Abstract

A method and an apparatus for generating a plurality of parameters of an object in a field of view is disclosed. An electrical image of the field of view is formed. The electrical image is processed to form a plurality of different representations of the electrical image where each different representation is a representation of a different parameter of the field of view. The positional information, which represents the boundary of the object, is generated. In response to the positional information that represents the boundary of the object being generated, corresponding locations in each of the different representations is traced. The different parameters from each of the different represents are calculated as the locations are traced in each of the different representations.
