ABSTRACT:
A region bounding and classifying system utilizes memory and logic. The memory stores a set of image data that defines a graphical image. The logic is configured to identify a plurality of regions of different data types within the image and to bound each of the plurality of identified regions via a bounding region. The logic is configured to perform a prioritization of the data types included in the bounding region according to a predefined hierarchy of the data types. The logic is further configured to classify the bounding region based on the prioritization performed by the logic.
