IMAGE RECOGNITION METHOD

Summary

The present invention provides an image recognition method for recognizing a plurality of objects in an image, wherein each object is composed of a plurality of image segments. The image recognition method includes the steps of: sequentially acquiring every pixel of the image; identifying a start point of a newly detected image segment; recording information of the newly detected image segment pixel-by-pixel from the start point; identifying an end point of the newly detected image segment; recognizing an object to which the newly detected image segment belongs according to the start point and the end point of the newly detected image segment; and identifying an invalid object or a merged object thereby releasing the data space thereof.

Technology Benefits

In the image recognition method of the present invention, when the acquisition of all pixels in one row or one column is accomplished, an object is identified as a complete object when there is no newly detected image segment associated thereto; when a size or an average brightness of a complete object is not within a predetermined range, the complete object is identified as an invalid object; and when the newly detected image segment simultaneously belongs to a plurality of objects, a merged objet is identified.
