Title:
IMAGE ANALYSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/098752
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for identifying features in an image. The method comprises fitting a plurality of second models to the image, the plurality of second models together modelling a region of interest, wherein each part of the region of interest is modelled by at least two of the plurality of second models; and identifying the features in the image based upon the fit of the plurality of second models.
