Patent Images

1. A method for detecting an object in an image comprising:

  • obtaining one or more real images;

    analyzing the one or more real images and deriving a set of parameters defining each of the one or more real images;

    creating a modified image by;

    inserting at least one artificial object into at least one of the one or more real images;

    removing at least one object in at least one of the one or more real images;

    or a combination of inserting and removing;

    analyzing the modified image to derive a set of parameters defining the modified image;

    comparing the set of parameters derived from the modified image with the set of parameters derived from the one or more real images;

    determining the likelihood of additional objects being present within the one or more real images;

    repeating the steps of creating, analyzing, comparing, and determining;

    stopping the steps of creating, analyzing, comparing, and determining when the probability of additional, unidentified objects being present in the one or more real images has met a predetermined level; and

    generating a report describing compiled results of repeating the steps of inserting, analyzing, comparing, and determining.
