Abstract
An image identification apparatus includes an extraction unit, an excluding unit, and an identification unit. The extraction unit extracts lines from an image. The exclusion unit excludes from objects to be identified a boundary delimiting an entire area of the image among the extracted lines. The identification unit identifies as an object multiple lines that are among the extracted lines and that are not excluded by the exclusion unit if the multiple lines are connected to each other.

An image identification apparatus comprising:
- an extraction unit that extracts lines from an image;
- an exclusion unit that excludes from objects to be identified a boundary delimiting an entire area of the image among the extracted lines;
- and
- an identification unit that identifies as an object a plurality of lines that are among the extracted lines and that are not excluded by the exclusion unit if the plurality of lines are connected to each other.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image identification, the process comprising:
- extracting lines from an image;
- excluding from objects to be identified a boundary delimiting an entire area of the image among the extracted lines;
- and
- identifying as an object a plurality of lines that are among the extracted lines and that are not excluded if the plurality of lines are connected to each other.
An image identification apparatus comprising:
- extraction means for extracting lines from an image;
- exclusion means for excluding from objects to be identified a boundary delimiting an entire area of the image among the extracted lines;
- and
- identification means for identifying as an object a plurality of lines that are among the extracted lines and that are not excluded by the exclusion means if the plurality of lines are connected to each other.
