Algorithms for Computing Zernike Moments and Image Reconstruction in Parallel Process

Zernike moments can be computed in several ways. This paper proposes several coefficient methods based on the recursive relations among multinomial coefficients to compute the Zernike moments. In addition, it proposes a parallel algorithm based on the q-recursive method for image reconstruction. The experimental results show that it takes only 3.965 seconds to reconstruct an image measuring 512 X 512 from all Zernike moments up to moment order 150.
