Abstract
The present invention relates to a digital image analysis method for automatically identifying an object in a background, characterizing the object by color by determining at least one interior point of the object, and displaying the object on a monitor in color corresponding to the natural color of the object and a digital image analysis method for displaying an object on a monitor in color. The methods are adaptive in that they create a new pallette for each image being processed. The system used to implement the methods is cost effective in that a black-and-white image processing board can be used in conjunction with a color filter and a color monitor.
