摘要
A method for counting objects in an image includes the steps of: (a) providing an image including at least one object defined in the image in shades of at least one color; (b) identifying objects in the image having a shade of color which exceeds a threshold shade so as to provide a number of identified objects; (c) evaluating objects of the number of identified objects based upon object criteria to determine whether each object satisfies the criteria and can be counted, or does not satisfy the criteria and is suspect and needs further analysis; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for objects which are suspect at shades of color increasingly exceeding the threshold shade until all objects satisfy the criteria; and (e) providing a count of the objects, whereby accuracy of the count is enhanced. Each object is preferably tested for one or more criteria including object size, visibility, color, surface quality and shape.
