Systematic generation of moment invariant bases for 2D and 3D tensor fields

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a systematic approach to find bases of moment invariants with respect to orthogonal transformations using the generator method for scalar, vector, and tensor fields in two and three dimensions.

• We show that it is always possible to construct a basis using all homo- 5 geneous invariants and simultaneous invariants with no more than two different moment tensors.

• To the best of our knowledge, this results in the first 3D generator ap- proach that produces bases that are complete, independent, and exible, i.e., working for any input pattern.

• We reveal so far unknown structural similarity between the 3D generator approach and its 2D counterpart as well as between the 3D generator approach and the 3D normalization approach.
