Abstract
In a method and system for identifying objects in an image, an image and training data are received. The training data identifies a pixel associated with an object of a particular type in the image. A plurality of filtered versions of the image are developed. The training data and the plurality of filtered versions of the image are processed to develop a trained model for classifying pixels associated with objects of the particular type. The trained model is applied to the image to identify pixels associated a plurality of objects of the particular type in the image. Additional image processing steps are developed to further refine the identified pixels for better fitting of the contour of the objects with their edges.
