Looking for Image Interpretation Code

[casybay]

Hi all,

I am going to interpret a picture which I have done the enhancement and segmentation. It is a picture of several flowers (in a round shape). I am thinking to catalog them into shapes (i.e.,calculate how many circles in the picture). My program of enhancement and segmentation is written in JAVA, so I will keep using JAVA for interpretation. Since the techniques of image interpretation is so abstract, I have no idea what algorithm I could use.

Any suggestion or sample code will be appreciated!!!

you can try neural networks (they work well for unclear things)

Assuming that the shapes to be identified and categorized can be isolated from their surroundings, then:

1. Isolate each shape in turn, as a blob of pixels
2. For each blob, calculate various shape parameters (horizontal range, vertical range, aspect ratio, circularity, etc.)
3. Use these attributes to categorize the shape
4. Count to produce tallies
