Abstract
The present invention discloses a multilevel method of bitmapped image analysis that comprises a whole image data representation via its components—objects of different levels of complexity—hierarchically connected therebetween by spatially-parametrical links. The said method comprises preliminarily generating a classifier of the objects that possibly may be present in the image consisting of one or more levels differing in complexity; parsing the image into objects; attaching each object to one of predetermined levels; establishing hierarchical links between objects of different levels; establishing links between objects within the same level; and performing an object feature analysis. The objects feature analysis comprises at least generating and examining a hypothesis about object features and correcting the object's features of the same and other levels in response to the hypothesis examination results. The step of object features analysis may also comprise execution of a recursive RX-cut within the same level.
