ABSTRACT:
A method of classifying pixels in an image comprises combining (a) a method of identifying pixels of a first content type, wherein said method may also falsely identify pixels of a second content type as belonging to said first content type, with (b) a method of distinguishing between pixels of types including said first content type and pixels of types including said second content type, wherein method (b) comprises (c) a method for distinguishing between said first content type and content including said second content type and/or (d) a method for distinguishing between said second content type and content including said first content type.
