Abstract
A computer-implemented method of automatically locating a portion of interest in image or matrix data derived from an item under consideration includes: identifying parts of the image or matrix data that satisfy a preset threshold as objects which are possibly parts of the portion of the interest; applying at least one preselected filter to the data corresponding to the objects to find a set of objects consisting of the objects most likely to be part of the portion of interest; sorting the objects of the set into clusters according to a predefined criterion; and using a known characteristic of the portion of interest to identify which one of the clusters corresponds to the portion of interest.
