ABSTRACT:
A potential region of interest segmentation device segments an image data into regions of potential interest. From the regions of potential interest, an identifying device identifies a region of interest including an object of interest based on a set of rules. A recognizing device differentiates among the identified objects of interest and selects at least one particular object of interest.
