Patent abstract

A method of segmenting a digital image comprising the steps of performing a preliminary segmentation of the image into sub objects, defining a model object by selecting sub objects that define the model object, providing sub-object and model object features, using a fuzzy logic inference system to calculate segmentation parameters based on at least one of the sub object and model object features, and performing segmentation of the image using the segmentation parameters.
