ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods of classifying pixels into a nonhuman animal integument class are described. In one aspect, values of features in a discriminant space are determined for respective pixels of the input image. The pixels are classified into a nonhuman animal integument class based on the respective feature values and a mapping that segments the discriminant space into one or more regions of feature values representing pixels associated with a nonhuman animal integument characteristic and one or more regions of feature values representing pixels unassociated with the nonhuman animal integument characteristic.
