Claim One:
1. A method for evaluating a possible pallet object in a gray scale image including one or more pallets, comprising: generating, by a computer, a first confidence score Score LowerLeftCorner for a lower left corner associated with the possible pallet object; generating, by the computer, a second confidence score Score LowerRightCorner for a lower right corner associated with the possible pallet object; generating, by the computer, a third confidence score Score BaseboardLine for a bottom pallet board line associated with the possible pallet object; generating, by the computer, a fourth confidence score Score hole for a center stringer associated with the possible pallet object; and calculating, by the computer, a composite score Score Object based on the first, second, third and fourth confidence scores, wherein the composite score Score Object represents a likelihood that the possible pallet object corresponds to an actual pallet structure in the gray scale image.
