ABSTRACT:
A method for associating with a digital image a class of a plurality of predefined classes having respective models, the method including the phases of dividing the digital image pixel by pixel into one or more regions belonging to a set of predefined regions that differ from each other on account of their type of content, the division being effected by establishing whether or not a pixel of the image belongs to a respective region on the basis of an operation of analyzing the parameters this pixel, the analysis operation being carried out by verifying that the parameters satisfy predefined conditions and/or logico-mathematical relationships of belonging to the respective region, acquiring from the digital image divided into regions information regarding the regions that are present in it, comparing this information with at least one model characterizing a respective class of said plurality, and associating with the digital image a class on the basis of the comparison phase.
