Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method for identifying characteristics of features present within an image, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, via one or more processors, image data comprising at least one embedded image;
identifying, via the one or more processors, image analysis criteria stored within one or more non-transitory memory storage areas, wherein the image analysis criteria comprises at least one feature identification model and at least one scaling model;
applying, via the one or more processors, the at least one feature identification model to the at least one embedded image to identify a plurality of included features represented within the at least one embedded image, wherein the plurality of included features comprises at least one reference feature;
applying, via the one or more processors, the at least one scaling model, based at least in part on the at least one reference feature, to establish an absolute measurement scale for the at least one embedded image;
measuring, via the absolute measurement scale, a distance between locations within the at least one embedded image and associated with at least two of the plurality of included features; and
determining, based at least in part on the image analysis criteria and the distance between the at least two of the plurality of included features, image characteristics for the image data.
