Invariance to rotation.

The figure 8 represents an image Lizard which has been submitted to six rotations from tex2html_wrap_inline1021 to tex2html_wrap_inline1031 in the image plane. The results on the figure 9 show clearly that the characterization with the feature vector tex2html_wrap_inline1103 is invariant to rotation in a robust way. According to the number of correct matches to be found, we are able to obtain more than 90 tex2html_wrap_inline1033 of correct matches in most of cases, whatever the rotation applied. To realize the matching, we have used the method of comparison vector described at section 4.1 and the relaxation technique introduced at section 4.2.
