METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION OF OBJECTS ON IMAGE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06K9/48 G06T7/40 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method includes forming and storing reference and current contour images, rendering said images in the form of half-tone distant images, where pixel brightness is proportional to the distance to the nearest contour, selecting areas possibly containing an object on the images by scanning with a contour reference while counting for each reference position the brightness sum of the points on the distant half-tone image covered by the contour reference, making points where the brightness sum is less than a given threshold, at the selected areas of the images, calculating a cross-correlation function of current and reference images, comparing the selected areas of the current images with the reference half-tone distant images of said areas, determining the reference position on the selected areas where the extremum of the cross-correlation function is reached, determining the position of the object from the position of the extremum of the cross-correlation function.

EFFECT: high accuracy of detecting an object on an image.
