Abstract
There is disclosed a technique executed on a mobile computing device for use in analyzing image data. A heatmap is received, wherein the map comprises data representing a single channel image. A plurality of cache levels are built, wherein each cache level comprises a plurality of zones comprising pixel data, wherein each successive cache level comprises a successively lower resolution and corresponding increase in the number of zones. At each cache level, pixel data is analyzed in each zone beginning with the cache level having the lowest resolution and recursively analyzing each successive cache level. The zone is disabled from further analysis if the zone analysis determines the zone to be empty. The zone is marked for further analysis if the zone analysis determines the zone to be full. Edges associated with pixels in the zone are detected. A vector associated with a marker is created, wherein a vector includes positional and magnitude information and the vector is added to a list of vectors.
