1. A method to be executed in an electronic environment in which a processor is used, comprising:
- receiving an object sought to be transmitted over a network;
determining a contribution of pixels associated with the object; and
determining an image type of the object based on the contribution of the pixels.

Abstract
Visual objects can be classified according to image type. In one embodiment, the present invention includes capturing a visual object, and decompressing the visual object to a colorspace representation exposing each pixel. The contribution of each pixel to a plurality of image types can then be determined. Then, the contributions can be combined, and the image type of the visual object can be determined based on the contributions.
