Identification of Three-Dimensional Aircraft by their Two-Dimensional Optical Images.

Abstract

To identify three-dimensional objects by their two-dimensional images (projections), the number of samples required is, in general very large. Using two-dimensional canonical affine moments, the number of samples can be considerably reduced. This report studies the application of canonical affine moment to the three-dimensional aircraft identification problem. A simulation program based on this method is included. The primary results of using only a few samples have shown the theoretical and practical usefulness of this method.
