Abstract
An image processor for producing clusters of related objects in a multi-level digital representation of an image includes a part for identifying predetermined objects in the image and for supplying data defining their locations. It also includes a part for deriving segmentation data directly from the multi-level digital representation. A segmentation device receives both sets of data and clusters the predetermined objects into groups for each segmented region before providing clustering data for subsequent analysis.
