ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting open space in a digital image, the method comprises the steps of creating an activity map for permitting determination of the activity of the digital image; determining which pixels in the activity map are below a threshold; and identifying open space as contiguous pixels of the activity map having values below the predetermined threshold.
