Abstract
We propose a "signature" for rotation-invariant representation of local image structure. The signature is a complex-valued vector constructed analytically from the projections of the image onto a set of oriented basis kernels. The components of the signature form an over-complete set of algebraic invariants, but are chosen to avoid instabilities associated with previously developed algebraic invariants. We demonstrate the use of this signature for representing and classifying junctions in grayscale imagery.
