Data characteristicsFeature description

Legendre momentBefore extracting features, simply normalize the image matrix. Based on BP neural network letter recognition, each sample is represented by a 121-dimensional feature vector.
Pseudo-Zernike momentThe preprocessing process is the same as Legendre, calculated to 9th order
Pseudo-Zernike momentThe preprocessing process is the same as that of Legendre. After calculating to the 8th order, a 36-dimensional feature vector is used to represent each sample.
Fourier transformExtract from the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right of the character image matrix to obtain a 32-dimensional feature vector of the low-frequency region of the image matrix.
Primitive feature extractionCombine each sample with 7 primitives to generate a 7-dimensional feature vector.
Edge feature extractionBefore extracting features, the image is refined into a skeleton image.
