Patent ID: 7596250

Claim:
Method for processing images of irregularly shaped objects, comprising using at least a processor to perform the steps of: a stage of acquisition of a digital image of said object, a stage of image elaboration (IMA-EL) for quantizing said digital image to a 1 bit quantized image and a stage of metrical processing of said 1-bit quantized image, wherein said stage of metrical processing comprises a stage of object's metrical quantification (QUANT) for determining an Euclidean perimeter P and an Euclidean area A of said object; a stage of dimensional calculation (DIM-CLC) for calculating a fractal-corrected perimeter Pf and a fractal-corrected area Af of said object, wherein said fractal-corrected perimeter Pf is calculated from said Euclidean perimeter P and from a fractal dimension D P of the perimeter, and wherein said fractal-corrected area Af is calculated from said Euclidean area A and from a fractal dimension D A of the area.
