ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an image analysis method for determining the interior points of an object in a background when the contour, or perimeter points, of the object are known. By accessing the interior points of an object, textural and color information can be derived, thereby allowing for object recognition. Further, the ability to determine interior points of an object allows for complete identification of all objects in an image. By determining the interior points, one may "blacken out", or effectively remove previously identified objects from an image, creating a remainder image for further searching.
