Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for detecting interest sections in a still image are provided. One or more sub images of the still image is subjected to segmentation. A gray scale version of interest sub images and/or a binary image version of the interest sub images are matched with a predefined template for filtering the interest sub images. Multiple prospective image sections comprising one or more of prospective interest sections and prospective near interest sections are determined by performing discriminative feature analyses of the filtered interest sub images using a gabor feature filter. The discriminative feature analyses are processed by a boosted cascade of classifiers. The boosted cascade of classifiers detects the interest sections in the still image from the prospective interest sections and the prospective near interest sections. The detected interest sections are subjected to a support vector machine classifier for further detecting interest sections.
