Abstract: Fourier descriptor is an essential way for shape description.As a generation of Fourier transform,the fractional Fourier transform has been widely used in the field of digital signal processing projects,but there has been few research reports of applying it to shape analysis.In this paper,it’s the first time to study the method of shape description under fractional Fourier transform,comparing the image retrieval performances of fractional Fourier descriptors with different fractional orders.Retrieval tests are conducted on MPEG-7 contour shape database CE-1.The retrieval results of fractional Fourier descriptors with different orders to different type of shape distortions are fully analyzed.When the order is 0.1,the fractional Fourier descriptor performs worst.With the growth of the order,retrieval results of the fractional Fourier descriptors become better and better.When the order changes to 1.0,the fractional Fourier descriptor performs best.Meanwhile,comparing with the Zernike moment:When the order is 0.1,the Zernike moment gets better result.When the order is 0.1 and 1.0,the fractional Fourier descriptors get better results.

Key words: image retrieval, shape description, Fourier descriptors, fractional Fourier transform

摘要: 傅里叶描述子是一种经典的形状描述方法。作为傅里叶变换的推广形式,分数阶傅里叶变换在数字信号处理工程领域已有相当广泛的应用,但在形状分析领域还很少有研究工作的报道。首次研究了基于分数阶傅里叶变换的形状描述方法,比较了不同阶数下的分数阶傅里叶描述子在图像检索中的性能。通过在MPEG-7的标准图像测试集的图像检索实验,得出:阶数ρ为0.1时,分数阶傅里叶描述子的检索效果最差,随ρ=0.1的增长,检索性能总体呈上升趋势,当ρ=0.5变化到1.0时,检索性能最高。同时,与Zernike矩进行比较:当阶数为0.1时,分数阶傅里叶描述子的检索性能较差;而阶数为0.5、1.0时分数阶傅里叶描述子的检索性能均较好。
