  • In order to study moment invariants of color images, the quaternion is used to process color images and to implement the parallel processing of R, G and B components. Traditional complex moments for graylevel images are introduced to the quaternion, and the quaternion moments for describing a color image are presented. Then, the quaternion affine moment invariants are derived. Experimental results show that the stability of this method is superior to that of L.V.Gool's color affine moment invariants, and the value of /u have be improved by two orders of magnitude. The proposed quaternion moment invariants could be a useful tool in color pattern recognition and tracking.
