A set of Zernike moments has been successfully used for object recognition or content-based image retrieval systems. Real time applications using Zernike moments, however, have been limited due to its complicated definition. Conventional methods to compute Zernike moments fast have focused mainly on the radial components of the moments. In this paper, utilizing symmetric/anti-symmetric properties of Zernike basis functions, we propose a fast and efficient method for Zernike moments. By reducing the number of operations to one quarter of the conventional methods in the proposed method, the computation time to generate Zernike basis functions was reduced to about 20% compared with conventional methods. In addition, the amount of memory required for efficient computation of the moments is also reduced to a quarter. We also showed that the algorithm can be extended to compute the similar classes of rotational moments, such as pseudo-Zernike moments, and ART descriptors in same manner.

Vehicle dynamics control systems are complex and non-linear, so they have difficulties in developing a controller for the anti-lock braking systems and the auto-traction systems. Currently the fuzzy-logic technique to estimate the absolute vehicle speed supplies good results in normal conditions. But the estimation error in severe braking is discontented In this paper, we estimate the absolute vehicle speed of UCT(Unmanned Container Transporter) by using the wheel speed data from standard anti-lock braking system wheel speed sensors. Radial symmetric basis function of the neural network model is proposed to implement and estimate the absolute vehicle speed, and principal component analysis on input data is used 10 algorithms are verified experimentally to estimate the absolute vehicle speed and one of them is perfectly shown to estimate the vehicle speed within 4％ error during a braking maneuver.

Vehicle dynamics control systems are. complex and non-linear, so they have difficulties in developing a controller for the anti-lock braking systems and the auto-traction systems. Currently the fuzzy-logic technique to estimate the absolute vehicle speed is good results in normal conditions. But the estimation error in severe braking is discontented. In this paper, we estimate the absolute vehicle speed by using the wheel speed data from standard 50-tooth anti-lock braking system wheel speed sensors. Radial symmetric basis function of the neural network model is proposed to implement and estimate the absolute vehicle speed, and principal component analysis on input data is used. Ten algorithms are verified experimentally to estimate the absolute vehicle speed and one of those is perfectly shown to estimate the vehicle speed with a 4% error during a braking maneuver.
