First Claim
Patent Images
1. A pixel classification method, comprising:
- determining a background intensity level of an image, the background intensity level being based on substantially all of the pixels of the image;
classifying a pixel of the image; and
checking the classification of the pixel based on the determined background intensity level of the image.

Abstract
A pixel classification method for classifying pixels of an image by determining a background intensity level of an image which is based on substantially all of the pixels of the image. The method also involves classifying the pixels of the image and checking the classification of the pixel based on the determined background intensity level of the image.
