Abstract

In the disclosed image-analysis scheme, a processing window of M by N pixels is successively scanned in single-pixel steps over a sensed image, with the centroid of the image data contained in each window position then being determined. When a pixel-by-pixel tabulation is made of the number of times each pixel has been determined to be the windowed-data centroid, those pixels having the higher tabulated centroid counts will tend to be the intra-image locations of any objects which are smaller than about M/2 by N/2 pixels.
