Abstract
Illustrative embodiments of methods, machine-readable media, and computing devices allowing object selection in an image are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method may include detecting one or more features of an object in a machine-readable image file, simulating an electrostatic charge distribution by assigning a virtual point charge to each of the one or more detected features, determining a virtual electric potential field resulting from the simulated electrostatic charge distribution, and selecting a portion of the object in the machine-readable image file that is bounded by an equipotential line in the virtual electric potential field.
