Claim 7:
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: charting the locations of the centroids on a morpho-lexical histogram, dividing the morpho-lexical histogram into a plurality of virtual regions, wherein determining the morphologies of the graphical representations further comprises determining which of the graphical representations are contained within which of the plurality of virtual regions, and wherein assigning human readable lexical representations of the morphologies of the graphical representations further comprises assigning human readable lexical representations of the morphologies based upon the relationships between the virtual regions and the graphical representations contained within the virtual regions.
