Fast Algorithm for 2 D Geometric Moment in Sliding window Applications
The traditional algorithms for geometric moment focus on the single rectangle windows. It has very low efficiency in the sliding window applications. This issue prompts a new fast algorithm for 2 D geometric moment. It could efficiently reuse the overlapping pixels between conjoint sliding windows
and achieves much higher computation efficiency. The average number of the multiplications and additions is O(1)
regardless of the sliding windows size. Compared to the operation complexity of the traditional algorithm
known as O(N×L) in 2 D case
the new algorithm derived by this paper can improve its speed by the factor of nearly N×L. A number of computer experiments are performed to validate this conclusion. This operation speed of this new algorithm can satisfy the requirements of most real time applications.
