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 in which each image element of the image data is assigned an integer value representing contact with neighboring image elements;
calculating, by a processor, a histogram based on the integer values of each image element in 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.

9. A system for identifying an object within a container, said system comprising:
-
a data collection system; and a detection classification system coupled to said data collection system, said detection classification system configured to; acquire image data representing an image; apply a morphological operator to the acquired image data to generate morphed image data in which each image element of the image data is assigned an integer value representing contact with neighboring image elements; calculate a histogram based on the integer values of each image element in the morphed image data; classify the image using the calculated histogram; and output a classification of the image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
