In this paper, we have introduced new sets of fractional order orthogonal basis moments based on Fractional order Legendre orthogonal Functions (FLeFs) and Fractional order Laguerre orthogonal Functions (FLaFs) for image representation. We have generated a novel set of Fractional order Legendre orthogonal Moments (FLeMs) from fractional order Legendre orthogonal functions and a new set of Fractional order Laguerre orthogonal Moments (FLaMs) from the fractional order Laguerre orthogonal functions. The new presented sets of (FLeMs) and (FLaMs) are tested with the recently introduced Fractional order Chebyshev orthogonal Moments (FCMs). This edge detection filter can be used successfully in the gray level image and color images. The new sets of fractional moments are used to reconstruct the gray level image. The numerical results show FLeMs and FLaMs are promised techniques for image representation. The computational time of the proposed techniques is compared with the computational time of Chebyshev orthogonal Moments techniques and gives better results. Also, the fractional parameters give the flexibility of studying global features of the image at different positions of moments.
