moments calculates all of the moments up to the third order of a polygon or rasterized shape.

Usage

moments(x, binary = FALSE)

Arguments

x

Either a Nx2 matrix of the X-Y coordinates of a polygon (e.g., a contour produced by findContours), or a single-channel Image object.

binary

If set to TRUE (default: FALSE), all non-zero image pixels are treated as 1's. The parameter is used for images only.

Value

A data frame with 2 columns:

"moment":

the name of the moment. See Note below.

"value":

the value of the moment.

Note

The spatial moments \(m_{ji}\) are computed as: $$m_{ji}= \sum _{x,y} \left ( \texttt{contour} (x,y) \cdot x^j \cdot y^i \right )$$

The central moments \(\mu_{ji}\) are computed as: $${\mu_{ji}}= \sum _{x,y} \left ( \texttt{contour} (x,y) \cdot (x - \bar{x} )^j \cdot (y - \bar{y} )^i \right )$$ where \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) is the mass center: $$\bar{x} = \frac{m_{10}}{m_{00}} , \; \bar{y} = \frac{m_{01}}{m_{00}}$$

The normalized central moments \(\eta_{ji}\) are computed as: $$\eta_{ji}= \frac{\mu_{ji}}{m_{00}^{(i+j)/2+1}} .$$
