Abstract :
The method of moments has been used in several forms for shape recognition. Due to the dynamic range of the moments, high-order moment elements do not contribute significantly in the classification process and in some cases they reduce the classification accuracy. A normalization procedure, called aspect ratio normalization, which improves the classification accuracy, is discussed. The procedure is applied to a set of data to demonstrate its performance.<>
