Rotation analysis of moment invariant for 2D and 3D shape representation for molecular structure of ATS drugs

Drug abuse among the people around the world is getting serious and increase nowadays. An Amphetamine-Type Stimulant (ATS) drug is one of the popular drugs in the world. This kind of drug is a combination of two types of drugs; amphetamine and ecstasy. In this project, we are focusing on two different techniques used to compare the result between 2D and 3D ATS drug molecule. Besides that, this project is also looking for the best technique to produce 2D and 3D images. United Moment Invariant (UMI) and Hough Transform (HT) are the feature extraction methods that will be used to extract data from both 2D and 3D molecular structure of the ATS drugs. Later, the extracted data will be processed into WEKA for classification accuracies for both molecular structures. As a conclusion, the MI and the HT technique will definitely provide different results, but both techniques will perform well with the ATS molecular structure.
