Abstract
Deriving translation and rotation invariant representations is a fundamental problem in computer vision with a substantial literature. I propose a new set of features which
a, are simultaneously invariant to translation and rotation; b, are sufficient to reconstruct the original image with no loss (up to a badwidth limit); c, do not involve matching with a template image or any similar discontinuous operation.
The new features are based on Kakarala`s generalization of the bispectrum to compact Lie groups and a projection onto the sphere. I validated the method on a handwritten digit recognition dataset with randomly translated and rotated digits. Paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.CV/0701127
