Application and properties of the radon transform for object image matching

Abstract

The Radon transform and the reverse formulas are mostly used in computer tomography to reconstruct the original shape. The projections of an image could be used in computer vision for object recognition, based on projection matching. By comparing the projections, an effective method could be defined. To understand the projection behavior the basic properties of the transform are inspected, and the results of several image transformations are analyzed.
