Abstract

See full text

Representations of an object 110 in an image generated by an imaging apparatus 100 can comprise one or more potential compound objects 500, where a compound object comprises two or more separate sub-objects. Compound objects can negatively affect the quality of object visualization and/or make identifying threat objects more difficult, for example. Accordingly, as provided herein, a representation of a potential compound object 500 can be examined for separation into sub-objects. To do so, three-dimensional image data of a potential compound object 500 is projected to generate one or more Eigen projections 504, and segmentation is performed on the two-dimensional Eigen projection(s) to identify sub-objects. Once sub-objects are identified, the segmented Eigen projection(s) 900 is back-projected into three-dimensional space 1104 for further processing, for example.
