“…Zernike moments have been widely applied in the fields of image processing and pattern recognition, such as object recognition [17][18][19], shape matching [20,21], image watermarking [22][23][24], image retrieval [25,26], signature authentication [27], and so on. Zernike moments are utilized in the various applications because the Zernike basis function satisfies the orthogonal property [28,29], implying that no redundant information overlapped between the moments [30].…”
