moments

moments

skimage.measure.moments(image, order=3) [source]

Calculate all raw image moments up to a certain order.

The following properties can be calculated from raw image moments:

• Area as: m[0, 0].
• Centroid as: {m[0, 1] / m[0, 0], m[1, 0] / m[0, 0]}.

Note that raw moments are neither translation, scale nor rotation invariant.

Parameters:	image : 2D double or uint8 array Rasterized shape as image. order : int, optional Maximum order of moments. Default is 3.
Returns:	m : (order + 1, order + 1) array Raw image moments.

>>> image = np.zeros((20, 20), dtype=np.double)
>>> image[13:17, 13:17] = 1
>>> m = moments(image)
>>> cr = m[0, 1] / m[0, 0]
>>> cc = m[1, 0] / m[0, 0]
>>> cr, cc
