Abstract

We propose a new formula for computing discrete geometric moments on 2D binary images. The new formula is based on the inclusion-exclusion principle, and is especially tailored for images coming from computer art, characterized by a prevalence of horizontal and vertical lines. On the target class of images, our formula reduces the number of pixels where calculations are to be performed.
