Abstract:
The present invention relates a system and method of image analysis, and more particularly to a computer-implemented system and method for object identification through segmentation. The system and method allows for segmenting homogenous or inhomogeneous objects of rather uniform dimensions and geometry in 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional images. The system and method is based upon image data point similarity sorting and contour identification.
