Abstract
The well-known scale and rotation invariant polar-logarithmic coordinate transformation is used to achieve in-plane distortion invariant pattern recognition. The coordinate transform is produced by a computer-generated hologram on a laser printer. Attention is given to weighting terms in the output and their effect on resolution and the number of input plane pixels removed near the origin. The optically produced coordinate transformed input pattern is interfaced to a correlator by a pocket liquid crystal TV to provide real-time processing. Experimental results are included.
