This submission includes 3 mfiles and 6 image files:
1- Zernike_main.m (The main script that takes care of everything)
2- Zernikmoment.m (Calculates the Zernike moments for an NxN ROI)
3- radialpoly.m (Calculates the radial polynomials which are prerequisites for calculating Zernike moments)
4- Six .png files to test the code.
When you run the Zernike_main.m, it will calculate the Zernike moments of order n=4 and repetition m=2 for the input images. Since the first row images are just the rotated versions of a unique object (oval), the magnitudes of the Zernike moments for these three images are the same. In addition, the differences between the phases of the moments are proportional to the rotation angles of the images. Expectedly, the Zernike moments of two different shapes (e.g. oval and rectangle) are totally different. The reason of this behavior is the ability of Zernike moments in describing the shape of objects.
