  • detecting, with a processor, an object within a region of interest;

    matching, with the processor, said object with an object template;

    dividing, with the processor, said object into a plurality of sub-regions based on said object template, wherein each sub-region represents a portion of the detected object;

    performing, with a processor, edge analysis on each of the plurality of sub-regions within said object to generate an edge score for each of said sub-regions;

    summing, with a processor, the edge score for each of said sub-regions; and

    classifying, with a processor, said object based on the sum of said edge scores.
