ABSTRACT:
Computer programs for capture and analysis of digitized image data signals comprising frame, scan line and digitizer stripe numbers, and edge-detection or bright-spot data relating to images in a field of interest, which includes the steps of converting the edge-detection data to bright spot, reducing the amount of data processed by eliminating duplicate data, normalizing the data into X and Y coordinates, finding image features of interest, selecting features to be reported, and reporting type, number, pattern or location of the image features in the field. An example is processing of shotgun target images scanned by a video camera (whose signals are digitized) through a slit viewing a rotating illuminated drum on which a target has been placed. Other uses include: astronomical image analysis; satellite photos of sites; gatherings of people, things, animals or crops in fields; and movements of objects through a field of view such as objects on a conveyor belt, traffic, ballistic objects, and the like.
