Where

(−1 ) ! ( n+ k ) ! (1−N )n
C nk = (6)
√ ρ(n , M ) ( n−k ) !(k !)2 (1−N )k

(−1)n ( n+ k ) ! ( N −k −1 ) !
¿
√ ρ( n , M ) ( n−k ) ! (k !)2 ( N −n−1 ) !

The orthogonality property leads to the following inverse moment transform

M −1 N−1
f ( x , y )= ∑ ∑ ( tn ( x ) t m ( y ) T nm ) (7)
n=0 m=0
