Abstract

A device for establishing one or several recording regions from an image region is provided. The device includes a neighborhood determining unit for determining whether two objects of the image region are neighboring. Additionally, the device includes a graph set determining unit for determining a graph set such that the graph set includes one or several complete graphs, each element of the complete graph being neighboring to every other element of this complete graph. Furthermore, the device includes a selection set determining unit configured to add a complete graph to the selection set when one of the elements of an object set is included by precisely this one of the complete graphs of the graph set. In addition, the device includes a recording region determining unit for determining the one or several recording regions based on the complete graphs of the selection set.
