Patent Images
1. An automated method of classifying objects visually into one of a plurality of object types, the method comprising in the order presented the automated steps of:
- receiving a still image including an object;
bounding the object within the image;
dividing the bound portion of the image into a plurality of profile sections;
performing a transform on each of the profile sections selected from the group consisting of discrete cosine transforms and discrete Fourier transforms; and
executing a Bayes classifier function to segregate the object into one of the object types.

Abstract
An automated method of, and computer software and apparatus for, classifying objects visually into one of a plurality of object types comprising receiving a still image including an object, bounding the object within the image, dividing the bound portion of the image into a plurality of profile sections, performing a transform on each of the profile sections selected from discrete cosine transforms and discrete Fourier transforms, and executing a Bayes classifier function to segregate the object into one of the object types.
