Using Computer Vision Techniques to Locate Objects in an Image

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study and implement a computer vision technique. Our goal was to have the ability to input a digitized image containing objects in a noise background, and output an image that contains only the objects. The results of applying the subsequent algorithms have been encouraging. Objects have been isolated on several images. At this point we have the capability to analyze the image at a higher level. Instead of attempting to look at every cell in the image, we can look at groups of cells or regions. This will allow us to give properties to each region that will distinguish it from the other regions. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Computer imaging, Digitized images, Image filters, Signal images.
