Abstract
A system and method for detecting a feature located on a surface, comprising: attaching a label to said feature; generating a label radiation from said label, a feature radiation from said feature, and a surface radiation from said surface; collecting said label radiation, said feature radiation, and said surface radiation; separating said label radiation from said feature radiation and said surface radiation; capturing the separated label radiation for generating an image of label, with said image of label having one or more pixels; and locating label pixels corresponding to said label radiation by searching for pixels, in said image of label, that possess substantially different pixel values when compared to other pixels in local neighborhood, whereby said feature is located by detecting said label.
