Abstract

See full text

A 2D image analyzer includes an image scaler, an image generator and a pattern finder. The image scaler is configured to scale an image according to a scaling factor. The image generator is configured to produce an overview image including a plurality of copies of the received and scaled image, wherein every copy is scaled about a different scaling factor. Thereby, the respective position can be calculable by an algorithm, which considers a gap between the scaled images in the overview image, a gap of the scaled image towards one or more borders of the overview image and/or other predefined conditions. The pattern finder is configured to perform a feature transformation and classification of the overview image in order to output a position at which an accordance of the searched pattern and the predetermined pattern is maximal. A post-processing unit for smoothening and correcting the position of local maxima in the classified overview image may also be provided.
