A physically demarcated body part is recognized and located using only a relatively small amount of computation, but with a sufficient degree of recognition accuracy. For this purpose a procedure is proposed for detecting physically demarcated body parts (face, hand, leg) of a person's image () if a body part () as depicted in front of a background (). Borderlines () in the image are only evaluated along line directions (') to determine, by comparing with model (), whether the body part image corresponds to a type of body part given by the model. In addition, line directions (&#x2032;) inside a body part image and borderline directions () of a physically demarcated body part are used to locate and store its position.
