Hi, instead of:

x_bar, y_bar = props.centroid

it must be:

y_bar, x_bar = props.centroid

Hope that helps? Johannes Am 06.01.2014 um 13:11 schrieb Jaidev Deshpande :

Hi all,

According to the wikipedia page on image moments, central moments and raw moments are related as in this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_moment#Central_moments

I’ve been trying to examine these relationships using the skimage.measure module.

I created an ellipse image as per the measure region properties example (http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/auto_examples/plot_regionprops.html#example...) and rotated it.

Then I ran the following script:

from skimage.measure import regionprops, moments, moments_central from skimage.morphology import label

props = regionprops(image) # where `image` is the rotated ellipse x_bar, y_bar = props.centroid

raw_moments = moments(image) central_moments = moments_central(image, x_bar, y_bar)

Now according to the wikipedia page, central_moments[2,0] should be equal to: raw_moments[2,0] - x_bar * raw_moments[1,0]

But that’s not working out. In fact, the value yielded by the above formula is much larger than what skimage says it should be.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
