Multilevel bit-mapped image analysis method
First Claim
1. A method of bit-mapped image analysis comprising:
- classifying types of objects that are present within a bit-mapped image into one or more levels differing in complexity;
parsing the said bit-mapped image into objectsattaching every said object to one of said levels of complexity;
establishing links between said objects of said different levels of complexity;
establishing links between said objects within each level of complexity;
performing an object feature analysis, said object feature analysis comprising;
forming a hypothesis about a spatial feature or a parametrical feature of the object, wherein the spatial feature or the parametrical feature is associated with a level of complexity,examining the said hypothesis about the spatial feature or the parametrical feature of the object, andwhen necessary, correcting the spatial feature or the parametrical feature of the object of the same and other levels depending on a result from the said examining of the hypothesis.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a multilevel method of bitmapped image analysis that comprises a whole image data representation via its components—objects of different levels of complexity—hierarchically connected therebetween by spatially-parametrical links. The said method comprises preliminarily generating a classifier of the objects that possibly may be present in the image consisting of one or more levels differing in complexity; parsing the image into objects; attaching each object to one of predetermined levels; establishing hierarchical links between objects of different levels; establishing links between objects within the same level; and performing an object feature analysis. The objects feature analysis comprises at least generating and examining a hypothesis about object features and correcting the object'"'"'s features of the same and other levels in response to the hypothesis examination results. The step of object features analysis may also comprise execution of a recursive RX-cut within the same level.
