Abstract
A method and apparatus for resolving a set of objects in an image of an area. A partition that captures a set of objects is identified using the image. The partition is comprised of a group of contiguous object pixels. A number of local max pixels are identified from the group of contiguous object pixels in the partition. A quantitative resolution of the set of objects captured in the partition is performed based on the number of local max pixels identified.
