Image Moment

In image processing, computer vision and related fields, an image moment is a certain particular weighted average (moment) of the image pixels' intensities, or a function of such moments, usually chosen to have some attractive property or interpretation.

Image moments are useful to describe objects after segmentation. Simple properties of the image which are found via image moments include area (or total intensity), its centroid, and information about its orientation.

Famous quotes containing the words image and/or moment:

    As good almost kill a man as kill a good book; who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God’s image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    April, April,
    Laugh thy girlish laughter;
    Then, the moment after,
    Weep thy girlish tears!
    Sir William Watson (1858–1935)
