Stable and Invertible Generic Fourier Descriptors for Shape-Based Image Classification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The increasing consumer demand for smart surveillance devices capable of behavior analysis and danger alerting has led to the utilization of various descriptors for image recognition across applications, independent of image position, orientation, and scale. Despite this, few studies have focused on the completeness property of invariant descriptors for grayscale, color, and three-dimensional images. Completeness ensures descriptor distinctiveness for specific shapes, a property that is challenging to achieve and, at times, has been accessible for planar curves. The recently introduced concept of invariants’ invertibility, associated with completeness, facilitates the reconstruction of an object’s shape through similar transformations. This paper proposes a Stable and Invertible Generic Fourier Descriptor (SIGFD) for gray-level images. We demonstrate the invariance, convergence, and completeness properties of the proposed SIGFD set. To assess its robustness, we conduct experimental evaluations on well-known datasets such as Kimia 99, MPEG-7, and COIL100. Additionally, we utilize our proprietary FSTEF Faces dataset to further evaluate face recognition performance. The effectiveness of the proposed SIGFD sets is evidenced through the various studies presented in this work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
