ABSTRACT:
An object detection and extraction system and method for processing digital image data. The system and method segregates objects contained within a single image and allows those objects to be considered as an individual object. In general, the object detection and extraction method takes an image containing one or more objects of know shape (such as rectangular objects) and finds the number of objects along with their size, orientation and position. In particular, the object detection and extraction method includes classifying each pixel in an image containing one or more objects to obtain pixel classification data, defining an image function to process the pixel classification data, and dividing the image into sub-images based on disparities or gaps in the image function. Each of the sub-images is processed to determine a size and an orientation for the each of the objects. The object detection and extraction system uses the above method.
