Abstract

This paper considers an algebraic method for symmetry analysis of digital images, based on the interpretation of such images as functions on “Gaussian fields”. These are finite fields \( {{\mathbb{G}}{\mathbb{F}}}(p^{2} ) \) of special characteristics \( p = 4k + 3 \), where \( k > 0 \) is an integer. It is shown that such fields may be considered as “finite complex planes” and some properties of such fields are studied. The concept of logarithm in Gaussian fields is introduced and used to define a “log-polar”-representation of digital images. Next, an algorithm for fourfold rotational symmetry detection in gray-level images is proposed.
