Patent Images
1. A method for identifying an object within a container, said method comprising:
- acquiring image data representing an image;
applying a morphological operator to the acquired image data to generate morphed image data;
calculating a histogram based on the morphed image data;
classifying the image using the calculated histogram; and
outputting a classification of the image.

Abstract
A method for identifying an object within a container is provided. The method includes acquiring image data representing an image, applying a morphological operator to the acquired image data to generate morphed image data, calculating a histogram based on the morphed image data, and classifying the image using the calculated histogram. A classification of the image may be displayed and/or stored in a computer-readable memory.
